Unto Labs

Unto Labs is a team of low-level engineers pushing distributed systems to the physical limits of modern hardware. We're reimagining blockchains, from core consensus primitives to performance-tuned networking stacks, in the service of global scale applications. Founded by Jump Crypto alumni and core contributors to the Solana protocol and the Firedancer client, we're tackling fundamental scalability, performance, and usability challenges in distributed ledgers. Our runtime conforms to the RISC-V specification—moving away from domain-specific VMs, DSLs, and bespoke compiler toolchains that limit developer and institutional adoption. Components are developed in C for maximal control over performance and resource usage. We believe in pushing boundaries and solving complex problems at the intersection of hardware and software. Our team consists of experts from high-frequency trading and scaling developer ecosystems, bringing a unique perspective to blockchain technology. We're building the foundation for next-generation blockchains that can process millions of transactions per second while maintaining security and decentralization principles. Our approach combines academic rigor with practical engineering to create systems that can scale to meet the demands of global applications. We're committed to open-source development and community collaboration, ensuring our solutions benefit the broader ecosystem.
