# Hashed: Empowering networks and innovators to build a decentralized future

Hashed is a team of blockchain experts and builders based in Seoul, Singapore, Bengaluru, and Silicon Valley. We believe that decentralization can transform not only the global economy but the very fabric of the internet. Our mission is to accelerate the mass adoption of blockchain by investing our resources and empowering a new wave of entrepreneurs and innovators to create this future.

We approach this work as builders, not just pickers. We participate as core technical contributors to global infrastructure, and we’ve built a network of projects and people that connects industry pioneers with the knowledge and resources necessary to unlock the potential of blockchain.

We are pleased to announce that Hashed co-led the $15 million Series A funding round of Taiko Labs, a pioneering Ethereum-equivalent L2 led by the stellar founders Daniel Wang, Terence Lam. and Brecht Davos. Our investment underscores our unwavering confidence in Taiko Labs's vision to revolutionize Ethereum scaling while remaining true to its core principles.

Taiko’s Ethereum-equivalent ZK rollup, a decentralized L2 architecture, caught our attention for its commitment to security and permissionless operations. With a burgeoning community of over 850,000 active members on Discord, Taiko has created a dynamic ecosystem that resonates with the ethos of decentralization.

What sets Taiko apart is not just its financial milestones, but its hands-on approach to testing and development. Through 6 carefully executed testnets, Taiko has proven its mettle. The recent Katla testnet(https://lnkd.in/giF5FQ6r), which introduced the Based Contestable Rollup (BCR) design, marks a paradigm shift. This innovative architecture, featuring a contestable mechanism and based sequencing, lays the groundwork for Taiko's upcoming mainnet launch.

Looking ahead, Taiko envisions the Based Booster Rollup (BBR), a game changer that addresses liquidity fragmentation. This design allows developers to deploy on Ethereum and seamlessly scale across all L2 solutions.

Our investment is more than financial; it's a testament to our belief in Taiko's ability to redefine Ethereum scaling and elevate the entire blockchain ecosystem. We look forward to seeing Taiko's continued success, and are excited to contribute to the unfolding story of innovation.


Thrilled to share that we have participated in the $17M Series A round for Backpack, an all-star team of thought leaders and crypto expertise including the brilliant founders Armani Ferrante, Tristan Yver, Can Sun, and Tom Linton.

Backpack's diverse product suite, including the user-friendly non-custodial Backpack wallet, industry-leading Backpack Exchange, and the top NFT community Mad Lads, has recently garnered global attention.

This investment is underscored by Backpack's original strategy—cultivating a culture-based NFT community, seamlessly integrating xNFTs, and driving users organically to their wallet and exchange in a sequence. This innovative approach aligns perfectly with our ethos of supporting teams that redefine industry norms with the first principles.

We're thrilled to collaborate with Backpack, contributing our expertise and resources to fuel their journey towards mainstreaming global financial infrastructure. And we look forward to groundbreaking developments that will undoubtedly unfold as the Backpack ecosystem charts a course for new heights!

GM HODL Folks! ☀️

We're thrilled to announce the release of an enlightening report by HASHED OPEN RESEARCH (HOR) in collaboration with Hashed Open Dialogue for Law [HODL]!

📝 Titled "Emerging Conversation Surrounding DAOs in Asia," this report dives deep into the transformative potential of DAOs. Dr Yongbeom Kim, President of HOR, and Jin Kang, Head of Legal at Hashed, attended the prestigious conference in Tokyo earlier this February and returned with invaluable insights for us to collate and present to you!

🌐 The conference, hosted by The University of Tokyo, Stanford Cyber Policy Center, and Decentralization Research Center, convened experts, policymakers, and researchers to explore how DAOs can reshape economics, governance, and more.

💡 Our collaborative report distils key learnings and discussions while highlighting the importance of "continued education" in the evolving DAO landscape. Moreover, it emphasizes three recurring themes that emerged:

Firstly, the report advocates for expanding discussions within the blockchain industry beyond US securities law concerns to encompass broader topics such as the role of DAOs in societal movements and addressing global challenges. 🔍 Secondly, it highlights the importance of recognizing geopolitical differences and calls for enhanced cooperation among nations to leverage blockchain's borderless nature for universal challenges. 🤝  Lastly, the report emphasizes the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach to decentralization, combining insights from technology, law, economics, and social sciences to develop robust mechanisms aligned with democratic principles.🌏

Addressing climate change has become a global imperative, placing the carbon market at the forefront as an opportunity. 

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's warnings about the consequences of surpassing 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels have spurred nations into action, with ambitious emission reduction targets outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement. 

While carbon taxes and Emissions Trading Systems (ETSs) serve as primary mechanisms for emission reduction, they cover only a fraction of global emissions. 

Consequently, the private sector is increasingly turning to voluntary carbon markets, despite facing challenges related to credibility and verification.

In this evolving landscape, innovative solutions are emerging, such as the integration of blockchain, AI, and IoT to enhance transparency and reliability. 

One notable proposal, put forth by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in October 2022, involves tokenized bonds that integrate green bonds and carbon credits. 

For a deeper dive into these details, I invite you to explore HOR's comprehensive report 'Navigating the Carbon Market Opportunities:Blockchain Solutions for Carbon Market Challenges’.

“Backed by the integration of blockchain, AI, and IoT technologies, such a VCM End-to-End Framework would ensure that all processes are transparent, verifiable, and efficient.” — 46pg
