The Lab That Tried to Replace the Web Became a 750-Team Operating System
Protocol Labs started by giving data an address that could survive a broken link. A decade later, it is testing a larger idea: whether an open network can move research from strange prototype to useful company faster than a conventional lab can.
CoinList
CoinList is a San Francisco-based crypto platform that gives investors early access to new token sales and blockchain networks before they list on exchanges. Spun out of AngelList in 2017, it pioneered compliant token distribution with KYC/AML and accredited-investor verification, and has run primary sales for projects including Filecoin, Solana, Near and Algorand. In 2025 the company began shifting to a fully non-custodial, onchain model that delivers tokens directly into user-controlled wallets.
NodeShift
NodeShift is a decentralized cloud platform that aggregates spare compute, GPU and storage capacity from independent data centers and web3 networks, then resells it through one simplified UI and a single API. By tapping underused infrastructure instead of building hyperscale data centers, NodeShift offers developers and enterprises GPUs, virtual machines and storage at prices it claims are up to 70-80% cheaper than traditional cloud providers - positioning itself as a 'sovereign AI cloud' for teams that want affordable, distributed, compliance-friendly compute.
