🥇Crypto VC Tier List for 2026
• S: @a16zcrypto
• A: @cbventures
• B: @paradigm, @ARKInvest, @galaxyhq, @sequoia, @dragonfly_xyz
📌 The ranking is based on funds’ presence in this year’s crypto funding market: access to major rounds, deal activity, and lead participation. Overall Retail ROI is used as a secondary track record metric.
The Vast Control Unit (VCU), our flight computer, is ready for testing in the semi-anechoic chamber at Vast HQ. These tests will confirm the VCU won't cause electromagnetic interference with other systems on Haven-1, scheduled to be the world’s first commercial space station.
