The Pinknode team embraces Astronaut Capital as their lead investor and incubator. Astronaut Capital has brought its track records in project incubation to the table and will amplify success with its omnipresence within the Polkadot ecosystem.
“As the Polkadot ecosystem grows in complexity, an infrastructure service layer is needed to simplify variances and enhance connectivity within the ecosystem, easing Parachain communications with one another. Pinknode, “the Infura of Polkadot”, has created a novel architecture to reduce friction in endpoints, providing such services to projects, which in turn enhance the project’s efficiency,”
Lennard Neo, Investment Committee Member of Astronaut Capital.
“We are truly excited about the opportunity Pinknode has to offer and are proud to be part of this vision.”
Pinknode is on the mission to create leading network infrastructure and exceptional developer tools, empowering teams to build on and accelerate the growth of the most promising Web 3.0 protocol, Polkadot. Pinknode seeks to run nodes dedicated to the Polkadot protocol, providing depth and unparalleled user experience to developers with their enterprise-grade infrastructure and envisioned high throughput.
“ It is an understatement to say that Lennard is ‘one in a million’ kind of advisor. He’s patient, nurturing, insightful, strategic amongst many other qualities necessary as an incubator. The team have benefited a great deal from Astronaut Capital’s optimism and focus at an early stage. Needless to say, their long experience in the cryptocurrency space meant a broad but tight network and battle-tested advice which has helped us tremendously.”
Eric Poh, Co-founder at Pinknode
