NGC Ventures

Check: No personal or firm ticket is disclosed on NGC's site. Zi's partner title, accelerator mentorship and infrastructure responsibilities show meaningful technical involvement but do not prove a standard range or unilateral decision authority.

Zi focuses on blockchain infrastructure from research through live network operation. He evaluates execution bottlenecks, layer-2 and appchain architecture, EVM compatibility and parallel processing, while StakeX exposes him to validator operations across networks such as NYM, Algorand, SKALE and Avalanche. The result is a practical lens on whether protocol performance claims survive testnets, incentives and production operations.

Check: No personal check range or current investment authority is published.
