Why Axiom Ventures
Verifiable Due Diligence
Every investment claim is verified on-chain. Revenue isn't self-reported — it's confirmed by summing USDC transfers on Basescan. User counts are unique addresses, not projections.
Transparent Operations
All fund activities happen on-chain through a Safe multi-sig (2/3). Every allocation, fee collection, and capital release is publicly auditable. No black boxes.
ERC-8004 Agent Identity
Portfolio companies register on-chain through the ERC-8004 Trustless Agents standard. Identity, reputation, and validation — all composable and trustless.
Milestone-Gated Capital
Capital isn't released all at once. Escrow contracts unlock tranches when founders hit verifiable on-chain milestones. Accountability is enforced by code.
24/7 Portfolio Monitoring
Sentinel tracks every portfolio position around the clock. Revenue dips, security anomalies, and milestone progress are flagged in real-time.
x402 Payment Rails
Built on Coinbase's x402 payment protocol. LP deposits, DD report access, and pitch submissions all flow through standardized HTTP-native micropayments.
