STRATEGY

Alphemy Capital invests in blockchain protocols and projects that we believe will be the most important contributors to the decentralized internet of the future, Web 3.0. We invest in blockchain technologies that have the potential to restructure and decentralize the current internet, allowing for the creation, transfer, and distribution of economic value on a peer-to-peer basis. This contributes to an internet where users have control over their own data, identity, and future.

Our investment strategy is based on four pillars

  • A focus on fundamental technologies that comprise the State layer of the Web 3.0 stack and on infrastructure projects built on top of it.
  • Proprietary research methodology to quantify and assess the key metrics behind the success of blockchain projects to select those with the highest potential.
  • Systemic approach to portfolio management to optimize returns while managing downside risks.
  • Active involvement in the Web 3.0 ecosystem as validators on blockchains, as early supporters of projects and as collaborative partners to industry actors.
