New CEO, new board, and one mandate: make SQD the default data layer for institutions, not just Web3.
Today we're repositioning SQD around enterprise and institutional clients. There's a new executive team, a new board, and the technology that made us the leading onchain data layer is now aimed at a far bigger market.
The product that won Web3 is the same product institutions need. We're bringing it to them.
Why now
Capital markets, asset managers and AI systems are all moving onchain, and they keep running into the same problem. They need fast, verifiable, always-on blockchain data at scale, and most of them can't build it themselves. The centralised options are slow, expensive and prone to failure.
SQD already solves this in production. This move is about meeting the institutions arriving at that wall and becoming what they build on.
The team
Wanja S. Oberhof joins as Chief Executive Officer, bringing an operator's discipline and a deep capital-markets perspective to SQD's next phase.
Robert Jung, formerly a partner at EY, joins as Head of Transformation to lead the company's institutional scaling, with more than two decades of experience in transformation and operational growth.
Marcel Fohrmann, founder of SQD, continues to drive protocol and ecosystem development, keeping the technical foundation that got us here at the centre of where we go next.
The board
The newly constituted board spans crypto, capital markets, AI and internet investing:
- Davey Airey, Chairman, cofounder of Boost By Banter
- Dr. Marcel Reichart. Rezolve AI
- Jordi Alexander, founder and CIO of Selini
- Sebastian Weiss, founder of RaceBets
- Jesus Martinez. AI and crypto markets analyst
- Clemens Jakopitsch. Director of Digital Assets, Piëch Family Office
- Dr. Dimitrii Zhelezov. Co-Founder and CTO, Subsquid Labs
The momentum behind the move
This lands on a foundation of real, accelerating adoption:
- 1.4 petabytes of data served per day, an all-time high, up from 240 terabytes per day in February 2026
- 225+ networks indexed through a single streaming API
- Production infrastructure powering protocols managing over $11 billion in total value locked
Protocols holding that kind of capital don't run on data they can't trust. That's the bar SQD already clears.
What our partners are saying
"SQD has built the most credible onchain data infrastructure in the market. Our job now is to make it the obvious choice for institutional clients beyond Web3. With this team and this board, we have the operating discipline and the network to do exactly that.". Wanja S. Oberhof, CEO, SQD
"SQD has built the technical backbone for the next generation of onchain finance, and the numbers prove it. We're excited about the new team taking SQD into its institutional phase. Wanja brings exactly the operating discipline and capital-markets perspective this moment requires, and we look forward to a long and productive partnership.". Dan Wagner, CEO, Rezolve AI
What comes next
The enterprise rollout is already underway, with several institutional engagements moving through the commercial pipeline.
The direction is straightforward. If it touches onchain data, it should run on SQD: validated, real-time, across 225+ networks, through one API. That's what Morpho, GMX, PancakeSwap, RAILGUN, zkVerify and Deutsche Telekom already rely on, and it's what the next wave will rely on too.
