**JOIN ANTE LABS**
Entering and settling **credible commitments** is critical for global trade,
but it’s slow and complex. Ante Labs is building Ante, a protocol for onchain
commitments, and hiring talent excited to transform societal accountability.
Imagining how claims settlement evolves in a world without computers, and you
get something rooted in legacy courts. But the world has always-on,
programmable ledgers. So why not build open tools to create, verify, and
settle commitments, which accelerates trust formation and growth?
**WHY ANTE?**
The vast majority of things attempted in crypto don't make sense, but a few
things make a lot of sense. Ante works by enabling users to create verifiable
_onchain commitments_ with autonomous settlement. At scale, Ante can help keep
the world honest, level the playing field for entering global commerce, and
explicitly digitize trust.
Concrete crypto products like Uniswap, Maker, Compound / Aave, etc., have
become "verbs" in crypto. That's because they actually are coherent with
crypto's differentiating properties. Consequently, they make so much sense now
that it's easy to forget that they weren't a part of crypto from day one.
The goal of Ante is to “verb-ify” a new primitive - an “Ante,” or a **credible
commitment** \- that, in retrospect, seems obvious. (“Tokenizing” as a concept
seems obvious now, and swapping stems from tokens, but Uniswap didn’t become
“a thing” until tokens were ubiquitous.)
**ABOUT ANTE LABS**
Ante Labs is a seed-stage remote org backed by angels & leading crypto
investors like Sequoia. Teammates have worked on global consumer apps, gaming,
and crypto, and built a quant trading firm from scratch.
