PRIOR TEAM EXPERIENCE · MARA HOLDINGS
Anduro is a multi-sidechain network built on Bitcoin, designed to expand Bitcoin's utility while strengthening its long-term Proof-of-Work economics. Its sidechains are merge-mined alongside Bitcoin and use Bitcoin-pegged native assets, creating a deeply Bitcoin-native ecosystem without competing for mining security.

Slipstream
PRIOR TEAM EXPERIENCE · MARA HOLDINGS
Conceived, architected, and launched two of our founders, Slipstream is a production Bitcoin service that enables transactions to be submitted directly to mining infrastructure, bypassing public mempool propagation.

Coordinate
PRIOR TEAM EXPERIENCE · MARA HOLDINGS
Developed by three members of our founding team as part of Anduro, Coordinate is a Bitcoin sidechain designed to deliver scalable, low-cost transactions and native asset issuance while preserving Bitcoin's core principles.
Built around Bitcoin Script and SHA-256 merge mining, Coordinate provides fast, predictable settlement with fees paid in cBTC, redeemable 1:1 for bitcoin. Its architecture extends Bitcoin's utility without token pre-sales or separate mining competition, aligning network incentives directly with Bitcoin's existing mining ecosystem.

Pool Block Art
PRIOR TEAM EXPERIENCE · MARA HOLDINGS
Block Art transforms Bitcoin transaction data into distinctive visual patterns embedded within mined blocks, using transaction placement and attributes such as size and fee rate to create recognizable imagery.
Developed by some of our founding members, the technology turned block construction into a new medium for branding and engagement, while creating opportunities for alternative mining-pool revenue through sponsored and high-visibility block placements. It has been used for several high-profile blocks, including a portrait of Donald Trump that became the company's most-retweeted post at the time.


SwapX
PRIOR TEAM EXPERIENCE · GALAXY INTERNATIONAL
Developed and operated by members our founding team, SwapX is a decentralized exchange combining liquidity aggregation, yield farming, and pool-level governance into a unified DeFi platform.
Its architecture introduced user-controlled, fund-like liquidity pools, where participants could create and govern individual pools through Pair Tokens. SwapX also implemented a multi-layered “triple yield farming” model, combining external LP staking, native liquidity provision, and pool-specific incentives to create new models for decentralized liquidity management and governance.

The platform was later acquired by 12BET, marking another successful exit for technology built by our team.
