• Axal

  Participated · Seed · Oct 2024

  Axal is developing a network of autonomous agents that execute user requests by generalizing intents into multistep actions and completing them on blockchain. The company uses an ecosystem of AI solvers that bid to execute request steps; successful actions are stamped on the blockchain to provide verifiable proof of correct execution. Many agents focus on monetary products within decentralized finance, enabling automated swaps, trades, and yield management. Axal’s first product, Autopilot, is a trading platform powered by these autonomous agents and begins by using user risk-assessment questions to allocate strategies. Autopilot lets token holders build strategies without tracking prices; the agents handle trades, swaps, and yield management automatically. Founder Ash Ahmed frames the product as combining intent abstraction, blockchain trust guarantees, and competitive agent markets. Axal plans to use new funding to expand its team and further develop the agent creation, coordination, and verification architecture.

  Qiro Finance is a Singapore‑headquartered decentralized finance startup building a decentralized credit protocol to bridge credit gaps in emerging markets. Founded by Akshay Poshatwar and Nishikant Bahalkar, the company connects non‑banking financial institutions in emerging markets with global investors using blockchain and stablecoin technologies. Its protocol facilitates tokenized real‑world asset (RWA)‑backed credit applications by integrating asset originators, investors, and credit underwriters and aims to provide open credit data and risk underwriting infrastructure. Qiro plans to initially support fintech asset originators in Southeast Asia with plans to expand into other emerging markets. The startup recently closed a $1.2M funding round and has also received a 100,000 MATIC grant from Polygon and a $50,000 development grant from the Aptos Foundation. The company positions itself to mitigate limited non‑bank credit access in emerging markets and to scale RWA credit on‑chain with a protocol‑level risk management layer.
