OpenSocial Protocol

The company was founded by Allen Ng and Sean Tao. The founders identified that the primary challenge for modern investors is not a lack of information, but the overwhelming volume of real-time data. Their vision was to create a platform where AI acts as a co-pilot, actively assisting in the decision-making process rather than just displaying static data. The technical team includes former Wall Street quantitative trading experts and Web3 protocol developers. Before its public launch, Edgen was in a closed beta where it analyzed over a million data points daily.

Edgen's platform is built on a proprietary system called the Efficient Decision Guidance Model (EDGM), a real-time system that processes user queries and directs them through various specialized agents and data sources. Instead of a single large language model, Edgen uses a collection of smaller, coordinated tools and models to provide faster and more contextually relevant answers. The service offers features like integrated multimodal AI agent clusters for real-time signals, trading alerts, and portfolio analysis. The platform aims to make institutional-grade strategies accessible to all investors by transforming them into user-friendly tools. The company has stated its goal is to empower the creation of 1,000 community apps by 2025.

As OpenSocial Protocol, the company focused on providing a multi-chain, open-source, and modular protocol for creators to build community applications. It provided building blocks for features like comments, feeds, chatrooms, and various plug-ins. This infrastructure was designed to be deployed across different virtual machines, such as EVM and SVM, creating a multi-chain social economy. The firm has raised a total of $26 million in funding. This includes a $6 million strategic round led by Framework Ventures and North Island Ventures, with participation from numerous other investors including Stratos, Moonrock Capital, and HV Capital.
