Forgd is Reinventing Web3 Advisory with Free Tools for Tokenomics Design, Liquidity Monitoring, and Token Cap Table Management

New York, NY, September 3rd, 2024, Chainwire

Forgd, a token advisory and optimization platform, announced the launch of its free-to-use web platform, which provides blockchain projects unrestricted access to tools for tokenomics design, liquidity monitoring, cap table management, and financial planning. Forgd eliminates financial barriers associated with traditional Web3 Advisory and consolidates an otherwise fragmented services industry built to support blockchain projects as they issue a token.

A token launch involves complex challenges, prompting many blockchain projects to hire multiple external advisors for tasks like tokenomics modeling, market maker engagement, and exchange listing. These engagements can be costly and often lead to operational inefficiencies, given that few advisors operate an end-to-end process. Forgd addresses these challenges with free software tools for executing all vital go-to-market activities and optimizing token performance post-launch. This “self-service” approach to Web3 advisory allows teams to execute at their own pace.

“Many of the tasks involved in a token launch are outside the expertise of a typical tech founder, which is why we created a set of tools to streamline and simplify the process in an end-to-end application,” said Shane Molidor, CEO and Founder of Forgd. “Forgd was built in response to the recurring needs of founders we’ve observed in Web3. Our DIY software tools not only reduce costs but also allow teams to concentrate on product innovation rather than specialized capital market activities.”

Shane Molidor is a 10-year cryptocurrency veteran who formerly operated as CEO of AscendEX, Head of Trading at FBG Capital, and Business Development Associate at Gemini. Forgd recently enhanced its capabilities by acquiring Tokenomics DAO, a research institution focused on tokenomics and novel protocol design. 

For blockchain projects that haven’t yet launched their token, Forgd helps them design tokenomics, conduct cash flow analysis & prepare for fundraising, secure partnerships with market makers & exchanges, and navigate administrative tasks such as offshore company formation. For projects with a live token, Forgd provides tools for monitoring market maker performance & token unlocks, automated token streaming, and even non-custodial liquidity provision.

In a strategic move, Forgd has aligned with the Solana Foundation to provide select tools exclusively for projects built on the Solana blockchain. This collaboration underscores the Forgd commitment to supporting scalable blockchain ecosystems and fostering project growth.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with the Solana Foundation to offer our tools to Solana’s vibrant developer ecosystem,” said Florian Strauf, CTO of Forgd and Founder of Tokenomics DAO. “This strategic alignment highlights our dedication to creating public goods to support blockchain entrepreneurs, and we look forward to partnering with other blockchain base layers to create comprehensive cross-chain support.”

Forgd reports that over 250 projects have already benefited from using its pioneering tools, such as “AMM²”, a non-custodial market making protocol that empowers projects to act as their liquidity provider across all major exchanges with automated rebalancing.

“The positive response since our private beta launch in Q1’24 has been overwhelming,” commented Shane Molidor. “Our team is motivated to continue innovating and developing new tools to empower Web3 entrepreneurs aiming to launch and scale projects of their own.”

Biz2X’s business lending platform to start delivering capital to Watermelon Ecosystem merchants in the MENA Region

NEW YORK and DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biz2X®, a global fintech headquartered in New York City whose small business finance platform is used across countries like the U.S., India and Australia with over $10 billion USD funded to date, today announced that the technology platform is powering a new SME financing program from food & beverage platform company, Watermelon Ecosystem.

This strategic partnership will pair Biz2X’s leading small business financing platform with Watermelon's digital ecosystem of restaurateurs and other F&B entrepreneurs, a growing sector in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. At its core, this deal expands digital access to financing for SMEs, thereby powering economic transformation in the region and supporting the ambitions of food business owners.

Through the Biz2X® digital platform, food businesses that are part of the Watermelon ecosystem will have access to business financing to fuel their growth. Biz2X will generate funding offers for businesses that use the Watermelon platform.

Businesses that use the platform to purchase ingredients and inventory for their restaurants or other food business will be prequalified for access to capital to simplify their purchases, increasing average order value and making transactions more efficient. Merchants that are selling inventory and other goods or services through the Watermelon Ecosystem will be able to finance their outstanding invoices, ensuring they can reinvest faster in their business growth.

Platform financing offers are based on Biz2X’s leading underwriting technology using proprietary data about merchant transaction history derived from purchasing behavior by Watermelon’s clients.

“This deal pairs Biz2X’s leading financing technology platform with Watermelon's digital ecosystem of restaurateurs and other F&B entrepreneurs,” said Omar AlShamsi, founder of Watermelon Ecosystem. “Together, we will support digital access to financing for SMEs to power economic transformation and food security in the region while we support the ambitions of business owners.”

“Thanks to our partnership with Biz2X and its award-winning digital lending technology, food business owners in our ecosystem will have unmatched financial resources to support their growth,” he added.

Key benefits of this partnership:

  • Fast Access to Capital for Merchants: Merchants in Watermelon’s ecosystem gain fast access to financing options through Biz2X’s embedded financing platform, with loan processing times as fast as 24 to 48 hours depending on the lender.
  • Data-Driven Finance Offers: The Biz2X® platform uses a merchant’s history of processing transactions with Watermelon to prequalify them for financing, minimizing document requests and expediting approvals.
  • Seamless Invoice Financing Process: Merchants that want to finance outstanding invoices will enjoy a fast and seamless loan onboarding process, facilitated by the integration of Biz2X’s lending solutions within Watermelon’s platform.
  • Multi-Lender Finance Ecosystem: Merchants will be matched with top offers from multiple lenders, including various banks and alternative finance providers.
  • End-to-End Loan Lifecycle Management: Lenders gain access to continuous digital monitoring of their active loan portfolios, enhancing regulatory compliance and minimizing risk exposure.

MENA lenders that partner with Biz2X can now offer financing thanks to this embedded finance partnership. By leveraging Biz2X’s digital underwriting platform, these lenders, including banks, non-bank lenders and fintechs, can establish customized credit parameters and underwriting guidelines. With access to Biz2X’s comprehensive data ecosystem, they can quickly obtain detailed financial transaction data for each applying merchant, expediting precise credit decisions. This is the latest in a series of Biz2X embedded finance partnerships in the Middle East, highlighting the platform’s wide impact globally.

“Embedded finance for SMEs is the future. Through our Biz2X® platform, we provide timely access to capital with less friction so that businesses can purchase the inventory they need with confidence,” said Rohit Arora, CEO of Biz2X, a subsidiary of Biz2Credit. “Business owners no longer have to wait until they have cash on hand in order to purchase things they need to operate and grow.”

“Vertical software companies like Watermelon see the value of delivering a complete client experience that includes access to financing to fuel their clients’ success. Watermelon is a partner with an excellent business in the food & beverage space. We are proud to empower their merchants with financing that fuels growth,” Arora added.
