About Cymbal
Cymbal Inc. operates a blockchain data platform with the mission to make on-chain information understandable to a broad audience. Founded in 2022 by Eric Feng, Nick Chang, and Shabih Rizvi, the Menlo Park-based company is building what it calls a “human readable” blockchain explorer. The founding team brings experience from prominent technology companies such as Meta, Microsoft, Hulu, and Flipboard. CEO Eric Feng’s background is particularly notable, with previous roles as a General Partner at Kleiner Perkins, CTO at Hulu, and involvement in the video commerce startup Packagd, which was acquired by Meta.
Read full description
The company's core product is a platform that allows users to explore, track, and analyze blockchain activity, initially focusing on the Ethereum network with plans to integrate others like Solana and Polygon. Instead of the command-line interface feel of traditional block explorers, Cymbal provides a visual and social interface. This graphical interface integrates NFT artwork, data trends, public information on wallet owners, and relevant news to make the data more digestible. The service aims to transform complex data into clear insights, for example, by tracking NFT collections, wallet portfolios, and transaction histories. It also incorporates AI to generate conversational summaries of on-chain activities and trends.
Cymbal operates in the financial technology and information services sector, serving a diverse customer base that includes individual crypto users, developers, and institutional clients. The business model appears to be subscription-based, offering tiered access to its data analytics and reporting features. In July 2023, the company announced it had raised $18.5 million in a funding round with participation from investors such as First Round Capital, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Coinbase Ventures, and Solana Ventures.
