As more projects come online in Web3, many lack the funding and technical know-how to take them to the next level. To help take these projects from 0 to 60, Decent Labs announced today the launch of Decent DAO, a decentralized venture studio for development. It's raised $10 million in funding from Decent Labs, BlockTower Capital, Cumberland DRW, Digital Currency Group, GSR, 1kx, and others.
Launched in 2017 by Parker McCurley, Decent Labs aims to help decentralized finance (DeFi) development on Ethereum by building publicly accessible, open-source financial tools that are sophisticated enough for institutions. Decent Labs has worked on products including Portis, Rawrshak, BRD, and Sarcophagus.
As McCurley explains, Decent Labs' skillset offerings include brand design (conceptual, visual, and communicatory), product design (UI/UX and research), and software engineering using React web applications powered by Ethereum smart contracts—code that executes automatically when a set criteria is met.
McCurley told Decrypt Decent Labs first began fundraising last year with the intent to raise $7 million and scale-up. However, it initially saw little success and decided it would be more economical to bootstrap a few key projects in-house. "So three months in, we pivoted and went back to the most crypto-savvy funds, ones who have been in the space for years like BlockTower and 1kx who saw how fast we had evolved and were impressed enough to jump on board," McCurley says.
Former presidential candidate and NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Yang has launched Lobby3, a DC lobbying DAO. He talks to Dan Roberts and Jeff Roberts about his crypto journey, the potential of DAOs, and the need to blend a Web3 approach with "the old-fashioned way" to spur change in DC. Watch and make sure to subscribe to the gm podcast on Apple or Spotify.
That money won't be going to Decent Labs but to the new Decent DAO, which McCurley envisions as an incubator, venture studio, and open-source collective to connect inspired talent to investors who understand those who are building Web3.
"We're at the intersection of many radical changes in business as Web3 matures, and we need a DAO that brings together partners that are wholly invested in advancing autonomous and equitable access to opportunities in the world of crypto development," McCurley says.
Every six months, Decent DAO will choose new projects to be developed and be funded by the DAO, supported by Decent DAO's core contributors. Decent DAO says its core contributors are committed to redistributing the institutional knowledge gained from working with leaders in the cryptocurrency industry to support the future visionaries of Web3.
"Ultimately, the goal of our studio is to create on-chain technology robust enough for institutions and accessible to anyone with an internet connection that is 100% free, open, decentralized," McCurley added.
Since the early days of the internet, HTTP 402, a payment status code that showed "Payment Required," has existed as a placeholder in web protocols. It was a digital relic that once promised an internet with built-in payment capabilities but was never fully realized. Three decades later, crypto exchange Coinbase, through its Developer Platform, has brought it back to life with x402, a new, open-source protocol that creates a native payment layer for the web. "Imagine a future where crypto is the...
Ethereum has successfully activated the first phase of Pectra, its latest major upgrade since Dencun in March last year, going live at 6:05am ET in New York on Wednesday. Following the hard fork itself, developers faced a nail-biting wait to see if the network had achieved finality, which took place at 6:18am ET. The Pectra hardfork has finalized on #Ethereum!

A new layer-1 blockchain focused on privacy and mining accessibility is now live with the launch of Tari mainnet. Led by a group of former Monero developers, Tari’s mainnet follows the network’s testnet launch in September 2024, placing it in a crowded field of layer-1 networks that includes heavyweights like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. But the developers see Tari differently than the pack. “Our hot take: Existing chains are missing key ingredients needed for them to succeed in becoming the...
