Arcanum Ventures is Supporting AppLayer

Blockchain and web3 have seen consistently growing interest from many different industries. Traditional finance, transportation, healthcare, big data, supply chains, and more are all turning to blockchain technology to improve specific aspects of their businesses.

As blockchain adoption accelerates across a wide range of sectors, demand is rising for infrastructure that can deliver true scalability, speed, and interoperability. That’s why Arcanum Ventures is proud to support AppLayer, a next-generation blockchain platform engineered to meet these needs.

 

What is AppLayer?

AppLayer is building modular blockchain infrastructure to support application interoperability across different blockchain networks. The infrastructure uses an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) execution layer that allows the deployment of cross-chain applications using a single account and shared state. 

The protocol delivers over 400,000 transactions per second (tps) throughput and rapid smart contract execution. This makes the architecture suitable for applications requiring instant transaction settlement and the ability to scale. At the heart of AppLayer’s innovation is the integration of C++ stateful pre-compiles – hard-coded and upgradable on-chain code that is embedded directly into the blockchain client itself. This allows the execution of smart contract logic to be performed more than 65x faster than other EVM chains.

Additionally, AppLayer’s Blockchain Development Kit (BDK) supports developers with modular tools to build and customize their own “Application Layer.” The company’s vision is to achieve true blockchain scalability with enterprise-level reliability by enabling partners and builders everywhere.

 

AppLayer’s Mission

AppLayer’s infrastructure enables more sophisticated programs to live fully on-chain. The technology can power an entirely new generation of on-chain gaming, high-frequency trading platforms, and centralized exchanges using smart contract order book models that can scale up with platform activity.

Their tech suite and network cater to a growing need for non-web3 businesses integrating blockchain infrastructure. Companies using web3 technology for improved transaction finality, greater data-tracking capabilities, and custom user access can directly benefit from AppLayer’s offerings.

 

Arcanum Ventures Advisory Support

Arcanum Ventures believes the “blockchain” or “web3” does not refer to a specific industry, but a transformative, supplemental technology. This tech will enable improvements across different industries such as e-commerce, finance, logistics, agriculture, transportation, and many more. 

Many premier blockchains have launched, claiming to have high throughput and stability, yet most struggle to attract builders and find traditional enterprise clients willing and ready to adopt blockchain technology to transform their business practices.

AppLayer is purpose-built for high-throughput, instant-finality use cases, making it an ideal foundation for on-chain gaming, payments, and digital asset transfers. We believe the AppLayer team is creating a solution tailored for the evolving needs of the Web3 ecosystem, and Arcanum Ventures is proud to support them through several key initiatives:

  • Business Development: Arcanum Ventures is actively leveraging its network of partners, agencies, and organizations to help expand AppLayer’s ecosystem. Our outreach focus is on bringing infrastructure providers and blockchain builders into AppLayer network to benefit from their rapid transaction speed and instant settlement.
  • Fundraising and Investor Relations: Arcanum Ventures is diligently working with AppLayer to refine the company’s investment documentation, proposal, and outreach program. The advisory firm will facilitate introductions to investors interested in the modular blockchain network catering to the growing popularity of purpose-driven application chains.
  • Strategic Advisory: The advisory firm will be supporting the company in various other business focus areas that fall within the firm’s expertise. This will include guidance on token economics and protocol design, collaborative marketing strategies, promotional programs for community growth and engagement, and more.

 

Michael Weinrub, Co-founder and CEO of AppLayer, had this to say about the partnership…

“We chose to partner with Arcanum Ventures because of their proven experience in building authentic brands tailored for real-world industries. Unlike many firms in Web3, Arcanum genuinely focuses on organic growth and meaningful community engagement. From our first interactions, it was clear their network embodies the true ideals of Web3—commitment, sustainability, and integrity, rather than the typical pump-and-dump culture. We’re excited to grow alongside a partner who shares our vision for the long-term future of blockchain.”

 

Carmelo Giuliano, Founding Partner of Arcanum Ventures, is quoted as saying…

“At Arcanum Ventures, we see blockchain as inevitable. Every business will integrate it and those that don’t will fall behind just like companies that ignored the Internet. We backed AppLayer because they are not just building scalable blockchain infrastructure, they are tackling real-world problems and targeting enterprise adoption at scale. They are not here to be another empty chain. They are here to set a new standard.
