Blueprint Finance Completes Strategic Funding Round
Blueprint Finance, the core developer of Concrete, has announced the completion of a strategic funding round led by Polychain Capital.
The financing includes participation from:
- Polychain Capital
- Bullish
- Keyrock
- BitGo
- FalconX
- G-20
- Flowdesk
- JPEG Trading
- Sentient Capital

The investor group spans several parts of the digital-asset ecosystem, bringing together organizations involved in venture capital, institutional trading, custody, liquidity provision, and digital asset infrastructure.
Blueprint Finance said the financing will support its continued efforts to scale Concrete, its full-stack vault infrastructure for on-chain capital management.
Concrete Expands Institutional On-Chain Vault Infrastructure
Concrete is designed to provide institutions, protocols, asset managers, and other capital allocators with infrastructure for launching, managing, and allocating capital through sophisticated on-chain strategies.
The platform brings together functions that can otherwise require multiple systems and integrations, including:
- Execution
- Accounting
- Risk controls
- Rebalancing
- Protocol integrations
- Quantitative strategy tooling
Through its vault architecture, Concrete is being developed to allow these capabilities to operate within a unified infrastructure layer.
Blueprint Finance is positioning Concrete for a developing phase of decentralized finance in which vaults increasingly operate as programmable on-chain capital allocators rather than simply serving as mechanisms for accessing individual yield opportunities.
Building Infrastructure for On-Chain Capital Allocation
Blueprint Finance continues to work with protocols, asset issuers, networks, and institutional allocators to develop vaults capable of supporting on-chain yield products and functioning as core liquidity infrastructure.
The company’s approach centers on combining the composability associated with DeFi with operational capabilities intended for institutional participants.
This includes infrastructure designed to provide greater coordination across:
- Capital allocation
- Execution
- Accounting
- Risk management
- Liquidity
- Operational controls
The company said this infrastructure is intended to support the growing requirements of professional participants operating in on-chain markets.
Expanding the Concrete Ecosystem With AssetCX and concUSD
Blueprint Finance has also continued expanding Concrete beyond its core vault infrastructure through additional on-chain financial primitives.
These include:
- AssetCX
- concUSD
The company describes these products as part of the next stage of Concrete’s development, with a focus on building new assets, markets, and financial products on top of its institutional-grade infrastructure.
CEO Commentary
Nic Roberts-Huntley, CEO and co-founder of Blueprint Finance, said:
“DeFi is moving beyond the era where capital allocation was defined by chasing the highest advertised yield. The next phase is about infrastructure: giving professional allocators the controls, transparency, automation, and risk management they expect while preserving everything that makes on-chain markets powerful.”
Roberts-Huntley added:
“Who participated in this round is as important to us as the capital itself.”
He said the participating firms bring expertise across liquidity, execution, custody, and distribution, which Blueprint Finance intends to incorporate as it develops Concrete for the next generation of on-chain capital.
Institutional Requirements for DeFi Infrastructure
The financing comes as Blueprint Finance identifies increasing institutional requirements within digital-asset markets.
According to the company, professional allocators are looking beyond simple access to on-chain yield and increasingly require infrastructure capable of supporting operational and risk-management functions.
These requirements include:
- Auditable accounting
- Defined operational permissions
- Scalable execution
- Transparent risk controls
- Infrastructure capable of adapting to changing market conditions
Blueprint Finance said these requirements are contributing to growing institutional interest in vault infrastructure as digital-asset markets mature.
