About Alcyone

The advisory practice of TrustSwap.

Alcyone exists because the largest projects on TrustSwap’s platforms kept asking the same question: what would you do if this were yours? This is the practice that answers it, built on six years of running Web3 businesses through two market cycles.

The name

Why Alcyone.

In Greek myth, Alcyone is the figure behind the word halcyon: the calm days each winter when the kingfisher nests on a still sea and the storms hold off. She is also the brightest star in the Pleiades, the cluster sailors once steered by. Both meanings describe what we try to be for clients: steady judgement through market cycles, and a fixed point to navigate by.

Our mark is a kingfisher's dive, a single stroke breaking a still water line.

TrustSwap

The company behind the practice.

TrustSwap has run Web3 infrastructure continuously since 2020, through two full market cycles. Team Finance is where more than forty thousand projects manage token locks, vesting and staking across twenty-seven blockchains. The TrustSwap Launchpad has taken more than eighty projects to market and raised more than one hundred million dollars for them. The Crypto App is a portfolio, news and discovery application with more than five million downloads. Panthea, TrustSwap's institutional business, provides custody, treasury and OTC execution with Swiss custody by Blockfort.

Alcyone is the advisory practice of that group. The platforms are not the point of an engagement. They are the reason our partners know this market from the inside, at every layer, through two cycles. Advice is given on the merits, and our tools are used only where they serve it. TrustSwap is headquartered in Abu Dhabi with a team across four continents.
