Ajna Capital Invests in SuperSol: Powering Solana's First Native Layer-2 to Drive Scalable On-Chain Growth
DUBAI, UAE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ajna Capital, a leading early-stage Web3 venture fund, has included SuperSol as part of its growing portfolio of next-generation blockchain investments. SuperSol, the first native Layer-2 solution purpose-built for the Solana blockchain, represents one of several strategic projects Ajna Capital is backing to drive scalable on-chain growth. This founding stake highlights Ajna Capital's conviction in Solana as a foundational asset class for the next generation of internet infrastructure — and its commitment to supporting projects that make Solana faster, more scalable, and more resilient. SuperSol addresses critical challenges in the Solana ecosystem — including network congestion and performance bottlenecks — by introducing a rollup-based architecture that improves throughput and lowers costs without fragmenting liquidity. Unlike traditional L2s, SuperSol is designed to be seamless for users and developers, ensuring that transactions ultimately settle back on Solana's base layer without requiring ecosystem migration. At the heart of SuperSol's innovation are its Evanescent Rollups, a demand-driven approach to high-speed execution on Solana. These rollups activate dynamically, processing transactions off-chain and submitting cryptographic proofs to Solana's mainnet only when necessary. This ensures instant transactions and scalability without overloading the base layer. By preventing wasted resources and reducing computational overhead, SuperSol ensures predictable transaction costs, allowing developers to build with confidence. Eva Oberholzer, CEO of SuperSol, brings a wealth of experience to the project. As the former Chief Growth Officer at both Cardano and Dfinity, she has been instrumental in scaling blockchain ecosystems. Eva co-founded SuperSol to scale Solana efficiently while preserving the speed, security, and efficiency that define it. "We're building the most robust Layer-2 for Solana — designed from the ground up for high-performance applications," said Eva Oberholzer. "With Ajna's backing, we're doubling down on our vision to deliver seamless scalability for gaming, DeFi, and beyond." Key Highlights of SuperSol: Solana-Native L2: SuperSol is the first Layer-2 rollup architecture designed specifically for Solana, optimized for high throughput and ultra-low latency. Evanescent Rollups: A demand-driven approach to high-speed execution, ensuring instant transactions and scalability without overloading the base layer. No Fragmentation: All SuperSol transactions eventually settle on Solana, maintaining composability and liquidity across the ecosystem. Built for High-Performance Apps: From DeFi to GameFi to DePIN, SuperSol's infrastructure enables real-time, scalable execution for demanding applications. Developer-Focused Execution: Offers customizable environments tailored to the needs of next-gen Solana builders. SuperSol is currently raising a strategic round to scale its team, expand validator infrastructure, and onboard its first wave of DeFi and gaming partners, alongside several other high-potential Web3 projects supported by Ajna Capital. "Being an early investor in Solana — SuperSol was a natural extension and a no-brainer," said Gourish Singla, Founding Managing Partner of Ajna Capital. "Their rollup-first approach is exactly what the network needs right now: scalability without compromise, composability without fragmentation. We're excited to support their mission to make Solana unstoppable." About Ajna CapitalAjna Capital is a Web3-native early-stage venture fund backing bold founders building core infrastructure and real-world blockchain applications.

Animoca Brands Plans U.S. Listing to Capture 'Unique Moment' of Trump Administration: FT
Animoca Brands, a Web3 investment company, is planning a public listing in New York, seeking to capture the "unique moment" offered by the Trump administration's approach to digital asset regulation, executive chairman Yat Siu told the Financial Times. An announcement on plans to list could be made soon, Yat Siu said in an interview, according to the Financial Times. Under former President Joe Biden, the U.S. crypto regulatory landscape was littered with lawsuits and enforcement actions against prominent crypto companies such as crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken. These have been dropped this year in a signal of the more friendly approach to the digital asset industry by the Trump administration. 'If the U.S. didn't do what they did with the regulators [under Biden], we probably would have competitors in the U.S.," Siu said. "It's a unique moment in time. I feel like it would be one heck of a wasted opportunity if we didn't at least try." The Hong Kong-based company has been a prominent investor in the Web3 industry for a number of years, having risen to prominence during the non-fungible token (NFT) boom of 2021. Its investments include blockchain game Axie Infinity, NFT marketplace OpenSea and Kraken. Kraken is itself considering selling shares to the public for the first time in the U.S. next year. Beyond investments in NFTs and GameFi projects, Animoca Brands' most recent financial report showed a pivot towards its advisory service, which covers token advisory, tokenomics, marketing, listing advisory, node operation and trading services. Animoca holds $293 million in cash and stablecoins, $538 million in digital assets, and $2.9 billion in off-balance-sheet token reserves on its balance sheet, according to its latest report. The company did not immediately respond to CoinDesk's request for further comment.
