CoAct Capital’s Post

Investors show confidence in Diraq's quantum dot technology as yet another Quantum firm bags a Series A of more than 20M. "" Silicon CMOS manufacturing technology currently allows well over one billion transistors to be packed onto a single silicon chip. Diraq’s patented CMOS qubits are the same size as today’s transistors and use the same manufacturing. Over the next ten years our Diraq chips will progress from prototypes to working silicon quantum processor chips at nanometer scales that other quantum bit technologies will never achieve.

Congratulations to the team at #Diraq for securing their Series A funding of £22 million. Diraq's quantum dots hold the promise of making a significant number of quantum spins in silicon a reality within the next decade. This advancement paves the way for scalable quantum computing using the same manufacturing processes employed for classical computers today.

The World's Greatest Investor...Jim Simons It is with profound sadness that we bid farewell to Jim Simons, a pioneering mathematician and investor whose remarkable achievements have forever changed the landscape of finance. Jim Simons founded Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund that became legendary for its exceptional performance averaging , driven by advanced mathematical models and sophisticated algorithms. His work demonstrated the transformative power of quantitative trading and set new standards for the industry. Renaissance Technologies, often just referred to as RenTec, is reputed as the highest-performing investment firms ever, with its Medallion Fund having returned a net 90,129x to investors between the years 1988-2022. Today, we honour the memory of a true visionary whose influence will be felt for generations to come. Rest in peace, Jim Simons. 🕊️ #JimSimons #RenaissanceTechnologies #QuantitativeTrading #FinanceLegend #InvestmentPioneer #Legacy #InMemoriam #OptimaWealth #RenTec #HedgeFund #Trading

We're excited to co-lead the $4 million seed round of @Meridien with ParaFi Capital, to fuel the #Move #DeFi ecosystem on Movement Labs alongside Amber Group, Saison Capital, Interop Ventures, Oak Grove Ventures, Serafund, Flow Traders, Gate.io, Ambush Capital , Double Peak Group @DCF GOD and prominent angels from Quantstamp, Inc. among others. As a #DeFi resurgence looms, #Move is emerging as a superior alternative to the #EVM, offering enhanced performance, security, and developer friendliness. Movement Labs is leading the charge, and Meridian is playing a pivotal role by developing a suite of primitives and infrastructure to bolster the ecosystem To start, Meridian will serve as Movement Labs's central liquidity and yield hub, expanding to novel liquid (re)staking and validator infrastructure in the near future. To facilitate this, it is building a decentralized liquidity marketplace and liquid staking protocol on Movement Labs, enabling partner protocols to build deep liquidity in a capital-efficient manner while offering users secure, productive yield on their assets. This protocol is live on testnet and is scheduled to launch on day one of Movement Labs’s mainnet, marking a significant milestone for the #Move ecosystem. The #Move ecosystem currently represents only a fraction of total on-chain liquidity and trading volumes compared to existing #EVM and #SVM solutions. Meridian aims to bridge this gap by leveraging the security and composability of the #Move language. The platform will work closely with various (re)staking protocols and yield-bearing asset issuers to provide a highly secure and composable infrastructure for #DeFi activities. With this funding, Meridian plans to expand its global team, actively hiring across engineering, product, and marketing roles. This growth will fuel the platform’s ambitious roadmap and accelerate its #GoToMarket strategy. Newswire: https://lnkd.in/dfifZAtD Pulse 2.0: https://lnkd.in/d8XJYa2e
