2025 will be a huge year for Haven1
With January now behind us, it’s the perfect time for me—Jeff Owens, the CEO of Haven1—to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had at Haven1 as we ramp up to the next phase of Mainnet and beyond. It’s going to be quite a year for us!
Feb 6, 2025

Fellow Havenauts: What a journey it has been!
Bear markets are tough times for anyone involved in crypto. During the previous downturn, we stuck to our fundamental mission of building Haven1 as the safest Web3 ecosystem, primed for DeFi 2.0 and tokenized RWAs, that connects secure protocols with businesses, institutions, and users keen to explore Web3.
We are excited to launch a public sale offering in partnership with Tokensoft to give our community and other crypto enthusiasts the opportunity to join the Haven1 journey. You can find full details of the offering over at the Tokensoft website here—clicking the link will require you to login using an EVM-compatible wallet and some restrictions will apply*
We’ve made incredible strides towards that goal, and I want to reflect on our milestones to commemorate our public sale with Tokensoft:
🌐 Scaled our community to more than 500,000 (half a million!) users
The Haven1 project is all about our community, and we are so proud to have crossed such an impressive milestone. KYC (know your customer) is a core part of what makes Haven1 a different type of blockchain ecosystem, one that’s built for its users from the ground up—we are so excited to unleash the potential with our upcoming mainnet launch.
⚒️ Welcomed over 60 protocols and partners who are building on the Haven1 network
A vibrant ecosystem needs builders and our vision for a blockchain that’s free from scams, hacks and rugpulls resonates with developers and projects that want to build lasting services that create genuine value.
💰 Raised more than $5 million from investors including Animoca Brands, Kucoin Ventures, Certik Ventures and more
Our vision has been validated by top-tier investors that include KuCoin Ventures, Taisu Ventures, GSG and a number of top industry figures who joined as angel investors. We look forward to announcing more of our backers in due course.
👥 Completed Completed an oversubscribed and sold-out private community round on Republic
The capital from our investors has been supplemented with a private community funding round that was hosted on Republic. We held this round because we want members of our community to have the opportunity to invest directly into Haven1, alongside venture capital funds and angels.
⛓ Onboarded nine (9) top-tier companies to run and grow Haven1 as validators, including Animoca Brands, Sygnum Bank, AWS, Nansen, WorldPay, Blockdaemon
Validators are key to the Haven1 operational model, and we are delighted to work with a range of well-known and highly regarded companies, including reputable Web3 names and others who are entering the space for the first time with us—that’s a massive validation for our plan.
🚀 Landed partnerships to list H1 on major exchanges, with deep liquidity from solid market makers
More details of our exchange partners will be forthcoming once we are in a position to announce updates following the launch of the Haven1 mainnet.
🏁 The final steps on the road to Mainnet in Q1
🔄 Powering through smart contract and bridge audits
🔄 The public offering on Tokensoft* which opens today
It’s been a wild ride, but this is just the beginning. There’s still plenty of work ahead, and we’re ready to face the challenges that come with launching Mainnet and beyond.
I hope the Year of the Snake brings you great fortune, health, and joy, and of course, thank you to all who've been part of this journey so far.
Here's to the next chapter of Haven1! 💪🏻
⚡️ Full Throttle, Havenauts
