Companies
Arbitrum Foundation
Arbitrum is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum designed to increase transaction throughput and reduce gas fees while maintaining the security guarantees of Ethereum’s mainnet. It uses an Optimistic Rollup architecture, which batches multiple transactions off-chain and submits a compressed proof back to the Ethereum mainnet. This approach allows developers to build scalable decentralized applications (dApps) that can handle high volumes of user activity without compromising decentralization or security.
Avara
Avara builds innovative products leveraging blockchain technologies. Avara’s suite includes the Aave app, unleashing the Aave Protocol and its native stablecoin GHO, Lens, an open social network, and Family, a design-first mobile crypto wallet. Avara’s vision is to build a people-powered internet that benefits all.

Ethena
Ethena is a decentralized finance protocol that issues USDe, a synthetic stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. Unlike traditional stablecoins backed by fiat reserves, USDe uses a delta-neutral strategy to maintain its peg. The protocol holds long positions in cryptocurrencies like ETH or liquid staking tokens, while simultaneously taking short positions in perpetual futures markets. This approach allows it to earn yield from the funding rate spread while remaining market neutral. Over time, Ethena has expanded its backing to include assets like BTC and stablecoins, enhancing liquidity and risk resilience.
Ether.Fi
ether.fi is a noncustodial, decentralized liquid staking protocol built on the Ethereum network. Users can deposit ETH or other liquid staking tokens and receive in return the protocol’s native token, eETH.
