Skolem Technologies

New York, NY, USA Fintech Acquired

Skolem Technologies is a New York-based institutional-grade DeFi platform that provides data and trade-execution infrastructure for hedge funds, asset managers, treasuries, and service providers. The platform offers a single integration point for institutions to participate directly in decentralized finance markets through trading, yield farming, staking, lending, and liquidity provisioning without materially increasing technical headcount or portfolio risk. Skolem's stack includes real-time streaming of on-chain prices and metrics, pre-transaction simulations, configurable alerts, order automation, and full transaction accounting. The company was founded in 2020 by JP Smith (formerly of Trail of Bits) and raised a $20M Series A in June 2022 led by Galaxy Digital. Skolem was acquired by institutional crypto trading platform Talos in May 2024 to extend Talos's institutional offering into DeFi. (Note: this is the DeFi-focused Skolem Technologies; not related to the academic 'Skolem' concept in mathematical logic or any materials-science venture.)
