Offchain Labs Launches Tandem to Empower Blockchain Innovation

Offchain
Labs
has
announced
the
launch
of
Tandem,
a
new
partner
studio
designed
to
assist
select
partners
in
overcoming
some
of
the
most
significant
challenges
in
the
blockchain
space.
According
to

Offchain
Labs,
Tandem
aims
to
provide
both
financial
investment
and
deep
collaborative
support.

Mission
and
Vision

Offchain
Labs,
known
for
its
work
on
Arbitrum,
has
always
focused
on
addressing
the
most
complex
technical
issues
in
blockchain.
Through
Tandem,
the
company
plans
to
broaden
its
scope
to
support
other
teams,
helping
them
to
break
barriers
in
blockchain
adoption.
Tandem
aims
to
empower
builders
and
enhance
the
Arbitrum
and
Ethereum
ecosystems
through
strategic
collaborations.

Focus
Areas

Tandem
will
initially
concentrate
on
two
main
areas:

1. 
   Innovative
   Blockchain
   Applications:
   Projects
   that
   push
   the
   boundaries
   of
   on-chain
   solutions
   and
   introduce
   new
   functionalities
   within
   the
   blockchain
   ecosystem.
2. 
   Problem-Solving
   Infrastructure:
   Projects
   that
   develop
   critical
   infrastructure
   to
   address
   core
   technological
   challenges,
   complementing
   Offchain
   Labs’
   work
   on
   Arbitrum
   and
   Prysm.

By
focusing
on
these
areas,
Tandem
aims
to
provide
resources
that
are
otherwise
inaccessible
to
teams,
enabling
them
to
be
more
ambitious
and
successful.

Comprehensive
Support
Services

Tandem’s
approach
is
hands-on
and
personalized.
The
studio
plans
to
support
only
a
handful
of
teams
at
any
given
time
to
ensure
deep
and
dedicated
attention.
Core
areas
of
support
include:

•

Proven
Partnership
Success

Tandem
builds
on
Offchain
Labs’
history
of
successful
collaborations.
One
notable
partnership
is
with
Espresso
Systems,
where
Offchain
Labs
has
played
a
significant
role
in
the
design
of
decentralized
sequencing
technologies.
Another
example
is
the
collaboration
with
Ex
Populus
for
the
launch
of
the
XAI
blockchain,
which
has
seen
immense
success
in
the
gaming
sector.

“Working
with
Offchain
Labs
has
catalyzed
our
progress
across
go-to-market,
product,
and
R&D
at
Espresso.
They
bring
a
deep
level
of
rigor,
thoughtfulness,
and
passion
to
the
conversation,”
said
Jill
Gunter,
Chief
Strategy
Officer
at
Espresso
Systems.

“Offchain
Labs
provided
the
XAI
project
with
the
first
L3
leveraging
AnyTrust
technology,
giving
us
a
significant
advantage
that
would
not
have
been
possible
without
their
support,”
said
Soby,
a
core
contributor
to
XAI.
