Base layers and scaling
Execution environments, rollups, data availability and the tooling developers need to ship on them.
EFN Evergreen backs founders building open networks. No fund clock and no forced exits. We can hold a position through a bear market, a halving and the next one after that.
Crypto markets move on roughly four-year cycles around the Bitcoin halving. A closed-end fund has to return capital on a calendar, whatever the market is doing that year. Our permanent capital base lets us size exits to the protocol's progress instead.
Four areas where we think durable value accrues on-chain. We look for teams with a long build horizon, credible token design and a reason to exist beyond the current narrative.
Execution environments, rollups, data availability and the tooling developers need to ship on them.
Exchanges, lending, derivatives and the risk and oracle layers underneath them.
Issuance, on- and off-ramps and cross-border settlement, with a focus on Korea and wider Asia.
Wallets, identity, games and social products that bring the next set of users on-chain.
No distribution deadline means we never push a team to sell tokens or exit early to hit a fund date.
We stake, vote in governance and run infrastructure where it helps the networks we back.
Introductions to Korean and Asian exchanges, market makers, partners and local communities.
Early-stage positions across AI, DePIN and the base layers underneath them.
