Solix Raises $29.5M to Revolutionize Decentralized Internet Infrastructure
MUNICH, Germany, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solix DePIN, a pioneer in decentralized physical infrastructure networks, has secured $29.5 million in funding from Eclip Foundation. This investment will accelerate the development of Solix's groundbreaking MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL (MCP) technology, which enables intelligent bandwidth sharing without affecting users' internet experience.
Founded with the mission to transform how internet bandwidth is shared and monetized, Solix has created a platform where users can contribute their unused bandwidth and earn rewards through a simple browser extension. This approach addresses critical challenges in today's internet landscape, including bandwidth inequality and inefficient resource allocation.
'We designed Solix with simplicity and accessibility as core principles,' said David Rodriguez, CEO of Solix DePIN. 'By removing technical barriers to entry, we're enabling anyone with an internet connection to participate in the decentralized economy and be rewarded for sharing resources they already have.'
The MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL at the heart of Solix's technology represents a significant advancement in the DePIN space. This innovative protocol connects AI models to real-time contextual data about internet usage, allowing for dynamic, intelligent decision-making on bandwidth allocation. Unlike traditional bandwidth sharing solutions that operate on fixed rules, MCP ensures that users' internet experience remains uncompromised.
Our MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL implementation is what truly sets Solix apart in the DePIN ecosystem,' explained Emily Richardson, Chief Technology Officer at Solix. 'MCP allows for sophisticated real-time analysis of bandwidth availability, creating an optimal balance between sharing resources and maintaining exceptional user experience.'
The company's user-friendly approach has driven impressive adoption metrics. Solix currently boasts over 100,000 active users across more than 63 countries, processing approximately 275 TB of data daily. These figures demonstrate both the robust infrastructure and growing demand for decentralized bandwidth solutions.
Eclip Foundation, known for backing transformative Web3 technologies, recognized Solix's potential to reshape internet resource distribution. 'Solix represents exactly the kind of innovation we aim to support – solutions that combine technical excellence with practical utility and broad market potential,' said James Wilson, Managing Partner at Eclip Foundation.
The $29.5 million investment will fund several key initiatives on Solix's roadmap. These include enhancing the core technology, expanding global reach, and introducing advanced features such as smart bandwidth allocation and AI-powered network optimization. The company also plans to establish strategic partnerships with cloud service providers and content delivery networks to create broader use cases for its decentralized bandwidth marketplace.
As internet bandwidth demands continue to grow exponentially with the rise of AI, streaming services, and IoT devices, Solix's decentralized approach offers a scalable and sustainable alternative to traditional bandwidth provisioning. The platform's ability to dynamically adjust to network demands ensures optimal performance while maximizing rewards for contributors.
Participating in the Solix network is straightforward – users simply download and activate the Solix browser extension. Once running, the extension intelligently allocates a portion of the user's unused bandwidth to the network, automatically earning them SLIX Points for their contribution.
With this significant funding round, Solix is positioned to lead the next wave of innovation in decentralized infrastructure, creating a more accessible, efficient, and equitable internet experience for users worldwide.

The Case for Investing in Digital Assets
You've been at the forefront of creating digital asset products from an early stage. Why do you think investors should consider putting money into digital assets? First of all, with digital assets, you get a quantitative diversity of return. Per increment of risk to reward, the ratio of the performance of bitcoin to the S&P 500 is more than three to one. So if you're going to invest money, one of the best risk-reward ratios is, without question, in digital assets as a stand-alone asset class. Secondly, you get something new with digital assets that you didn't have before, and that's transparency. Public blockchains are auditable in real time, so they are trustless. You also get economies of scale and capital efficiencies. That's what this technology does — it makes things easier, cheaper, better and faster. Thirdly, I believe bitcoin is one of the most important assets in all of human history because it removes the need of central banks. At the core of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), is recreating traditional financial services like lending, borrowing, and trading, but without relying on centralized intermediaries like banks. This cuts out the middleman. Lastly, as the application layer of Web3 continues to evolve, the ease of use and access becomes better. If you look at the adoption curve now, we're about to hit an acceleration point. Six to eight years ago, the security was just gnarly. Now, you have multi-party computation (MPC) technology and multi-sig wallets, and Chainalysis doing work to ensure illicit funds aren't mixed into the funds you're acquiring. This offers a more robust infrastructure to let the application layer bring product and services to the masses at scale, and easier to use. What are the biggest obstacles preventing people from investing in digital assets? The first is recency bias. We saw in 2022 the failure of FTX, Celsius and others, which was a mix of counterparty failure, fraud and crimes. No one would fault anybody for being hesitant to get into digital assets because of that, but I will point out that the second-most fined company ever in the history of mankind is JP Morgan. So while you can forgive people for recency bias, I would argue they're not appraising it properly against TradFi counterparty risk. Then, whatever people's recency bias is anchoring them to, the tendency is to follow up with confirmation bias, "I don't want to touch that asset, since memecoins are down 90%.' So I believe these two biases combined do to not motivate people to underwrite the space properly. Secondly, there's a lack of understanding and awareness that all TradFi assets are held in 'street name,' meaning you don't own it — your brokerage firm does. People also aren't aware that banks' reserve ratios are in single digit percentages all over the world, meaning if you have money in a bank, it's actually not there. There's a lack of appreciation of the fractional reserve banking system, which arguably has caused all of the credit crises throughout history. Overall, it's important to put headlines of bad actors and failed memecoins aside. Look at the infrastructure and all it offers. With Web3, you have shared security or privacy with zero-knowledge proofs. You can participate in certain networks to make them stronger, which then offers you staking yield. If you provide liquidity, you can get an automated market maker (AMM) yield. The system is efficient and strong. What are the best ways to get alpha in today's volatile markets? First, have an accumulation strategy. This means you pick a portfolio of your best 5, 10, or 20 assets and dollar cost average them. Then, develop a trading plan. For example, if Ethereum drops to $1,200, then what am I doing? Or if Ethereum goes to $4,000, what will I do? Next, you want to 'invest with the trend,' which I see as a three-factored process. First, we're looking at the adoption curve. Then, we're looking at monthly data points for the establishment of the trend. Lastly, appraise the progression of the technology and the value proposition of the products and services of the entire space. Those three things are how you effectively contemplate where we are in a trend, in my opinion. Tell me more about the HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund. We launched the HD Acheilus Fund in mid-May to leverage CoinDesk Indices' Bitcoin and Ether Trend Indicators and it's diversified because it trades the CoinDesk 20. This actively managed, single-strategy fund targets institutional investors, aiming to profit from crypto market uptrends while avoiding drawdowns. We use a combination of quantitative and macroeconomic signals to shift between crypto tokens and cash, delivering a disciplined, outcome-driven cryptocurrency investment strategy. In my opinion, this is the easiest push button allocation anybody can ever make in crypto. Our award-winning funds are centered around a dedicated compliance team, ensuring adherence to all CFTC and SEC regulations while anticipating future changes. Also, we have established robust internal policies and procedures that meet or exceed regulatory requirements, covering areas such as anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), data protection, and risk management. All of this speaks to a forward-thinking culture that governs all our activities. Where can someone learn more about the fund?

Can Cloudflare's Workers Platform Lead Its Next Phase of Growth?
Cloudflare's NET first-quarter 2025 results show that its Workers platform may become a key part of its future growth. The company signed its biggest-ever deal, worth more than $100 million, mainly because of the Workers platform. This deal shows that large customers now see Cloudflare as more than just a security or network company. Cloudflare Workers lets developers build and run applications closer to users. Since its launch in 2017, the platform has been adopted by more than three million developers who are actively using the platform. Cloudflare Workers started as a serverless platform that helped developers to build, deploy, and scale applications across Cloudflare's global network. Convenient to use, the Workers platform enabled developers to take actions using a single command and reduced infrastructure management and configuration complexities. Now the company is evolving the platform with AI implementation. The Workers AI tool embedded inside the Workers developer platform has experienced an explosive 4,000% year-over-year rise in inference requests as reported in the first-quarter earnings. Cloudflare is now focusing on enriching its Workers platform with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The MCP server running inside its Workers platform will enable its clients to leverage MCP's standardized, low-latency connection between AI models and software platforms. This will further help these clients to deploy AI agents to simplify tasks like managing workflows, handling transactions, or querying business data. This value addition can trigger more upsells and customer acquisition, hence boosting this platform's growth. Alphabet GOOGL and Amazon AMZN also provide general-purpose serverless and container-based edge deployment solutions. Alphabet offers Google Cloud Functions + Cloud Run with Cloud CDN, while Amazon Web Services offers Lambda & Lambda@Edge. While Alphabet is implementing AI in its Cloud Run solution, Amazon's AWS Lambda & Lambda@Edge leverage deep integrations with AWS services, robust tooling, and a mature developer base. Additionally, AWS Fargate is the AWS service that also enables serverless compute for containers. Cloudflare provides configuration-less auto-scaling, a high-performance global network, and low latency in serverless services that are compatible with all the major programming languages, including JS, Rust, C, and C++, so it will thrive in this competitive environment. Cloudflare's Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates Shares of NET have surged 66.5% year to date compared with the Zacks Internet - Software industry's growth of 13.2%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, NET trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 26.61X, higher than the industry's average of 5.68X.
