We are building the next-gen infrastructure to enable next-gen apps.
If you want to help define how workflows of onchain/offchain computation become easily programmable, you might be a fit for Fermah.
Fermah is backed by a16z CSX, Lemniscap, and other Tier-1 VCs.
Fermah has built a universal proof market that is currently live on Testnet.
The proof market connects two sides:
• Compute suppliers offering hardware, mostly GPUs. • Devs and protocols that need fast, reliable, and cost-efficient proof generation.
Fermah’s orchestration layer is to proof generation what Uber is to rides. It optimally matches proof requests to machines. In fact, the proof market works for any proof system and any chain – making it a universal proof market, proudly serving customers including ZKsync, Scroll, and Gateway, among others.
We are now expanding to build the next-gen infrastructure (in stealth). That means bringing net-new users to blockchain, enabling developers to build applications that finally reach their full potential (instead of a web3 facelift for an otherwise web2 product), and erasing the woes of today’s developers as they spend inordinate amounts of time stitching networks together rather than focusing on actual business logic.
If you want to be a part of a team that gets stuff done like it’s no one else’s business, we’d like to talk.
The a16z CSX fund and Lemniscap contributed to our seed round.
We also had participation from funds including Bankless Ventures, Longhash Ventures, P-OPS team, Public Works, ZK Validator, Lambda Class, Daedalus, Zero DAO, Velocity Capital, and Daemon Ventures.
Beyond funds, S-tier builders also angeled in this round. This includes Balaji, the former CTO of Coinbase and a16z GP; Mustafa and Nick, the CEO and COO of Celestia; Sandeep, Jaynti, and Daniel, the cofounders of Polygon; Zac and Claire, the CEO and CMO of Aztec; Sergey, the CEO of Axelar; Greg, the Cofounder of Geometry; and several others.
Fermah was founded by Dr. Vanishree Rao. She has been designing and building ZK for over 15 years and has a PhD in cryptography from UCLA.
We are building a world-class team that values delivering results with excellence and empathy.
We create an environment in which you can do the best work of your career.
