Electric Capital will continue to invest between $1 million and $20 million in equity and tokens in the following areas:

- Decentralized Web3 infrastructure that allows engineers to build the next generation of applications without a central point of failure or control.
- Decentralized Finance that democratizes access to financial products.
- Accessible user experiences that onboard millions of users to Web3.
“We have spent the last four years building software and data systems that enable us to participate in Web3 ecosystems. We use the infrastructure we have built to provide liquidity, run validators, help teams better understand their ecosystems with our novel data, and more. We look forward to continuing to push the frontier of how investors and protocols can create value together,” said cofounder Curtis Spencer.
