Most of DeFi uses collateral to take out loans. Anvil uses it to keep promises. Verifiable guarantees for payments and credit, now easy to integrate with our new SDK. Excited to have Founders Fund and an incredible group of partners in the Anvil community.
NEW: $5M from Founders Fund, Pantera and others, plus a brand-new SDK, as Anvil tries to make crypto fade into the background of everyday business.
@AcronymFNDN President @trspalding joins @kateirwin to break down how a DeFi letter-of-credit protocol powers buy now, pay later, accounts receivable and reservations, and why Bitcoin, Ethereum and tokenized real-world assets could become on-chain collateral.

Founders Fund backed SpaceX, Palantir, Stripe and Anduril. Now it’s backing @anvil_xyz alongside Pantera, Bullish, Theta, Protoscale, and others.
$5M is the headline. The network is the multiplier.
Anvil doesn’t need to be the next Stripe. It could power companies like Stripe.
STACK $ANVL

Proud to see leading institutional investors support @anvil_xyz, more businesses put the Protocol to work, and the technology continue to advance.
These are major steps forward for digital asset use across traditional finance.
Anvil is scaling on every front:
$5M in institutional governance participation.
Growing real-world business adoption.
New enterprise-ready SDK.
All accelerating institutional finance onchain.

$40B+ in real-world assets already sit onchain, excluding stablecoins.
Conversations at the latest @Legends4Legends pointed out that the next phase is not just bringing more value onchain, but expanding what that value can do through faster settlement, easier collateralization, and 24/7 markets.
Our tenth Legends4Legends conference made the case that blockchain is becoming infrastructure for both finance and AI, and institutions are now waking up to this.
