1/ We’re thrilled to announce that August has raised a $10M Series A to continue bringing institutions on-chain 🎉
The round was led by @dragonflyvc with participation from @6thManVentures, @robotventures, @ForesightVen, SCB Ltd, @Maven11Capital, @fintech_io and several high profile angels.

2/ With over $7B in monthly volume and $400M in loans originated last year, August provides institutions, protocols, and OTC desks with a comprehensive suite of on-chain financial tools including: smart contract accounts, trade execution algos, borrowing/lending, options and structured products, tri-party collateral management, cross-margining and cross-chain DeFi strategies.
3/ Despite five years of innovation, DeFi is still out of touch with the institutional experience. Collateral is isolated per chain with no cross margining between CeFi and DeFi positions. August’s infrastructure enables portfolio margining across all crypto markets, both cross-chain and off-chain.
Institutions can LP into a Uniswap pool on Base, while using this position as collateral to tap into CeFi liquidity directly to hedge the impermanent loss, borrow stables on Arbitrum to trade on Hyperliquid, or write OTC options to generate yield.
4/ Putting on a multi-step position on-chain still takes institutions in the order of hours between approvals and multi-sigs. August abstracts this complexity away and makes it 1-click, with automated post-trade monitoring.
5/ With over $200B in stablecoin market cap, and companies filing to bring equities on-chain - it's only a matter of time before the $30T equities market & $18T OTC derivatives market also get tokenized. August is best positioned to facilitate that wave in the most capital efficient manner.
We're excited to continue scaling towards a future that is chain-abstracted, portfolio-margined and 1-click.
Onwards 🚀

Welcoming back Multicoin, Arthur Hayes, and others to our cap table.
Four years ago, @davidfucius , @_snaerr , and I set out to build the best derivatives platform on Solana, @01_exchange. We believed in fully on-chain, high-performance trading. What we didn't anticipate was how much the world—and this industry—would change.
We built through Solana's darkest days. Network outages. Market collapses. Luna, 3AC, FTX. Each crisis made one thing clear: better uptime wasn't enough. Decentralized execution, as it existed, couldn't compete with centralized exchanges. If we were serious about bringing real finance on-chain—not just speculation, not just collectibles—we needed more than marginal improvements. We needed a fundamental shift. That's why we started N1.
Then, FTX imploded. Our term sheet disappeared overnight. Our funds—gone. It should have been the end. Instead, we pushed forward. Kept building. And through it all, our investors stayed. They believed in the vision, in us, in what we were creating. Today, they're back on the journey with us.
There's a narrative that VCs don't matter. That they're just dead weight. The truth? The wrong ones are. The right ones—like the ones we've chosen—are mission-critical. They aren't just capital; they're conviction. They bet on teams, on ideas, on the future before it's obvious. And when everything falls apart, they're the ones who stay. That's why we're proud to have them back.
And most importantly—our 01 users. The ones who kept trading through the chaos, through Solana breaking, through a network that became nearly unusable. They never left. We won't forget that. More on that soon.
N1. Mainnet. Soon.
