Crafts

Excited to announce the first company raising on Crafts: @refihub RefiHub brings real upside in real-world energy. Built on the Stakeholder Token Standard (STS) on @solana

Fantastic to witness the hard work @buildcoldstar, @opsonchain and @craftsdev are putting in, shipping to the max 🦾 At @MonkeFoundry x @Solana Demo Day in Miami 🇺🇸 @SuperteamUSA

MetaDAO validates the thesis, but our approach is different. They’re built for full-company / DAO-native ownership. Crafts is partial tokenization: existing private companies can tokenize a minority equity-linked stake, stay VC-compatible, and give holders liquid exposure with defined protections. It’s not us vs MetaDAO, it’s about bringing fresh liquidity into ICM and closing the gap with TradFi fundraising.

@pfo_sac @HoudiniSwap @solstrategies @craftsdev MetaDAO already built what you are trying to build and it works fine

So @HoudiniSwap has been acquired by @solstrategies for 18M USD. But guess what token holders received? Exactly, $LOCK holders got $0. Houdini quietly abandoned the token a few weeks back. With @craftsdev, we are building the structure so token holders actually participate in exit cases.

@Miner3210 @pfo_sac @HoudiniSwap @solstrategies we focus on partial tokenisation and bring venture-grade structure on-chain with equity-backed tokens and make it accesible for everyone.

@pfo_sac @HoudiniSwap @solstrategies @craftsdev Is craftsdev any different than metadao

@ceterispar1bus @solstrategies @HoudiniSwap coming in with the standard for token value accrual

another day, another straight up token rug by @solstrategies and @HoudiniSwap we really need to fix this shit man

3 DAYS TO GO 📣 On May 4th, 18 teams will take the stage for MonkeFoundry Demo Day in Miami. A new wave of builders is emerging across consumer, finance, and infrastructure. Focused teams, clear direction, and products designed for real users. We’re proud to present the lineup: @Tessera_PE A permissionless platform that tokenizes private equities, enabling anyone to trade pre-IPO exposure to leading private companies with instant settlement, 24/7 liquidity, and no KYC requirements. @Axis_pizza Axis makes narratives tradable. @_lumeapp The Robinhood of emerging markets for onchain real-world assets. @benchdotmarkets Opportunity markets built on Arcium. @ZyntaFinance Last mile regulated African stablecoin infrastructure. @Kormos_fi The distribution layer for real-world assets on Solana. @useDiversiFi Building the portfolio management layer on Solana, embedding multiple positions into a single programmable and composable SPL token. @cacao_cash A digital wallet for tourists and digital nomads in Latam, enabling USD or EUR deposits and local spending via QR codes, bank transfers, and ATM withdrawals. @playtokendraft Prediction drafts for digital assets. @buildcoldstar A dApp and CLI program that turns any USB drive into a hardware wallet. @otus_finance A consumer investing app starting with automated stablecoin yield and expanding into a full suite of onchain investment products. @craftsdev A capital formation layer between venture and crypto, where founders tokenize equity and investors access liquid exposure through sealed-bid auctions tied to real company upside. @SP3NDdotshop Shop Amazon and more with stablecoins. No KYC. Fully compliant. @SnoozUp_app The incentive layer for human behavior. @JettyFi Decentralized interest rate swaps on Solana. @nightowlai_ The AI agent labor market where humans own the intelligence. @opsonchain The execution layer of Solana, powering the next wave of institutional trading. @met_engine Trading tools that operate directly within your workflows. We’re equally focused on the room. A curated group of founders, operators, and investors coming together during Accelerate week. Built for signal, not scale. Thank you to our partners and supporters for making this possible: @solana @MonkeDAO @MonkeVentures - MonkeNova @MeteoraEco @SuperteamUSA Miami. May 4th.

@01Resolved 🤝

@craftsdev We very much look forward to tracking the progression!

Great research covering the latest developments across the ownership space. The biggest challenge we need to solve collectively is attracting fresh capital into ownership vehicles by creating frameworks that deliver venture-grade protections to everyone. That means building robust systems that work for early-stage companies, later-stage companies with existing private market demand, and a wide range of use cases in between. Creating a flexible yet rock-solid structure is the core goal of Crafts. After hundreds of conversations with VCs, liquid funds, syndicates, LPs, angels, and institutional capital allocators, we are aiming for nothing less than setting the standard for how retail investors access private markets. The result is our Stakeholder Token Standard, designed by former Solana General Counsel @ryonnixon V2 will be released very soon. Craft Mode.

@kantianum @Arcium great write-up! 🤙

One of the hardest questions in crypto is ownership. @craftsdev, part of @Arcium ecosystem, is building the Stakeholder Token Standard (STS) around a specific onchain capital formation challenge: - retail wants exposure to real startup upside. - Founders need clean cap tables. - Companies need a structure that works across legal, fundraising, and exit processes. - And tokens still need to make sense in open markets. STS is built around these constraints. Here’s how it works: (that’s my understanding based on the docs) ➝ STS doesn’t try to make the token itself a share of the company. The company still operates like a normal startup. Founders run the business, hire the team, own the roadmap, and can still raise from angels or VCs. ➝ Next to the company, STS adds a separate legal vehicle: a DAO LLC / SPV. This SPV holds a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity), giving token holders venture-grade protections typically reserved for private investors. ➝ The SPV becomes the clean interface between the startup and token holders. Instead of having thousands of token holders sitting directly around the company, the startup only deals with one legal counterparty. That keeps the cap table readable for founders, investors, and future buyers. ➝ The token sits above the SPV, not above the startup directly. It doesn’t give direct ownership in the company. It gives governance over the legal vehicle that holds the claim. Token holders decide how the SPV behaves: how funding moves, how treasury gets used, how major legal decisions are handled, and what happens around an exit. ➝ Founders don’t lose operating control. The DAO doesn’t run the company day to day. The company still has its own team, roadmap, strategy, and execution. ➝ The DAO acts like a programmable investor through a Constitutional Governance Framework. It can influence funding, treasury usage, legal decisions, and exit handling, but it doesn’t become the operator of the business. ➝ A DAO operator turns token holder votes into real-world execution. Token holders vote on-chain. Then the DAO operator executes the SPV’s decisions in the real world: signing documents, exercising the SPV’s rights, or implementing approved changes. ➝ The token supply starts inside a vault contract. Allocations, vesting, cliffs, and unlock conditions are visible and enforced on-chain. So the market doesn’t need to trust private spreadsheets or vague tokenomics promises. ➝ The raise can also use more transparent allocation rules. STS can balance capital committed, wallet history, and social activity instead of making the whole thing a pure whale game. ➝ Funds don’t go straight to the company all at once. Participants fund the DAO treasury. Then the startup receives capital over time through a monthly allowance. ➝ If the company has an exit, the SPV has to be dealt with through the rights it holds. Proceeds or assets flow back to the DAO treasury. Token holders then decide how to use that value: buybacks, ecosystem growth, reinvestment, reserves, or other approved uses. ➝ The token doesn’t create automatic dividends or direct equity rights. But it gives governance over the entity that owns the economic claim.

@Arcium @SolanaEvents legends

The Arcium team will be at Solana Accelerate in Miami. Come meet the team ↓

For the first time fair price discovery is coming to Solana soon. Raise Zero brings sealed-bid pricing to a mock experience anyone can try. Strong communities get special perks. Who should we include?

@Rockaway_X @multisig @SimkinStepan @deni_ersht one of the best teams to do it!

Congratulations to our portfolio company @multisig for its fundraise. We backed @SimkinStepan & @deni_ersht from the early days. Since then, they have shown up as true leaders in the Solana DeFi ecosystem, even mentoring other founders during their journey. They prioritize the right opportunities and swear off distractions and fads, staying focused on shipping smart, solid products (see Multisig > Fuse > Fuse card > API / “Grid” > Altitude!) that add real value to users. Securing $10bn in assets is a major achievement. Next up, accelerating growth as Solana’s stablecoin banking layer.
