S16 Research Ventures is a Web3 fund and validator. Since 2016, our mission has remained consistent: to build and fund Web3 infrastructure and technologies, driving toward a more transparent and inclusive global financial system.

We envision a multi-chain future -- a scalable number of blockchain networks communicating around the world. The tools and layers necessary are available today and innovation continues to develop at remarkable speeds.

We are a team of crypto builders focused on creating products that solve real problems in the space. Today, our work centres on privacy payments, treasury tools, and delivering reliable, scalable products that make blockchain technology more accessible and impactful.

In addition, the firm contributes to the research of innovative protocols and solutions, with a focus on improving cross-chain communication, interoperability, and on-chain user experience. Our goal is to push practical innovation forward while collaborating closely with ecosystems and developer communities.
