This week, we’re excited to spotlight Lys Labs, a cutting-edge data infrastructure company solving one of Solana’s biggest challenges by making sense of chaotic onchain data. Co-founded by Andra, a crypto veteran with over eight years of experience at 1inch and Origin Protocol, Lys is on a mission to transform raw blockchain events into meaningful context. By combining advanced data technology with high-performance infrastructure, Lys is building the foundation for agents, bots, and algorithmic systems to thrive in the world of internet capital markets.

Q & A with Lys 👇

¿Podrías presentarte indicándonos tu nombre, tu experiencia previa y el cargo que ocupas actualmente en tu empresa? Además, explica brevemente cuál es la misión de tu empresa y qué ofrece a sus clientes.

My name is Andra, and I am a co-founder at LYS Labs. I’ve been in crypto for 8+ years, and in the early days, I mostly worked with infrastructure developers. I then joined 1inch as head of Growth and moved on to Origin Protocol, where I helped with their DeFi pivot and covered institutional sales.

Our mission is to build the invisible infrastructure that creates meaning in the world of chaotic Solana data. We want to enable builders to extract context from data and not rely on meaningless raw data points, so they can feed it into their agents, bots and other algorithmic systems. Our long-term mission is to become the operating system for machines in the world of internet capital markets.

¿Cómo ha crecido y cambiado su empresa desde su creación, y qué planes tiene para su futuro?

We initially started building a yield protocol on EVM, but as we progressed, we ended up focusing on Solana data as it was a bigger and more lucrative challenge. Along the way we kept on iterating based on market feedback and we have added multiple synergistic products to our roadmap. One such addition is LYS Flash which is our smart relay engine for Solana tx’s with 0-1 finality and 99% success rate. We have even more exciting things we want to build as internet capital markets expand and bigger players come to Solana.

What inspired you to develop LYS Protocol, and how did you conceive the idea?

We built LYS Labs as a solution to our data problems. When we were building the AI-powered yield protocol we realized how poor data was from existing providers. It simply wasn’t enough to truly build AI on-chain. Given that our technical co-founder has plehty of data expertise, we decided to build our own solution and eventually to focus on it long-term. We ended up bringing more talented people on our team who pushed us to optimize the stack even further and eventually we ended up bringing the most cutting-edge data tech in Web2 into Web3.

Can you provide insight into LYS Protocol’s progress by sharing any metrics or milestones indicating its traction?
