Welcome to the On-Chain Era

At Lyrik Ventures, we believe we're at the beginning of a transformative period where blockchain technology moves from speculation to daily utility. This introduction outlines our vision for the "Living On-Chain" future.

The Evolution of Blockchain

Blockchain has evolved through several phases:

  1. Bitcoin Era (2009-2015): Digital gold and peer-to-peer payments
  2. Smart Contract Era (2015-2020): Programmable money and DeFi
  3. NFT & Gaming Era (2020-2023): Digital ownership and culture
  4. Living On-Chain Era (2023+): Comprehensive digital life infrastructure

What Changes in the Living On-Chain Era?

This new era is characterized by:

  • Seamless UX: Blockchain becomes invisible to end users
  • Real Utility: Solutions to everyday problems, not just financial speculation
  • Interoperability: Different chains and protocols work together
  • Mainstream Adoption: Your grandma can use it without knowing it's blockchain

Our Investment Focus

We're backing teams building the infrastructure and applications that will enable billions of people to live on-chain, focusing on usability, scalability, and real-world utility.
