Paradigm Third Fund Hits $850 Million

Wrote in the announcement

According to Paradigm, more and more engagement by people with crypto and developments in frontier research, it sees an opportunity for new infrastructure for consumer applications to be enabled.

Paradigm’s Contribution to Crypto Landscape

Despite that, Paradigm has made some very important contributions to how the crypto landscape has been shaped. It was an early investor in the first outer projects like Uniswap-an innovator in AMMs for decentralized exchange through its employment of smart contracts.

Other projects like Optimism and Flashbots hanged upon paradigms’ early-stage investment and introduced some cool, novel models of blockchain scaling and mining.
