Cesto
At Cesto, we're on a mission to end one-size-fits-all finance. Now, you can go from idea to trade in one click. We are building thematic baskets on Solana with RWAs, prediction markets and perps. Given you own the assets, you can lend, borrow or stake baskets too.

Clawpump
ClawPump is the #1 Financial Operating System for Agents on Solana. With one command or one click, agents get their own wallet, market access, and ways to earn, so it can launch, trade, pay, and build without waiting on a human. We are a tool for agentic financial liberation. An agent can tokenize itself gaslessly, access DeFi (Swaps, Perps, Lending, Prediction Markets) through our MCP and API stack, and earn 65% of its creator fees in SOL. That revenue funds the next step: compute, tools, products, and distribution. ClawPump turns agents into self-funding, onchain operators that can trade, build, and experiment. Track record $160M in agentic driven volume to date with $30M this past week. 12,196 agents launched and 3B LLM tokens of compute served. ~$800K USD redistributed directly to agents and builders. 183 MCP tools across spot, perps, lending, payments, hosting, and more Backed by PumpFun and Colosseum Building alongside Ansem, and the Solana ecosystem through the AnsemHack Clawrena, a $345K builder arena where teams ship agents, tokenize them, and build agentic companies. Agents already use ClawPump to fund GPUs, operate trading strategies, route inference, and build net new onchain markets.

DashX Payments
DashX: Compliant Cross-Border Payments Infrastructure for India DashX is the payment rail for exporters and global businesses receiving money into India. Businesses receive payments across 25+ global currencies and stablecoins and settle instantly into local INR accounts with fully automated compliance. The rails already move real money for 800+ contractors, exporters and startups. Volume is growing ~100% month-over-month. The Problem Cross-border payments into emerging markets remain fragmented, expensive and operationally broken. Exporters receiving US dollars face 3-5% in banking fees and FX spreads, multi-day settlement cycles that lock up working capital and a compliance nightmare. Every transaction requires Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates, FEMA registration and manual coordination with chartered accountants. Legacy infrastructure cannot deliver the speed or scale businesses need. The Solution DashX abstracts the entire complexity of stablecoins, banking rails and Indian compliance into a unified platform and API. Businesses receive funds via ACH or USDC from anywhere globally. DashX instantly settles to local INR in their bank account, automatically generates FIRC documentation, handles KYC/AML and regulatory reporting and maintains full audit trails. Neobanks, fintechs and remittance companies integrate DashX APIs to offer these capabilities to their own users without rebuilding corridor specific infrastructure themselves. Sub 1% settlement costs instead of 3-5% T+0/1 local payout instead of 3-5 business days Fully automated FIRC, FEMA, and compliance reporting Institutional-grade FX rates and banking partnerships What is Next DashX is moving down the stack from orchestration to ownership. We will build direct banking integrations, acquire licenses to own more infrastructure and reduce dependency on intermediary partners. Once we own the receivables relationship, we layer on working capital products: invoice financing, export credit lines, receivables discounting built directly on transaction data flowing through our platform. The end state is a complete financial infrastructure layer for any business earning globally but settling into India. After establishing density here, the same playbook replicates across high-friction corridors: UAE, Southeast Asia, LATAM. At that point, the TAM is every business in an emerging market receiving money from abroad.
