Four Pillars has successfully secured Series A funding, marking a strategic shift from a research institute to a blockchain research and infrastructure provider for institutional clients. While the funding amount remains undisclosed, the company plans to leverage its three-year history of collaboration with over 100 protocols and companies, during which it published more than 600 research reports. The company will focus on three main initiatives: FP Research, which will be divided into five specialized departments covering Crypto, Investment, Institutional, Asia, and Technology; FP Validated, offering institutional-grade validator infrastructure and staking services; and FP Institution, a new division dedicated to providing workshops and consulting services to institutional clients.
