Particle Network
Particle Network is a Singapore-based Web3 infrastructure company building chain abstraction technology so users can interact with any decentralized application on any blockchain from a single account and balance - no bridging or network switching required. Founded in 2022 as a wallet-abstraction provider, it evolved into a modular Layer-1 blockchain that coordinates transactions across chains through its flagship Universal Accounts, Universal Liquidity and Universal Gas products. Its stack has been integrated by hundreds of dApps, helped secure billions in user assets, and reached millions of users; its native PARTI token launched in March 2025.
Burnt
Burnt is a New York-based Web3 company and the core team behind XION, a Layer 1 blockchain built to make crypto invisible to everyday users. Founded by Anthony Anzalone - better known as the artist-provocateur 'Burnt Banksy' - the company uses 'generalized abstraction' to remove wallets, private keys and gas fees so that people can sign in with an email or a face scan and pay in USDC. Burnt has raised more than $36M from investors including Animoca Brands, Circle Ventures and Multicoin, and pitches XION as consumer-grade infrastructure for brands like Uber, BMW and others. In 2026 the XION network rebranded to Verona.
