Building the Infrastructure for On-Chain Finance
Compass Labs provides the missing execution, monitoring, and data infrastructure to make on-chain finance simple, modular, and scalable.
Building the Infrastructure for On-Chain Finance
The vision of on-chain finance is simple: faster, more transparent, and more accessible financial products. But realizing that vision has been anything but simple. Over the past decade, blockchains have transformed what’s possible in financial markets — yet too often, the infrastructure to build and operate these products is still missing.
Stablecoins are a perfect example. Today, they [drive over a third of DeFi revenue](https://keyrock.com/onchain-value-stablecoins-now-drive-over-a-third- of-defi-revenue/) and have become the base layer for trading, lending, and treasury management. But beyond just transfers, stablecoins are also becoming a foundation for new financial products that integrate seamlessly with on- chain liquidity. But the infrastructure to create and manage these products remains fragmented and complex.
At Compass Labs, we’re solving this. Our
API abstracts away
blockchain complexity and provides a single interface for execution,
monitoring, and data access. It’s the layer that developers, funds, and
platforms need to create robust financial products, without building everything from scratch.
Why Infrastructure Matters
When we talk about financial products, we’re really talking about infrastructure. Trading firms and custodians aren’t looking for a blockchain, they’re looking for reliable rails to move capital, manage risk, and operate at scale. In traditional markets, that infrastructure is mature and invisible. In on-chain finance, it’s still being built.
We’re making it simple and modular. With Compass Labs, you don’t need to worry about smart contract logic, encoding transactions, or integrating new protocols. Our API handles that. You get the building blocks to focus on what matters: your strategy and your edge.
The Modular Approach
Compass API is built for flexibility. Our API is modular, so users can plug in only the components they need, whether that’s one-click execution of DeFi trades, real-time position monitoring, or access to granular blockchain data.
This modularity is about more than convenience. It lowers the barrier to entry for building new financial products and strategies that were previously too complex or costly to bring to market.
Looking Ahead
We believe that on-chain finance will be a cornerstone of the next decade’s financial system. But it needs better infrastructure to scale.
At Compass Labs, we’re bringing the simplicity and speed of Web2 to on-chain finance. Our API is already helping institutional partners bring their strategies to life, and we’re excited to see what others will build on top of it.
If you’re working at the intersection of finance and blockchains, or thinking about what on-chain finance could look like for your platform, we’d love to hear from you.
