We believe in the democratization of ownership through decentralized technologies. At RIS3 Labs, we create, fund, support, and grow impact-generating ideas that are making this possible through DeFi, Blockchain, and AI.
We work with the best founders to promote world-changing projects that will shape the future of ownership through technology.
Our main focus is on DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs running on Ethereum (including L2s) or Solana ecosystems.
Projects participating in the creation of products and services on blockchain ecosystem and smart contracts empowering open, peer-to-peer, and automated finance through emerging technologies. DeFi creates the opportunity for anyone to be able to grant and receive financial activities while being owners of their assets.
The creation of digital assets as Non-Fungible Tokens provides a value beyond the art itself. Projects based on membership programs using blockchain technology that verify ownerships giving access to exclusive benefits.
Encourage the formation of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations built on a digital jurisdiction that are self-enforced, have a distributed governance system, and perform as a “managerless” where a token represents ownership and voice to the organization.
The market capitalization of DAO tokens was $21B in January 2022.
We are constantly seeking ideas that will accelerate the transition to democratized ownership on a decentralized-driven vision and passion for technology focused on a strong community network.
