Earlier today, Bloomberg reported that Optiver, one of the leading trading firms in the world, as well as a large university endowment fund have become strategic shareholders in Eden Block. We're honored to welcome these partners into Eden Block as we continue to aggressively scale our platform. Eden Block is built on the belief that the most important systems of the next decade will emerge at the intersection of markets, software, and intelligence. This evolving amalgam of infrastructure will enable endless applications. This view has not always been obvious. For a long time, much of what sits at this intersection felt early, fragmented, and difficult to categorize. Underlying teams, and the solutions they are working on did not fit neatly into any clear buckets that investors could easily underwrite. The infrastructure was incomplete, the applications immature and unclear. The demand signals were weak or indirect. In many cases, the most important work was happening below the level of visibility or interpretability that markets typically reward. Over time, this direction has become more clear. Markets are becoming increasingly permissionless and programmable, and intelligent software, powered by compute, sits at the heart of their coordination and execution. Machine intelligence, once detached from broader economic activity, has become the beating heart of innovation, and the driver of most, if not all future inventions. Therefore, scaling and accelerating the capabilities of machine intelligence has become one of humanity's biggest missions. This expansion will occur across all layers of the stack: the infrastructure, the intelligence itself, and the applications it powers. We've long held the belief that we've entered a point of no return, a point where all aspects of the world's dynamics converge on a free, permissionless market for innovation and advancement. In this market, technology loses all semblance of gravity. To put it simply, there's never been a better time in history to build things. With the support of our new partners, we're doubling down on our mission to back the builders of the new internet. We meet relentless founders at the frontier, and build alongside them. With AI disrupting or empowering every single industry in the world, markets in particular are experiencing a dramatic shift. We're excited to bring the combined platforms of Eden Block and Optiver to accelerate the teams who are shaping the markets and technologies of tomorrow. We're confident that our combined efforts will foster new experimentation, and enable the dramatic shifts we're expecting to see across markets. We're excited to reinforce our commitment to our founders, our conviction in Eden Block's mission, and the ecosystem we're building. We look forward to meeting you in the arena. Founders: we're deploying.
