Featured Research

Soulbound by Design

Web3 has always been a playground for bold ideas. It gave us programmable money, digital ownership, and decentralized networks that move faster than regulation. Now, it's aiming even higher—rewiring digital identity itself. The key? Soulbound Tokens (SBTs).

Inside the Dark Pool

Ethereum's superpower is transparency—every block, every trade, every wallet open for inspection. But within that openness lies a hidden battlefield, where miners, validators, and bots race to capture invisible profits. This is MEV, or Maximal (formerly Miner) Extractable Value, and it's becoming one of the most high-stakes games in crypto.

Manifesto

Web3 isn't a trend — it's a tectonic shift in how we own, govern, and exchange value. At Haneul Ventures, we're building the blueprints for this new world. No hype. No shortcuts. Just code, community, and the courage to redefine what's possible.
