Modular infra teams worth backing: Union, Boundless, Fluent, Caldera, Anoma
Quote81 words
After criticizing extractive modular launches, names teams the author thinks will last because of top tier tech and genuine care for communities: Union, Boundless, Fluent, Caldera, Anoma, Succinct, with MegaETH added.
Is all hope for the "modular" infra narrative lost?
No, definitely not.
I truly believe that these teams will save us:
- @union_build (trust-, and permissionless ZK interop)
- @boundlesshq (ZK proving marketplace)
- @fluentxyz (blended execution L2 on Ethereum)
- @Calderaxyz (RaaS + composable rollup ecosystem)
- @anoma (intent-centric Web3 OS)
- @SuccinctLabs (ZK proving layer)
They all build top tier tech and seem to ACTUALLY care about their ecosystems + communities.
Adding @megaeth, clearly a winner too
What else?
