Investing in Neon Labs

BRIDGING ETHEREUM AND SOLANA ECOSYSTEMS

The blockchain space is evolving with multiple ecosystems vying for dominance. Ethereum's well-established ecosystem faces scalability challenges, while Solana offers high throughput and efficiency. However, the lack of interoperability between these two giants creates friction for developers and users alike. Neon EVM addresses this critical gap by enabling seamless interaction between the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solana, combining the strengths of both ecosystems.

WHY WE INVESTED IN NEON EVM

Neon EVM is pioneering the integration of Ethereum’s EVM into the Solana ecosystem, allowing developers to deploy Ethereum decentralized applications (dApps) on Solana without altering their existing codebase. This innovation provides the scalability and low transaction costs of Solana while maintaining compatibility with Ethereum’s tools and infrastructure.

Neon EVM leverages Solana's parallel processing capabilities, achieving over 2,000 transactions per second with a block time of 400 milliseconds. This performance, combined with the low fees characteristic of Solana, makes Neon EVM a compelling platform for developers looking to scale their dApps without compromising on speed or cost.

The market for cross-chain interoperability is expanding rapidly, with demand driven by the need for more efficient and scalable solutions in decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and other Web3 applications. Neon EVM’s unique position as a bridge between Ethereum and Solana places it at the forefront of this trend, making it an attractive investment opportunity.

Neon EVM is backed by a strong team with deep expertise in blockchain technology. The leadership includes Marina Guryeva, CEO, who previously served as a director at cyberFund, and Konstantin Goldstein, COO, who was Microsoft’s Chief Technology Evangelist. Their combined experience and vision are instrumental in driving Neon EVM’s mission forward.

Key Team Members: 

• Marina Guryeva – CEO
  Marina’s leadership in the blockchain space, coupled with her strategic vision, has been pivotal in steering Neon EVM’s growth and innovation.

• Andrew Falaleev – CTO
  Andrew’s technical expertise, particularly in blockchain infrastructure, has been crucial in the implementation and optimization of Neon EVM’s technology stack.

• Konstantin Goldstein – COO
  Konstantin’s background at Microsoft and his role as a technology evangelist bring valuable insights into the development and scaling of Neon EVM.

Neon EVM has raised $40m in a a funding round, primarily for token sale, from leading investors, Jump Capital and Three Arrows Capital, reflecting strong confidence in its potential to revolutionize blockchain interoperability. The raised funds will further accelerate Neon EVM’s development and expansion.

We are excited to support Neon EVM as they bridge two of the most influential ecosystems in the blockchain world, offering a scalable, efficient, and developer-friendly platform that could reshape the future of decentralized applications.
