Founded in 2014, the fund is led by Konstantin Lomashuk and Vasiliy Shapovalov. It has reportedly backed Ethereum, P2P.org, Lido DAO, Dfinity, Cosmos, as well as Solana, LazyLedger (Celestia), and other category-defining projects.

Meanwhile, the crypto market is witnessing a surge in interest in artificial intelligence (AI) tokens, with several digital assets experiencing a 500% growth in 2023. As crypto.news reported, the appeal of AI tokens in 2023 can be attributed to the rapid advancements in technologies and their integration into distributed ledgers, promising new solutions and investment opportunities.
