Bain Capital Crypto backs renegades and pioneers building the next generation of open internet infrastructure.

About

The internet is undergoing a fundamental shift towards open, community-driven, and decentralized services. Touching how we play, work, and transact, we believe this seismic shift will be one of the most important technological developments since the advent of the web. The teams building these new pillars of the internet require a new type of investment firm—one that can support them from ideation through scale. Bain Capital Crypto is a purpose-built investment platform designed for those projects. We are hackers, tinkerers, and builders, powered by a deeply technical, collaborative approach from the earliest stages.

Dynamic Pricing for Non-fungible Resources
Public blockchains implement a fee mechanism to allocate scarce computational resources across competing transactions. Most existing fee market designs utilize a joint, fungible unit of account (e.g., gas in Ethereum) to price otherwise non-fungible resources such as bandwidth, computation, and storage, by hardcoding their relative prices. Fixing the relative price of each resource in this way inhibits granular price discovery, limiting scalability and opening up the possibility of denial-of-service attacks.
