Our mission of providing Quantitative Systematic Alpha Generation of Web3 protocols will help corporations and institutions effectively manage risk in the nascent and volatile blockchain ecosystem.

Joseph Lubin, founder and CEO of ConsenSys remarked, "As a foundational member of ConsenSys Solutions, Andrew was a key driver in opening up the Ethereum ecosystem to enterprise. As a member of the Ethereum community, Andrew has been a friend to many and a unifying force and voice in many situations.
