As we close out 2025, we’re taking a moment to reflect on a year defined by resilience, recalibration, and quiet strength across the Web3 ecosystem. The builders we’ve backed through Fund I continued to push boundaries: launching products, shipping updates, and proving that conviction and creativity to endure through every market cycle.
Looking ahead to 2026, we’re filled with optimism. The next chapter for MH Ventures begins with Fund II and a renewed commitment to backing founders who turn vision into momentum.
To our portfolio teams, partners, and supporters...thank you for being part of this journey.
Wishing you all a healthy, inspired, and prosperous start to the new year ahead!
Tria is a new kind of global banking app that lets you hold and spend digital dollars like normal money, with an interface that feels as simple as Revolut or Wise. You can tap and pay with a Visa card in 150+ countries, send money instantly across borders, and earn yield on your balance, while still staying in control of your funds instead of leaving everything on an exchange.
Tria is already proving there is real demand at scale: over 50,000 people worldwide have moved $20 million through Tria in just 90 days of beta, including $1.12 million in a single day. That early traction is why Tria is positioning itself as one of the fastest‑growing crypto‑powered neobanks, turning stablecoins and even meme coins from something you hold into something you can actually use every day.

RareBet Sports is a new kind of sports prediction and fantasy platform that lets fans pick how real players will perform and take positions on games using crypto and stablecoins. Think of it like fast‑paced fantasy sports: instead of managing a team for an entire season, you make simple picks for one day or one set of matches and see the results the same night.
For sports fans who already enjoy “speculative entertainment,” RareBet Sports adds features legacy apps struggle to offer: global access, deposits that can earn yield from platform activity, and rewards paid in crypto, all handled by transparent on-chain smart contracts. With features like its RareLink slips and RBS Oracle data feeds, it is building a Web3-native fantasy sports hub designed for the next generation of sports and crypto fans.

XMAQUINA is a decentralized investment DAO that allows everyday people to invest in and collectively co-own leading robotics companies. This year, the XMAQUINA DAO has invested $3.6M into leading robotics companies, including 1X Technologies, Apptronik, Figure AI Robotics, and Agility Robotics. These strategic allocations have positioned XMAQUINA at the forefront of the robotics revolution, giving community members direct exposure to some of the most innovative and high-growth humanoid robotics ventures worldwide.
The most recent $DEUS auction saw over $3 million contributed in under 20 minutes by more than 1,600 contributors, highlighting strong community demand for early access to the Humanoid Age through XMAQUINA.

Keira sat down with Austin Federa, Co-Founder of DoubleZero, to record an episode of the DealFlow podcast, during which they talked about building a network to enable faster and cheaper AI.
Below is a short Q&A with Austin:
Who are you, and what’s the story behind your project?
I’m Austin Federa, co-founder of DoubleZero. I was previously Head of Strategy at Solana Foundation and prior to that, was at Bison Trails/Coinbase Cloud. DoubleZero grew out of a simple realization: modern blockchains are fast, but they’re still running on the public internet, which isn’t designed for optimal performance. Meanwhile, the largest tech companies and trading firms have used private fiber for decades to maintain performance at scale.
We’re building a dedicated, high-performance network for distributed systems, starting with crypto, so blockchains can have access to the same quality of infrastructure as TradFi and reach their full potential to impact billions of people.
What problem in crypto frustrates you the most, and how are you fixing it?
To me, the ambition of crypto is still far too small. While the space’s growth to date has been impactful, we are nowhere close to the bigger vision of impacting billions of people with new products and services built on crypto rails.
Solana has this phrase “Internet Capital Markets” which highlights the need for the industry to replace and improve upon existing financial systems for the benefit of all. DoubleZero is the “Internet” in Internet Capital Markets. The protocol enables independent contributors to add bandwidth from their own fiber optic links, creating a worldwide high performance network that blockchain nodes can use as an alternative to the public internet.
Currently, DoubleZero only supports Solana, but will add additional chains in the near future. DoubleZero also has over 70 links added by 10 different contributors, with 5 more contributors expected to join in the coming months. The DoubleZero Performance Dashboard is the best place to understand the growth of the network so far.
If I only hold BTC or ETH, why should I even care about what you’re building?
Even if you never leave BTC and ETH, your coins trade in a broader crypto market that increasingly relies on on-chain liquidity and price discovery. Better infrastructure means tighter spreads, fairer markets, and more sophisticated products that can attract serious capital into crypto as an asset class.
In short: if the rails under crypto get faster and more reliable, it’s good for the whole ecosystem, including BTC and ETH holders.
What makes your approach different from all the noise in crypto right now?
We’re not launching another L1 or a shiny consumer app -we’re upgrading the physical pipes that underpin the entire space. DoubleZero coordinates real fiber in the ground, contributed by multiple independent contributors, into a network that is faster and more consistent than the public internet.
It’s truly low-level infrastructure that’s invisible to most, but is incredibly important for the growth of the industry in the years to come.
What’s next… what should I be watching for in the next 6 months?
Our primary focus right now is the Solana validator ecosystem and continuing to prove our value to the Solana nodes. We already have 40% of Solana stake connected to DoubleZero, and we would love to continue to grow that number so that we make an even bigger impact in Solana's speed and reliability.
More broadly, DoubleZero will soon support both additional technologies that make data transmission over the network better, such as multicast and edge filtration, as well as additional networks beyond Solana. Ultimately, we want to bring high-performance networking to the distributed systems of today and tomorrow in a decentralized, permissionless way. So we're really excited about what the next year will hold.
Dealflow dives into the stories behind the builders shaping the future of tech and AI. Each episode uncovers how founders are turning bold ideas into real products and culture-defining tech. No hype, no jargon, just raw insights from the people building tomorrow’s technology.
Decaf: A digital wallet that lets people store stablecoins, send money globally, and spend it in everyday life with a Visa card, without needing a traditional bank.
Optimum: Building a new “memory layer” for Web3 that makes moving and storing data across blockchains faster, more reliable, and easier to scale using advanced coding math.
Theo Network: A crypto trading platform that lets people buy and sell on‑chain versions of traditional financial assets like gold and treasury bills with only $1.
RISE: A high‑performance Ethereum layer‑2 chain built to host a fully on‑chain, orderbook‑based perps DEX, so traders get CEX‑level speed and UX while staying inside the EVM DeFi ecosystem

Most people think the biggest technology shifts happen on screens, but the next one is unfolding in the physical world.
Behind the scenes, new systems are transforming how energy, data, transportation, and machines are built and coordinated.
This article below explores what’s driving that shift, how it works in simple terms, and why it may shape how everyday infrastructure functions in the years ahead.
Discover how DePIN is powering the new industrial stack, from robotics to satellites, using crypto to coordinate real-world infrastructure at scale.
MH Ventures is an early-stage venture firm investing in frontier Web3 technologies, digital assets, and the builders shaping the decentralized economy. Through Fund I, we’ve partnered with founders redefining infrastructure, DeFi, and digital coordination. As we prepare to launch Fund II, our focus remains the same, back conviction, utility, and long-term value creation.
