FIXED SUPPLY backs the ambitious digital assets of tomorrow.

Every once in a while, a new technology comes along that changes everything. The internet defined the past few decades of innovation. We believe open-source digital assets will define the next few decades.

Our approach is flexible, long-term, and multi-stage. We often get involved at the earliest stages of formation and support our portfolio with additional capital over time.

We offer consultatory services across the domain of digital assets, with specialty in multi-generational, geographically-resilient custodial solutions.

We also partner with exceptional accredited investors who have an interest in exploring the digital frontier — get in touch to join our waitlist.

THESIS

We are venturing into the fourth chapter of the human story.

The first three chapters — hunter-gatherer societies, agricultural societies, and industrial societies — vastly transformed how humans interface with our world and with each other.

The fourth shift leads us to the digital society: the terraforming of human capability through software and networks.

In 1972, paleontologists Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould proposed the theory of punctuated equilibrium. Essentially, it states that evolution takes place in short, rapid bursts. Under this principle, species exist in a period of stasis for millions of years at a time. It is only when major events occur that change happens. And when it does happen, it’s dramatic.

There are many general-purpose technologies that have profoundly affected humanity: the written word, electricity, agriculture, steam power, precision clocks, iron metallurgy, and token currencies to name a few.

Two of these can be considered soft technology: money and writing.

Seemingly ephemeral in nature, soft technologies embody and adapt to many physical forms.

Money can be a gold token, a paper bill, or a number in a database, much the same way language can be encapsulated in a clay tablet, a paper book, or this website copy.

Software is the key new soft technology driving our digital chapter. But even with this dramatic change in how humans interact with our world, we had yet to discover the ultimate teleology of the database: a computer-empowered technology that stores, sorts, and filters information about our world.

In 2008, a researcher released a revolutionary paper demonstrating how to create a universal, canonical, open-source database that allows even sworn enemies to mutually agree upon a singular source of truth.

This is a seismic shift in the universe on the level of writing, money, and precision timekeeping — and in fact evolves each. This research introduced the field of digital assets.

Information has evolved, from clay to paper to digital — from individual siloes to corporate databases, and now towards a universal database.

We have deep conviction on the future of digital assets, and focus our efforts in scaling the open-source infrastructure towards a brighter tomorrow.
