Interface Labs

Interface Labs, operating as interface.social, is a Portugal-based company founded in 2022 by Thomas Garay and Guillaume Dekerle that is developing a social exploration platform for the Ethereum blockchain. The company aims to address the complexity and fragmented nature of the Web3 space by providing a unified, human-readable interface. Instead of focusing on cryptic wallet addresses, the platform centers on the individuals behind them, aggregating all their on-chain activities—such as assets owned, events attended, and content created—into a coherent social feed.

The development of Interface Labs began in February 2022, initially financed through a community crowdfunding campaign on Mirror that raised 50 ETH, equivalent to over $150,000. This initial funding demonstrated early community belief in the project's vision to build a more accessible Web3 experience. Subsequently, in August 2023, the company secured $1.4 million in a seed funding round. The round was co-led by Polymorphic Capital and Mask Network, with participation from Seed Club, Caballeros Capital, the Safe Ecosystem Foundation, and several angel investors.

The core of Interface Labs' offering is a mobile application, available for both iOS and Android, that functions as a social companion for Ethereum users. The platform aggregates a user's wallet activity from various sources, including different chains, protocols, and dapps, and translates this data into an understandable social feed. Key features include the ability to follow any wallet, discover new people and investment opportunities, and explore DAOs and projects. The app integrates multiple social graphs, such as Lens, and supports functionalities like discovering common NFT holders, viewing POAP event attendance, reading articles from Mirror, and messaging other wallets via XMTP. By organizing disparate on-chain transactions into a cohesive narrative, Interface seeks to lower the barrier to entry for newcomers and enhance the social dimension for existing crypto participants.

The business operates in the growing Web3 social market, targeting both seasoned crypto enthusiasts and newcomers looking for a more intuitive way to navigate the ecosystem. The platform empowers creators by offering them a new distribution channel for their on-chain work, helping them reach a broader audience. For users, it serves as a discovery tool for content and connections aligned with their interests. While the specific revenue model is still evolving, the founders have expressed long-term plans to build a sustainable, open-source, public-goods DAO that generates revenue for token holders, suggesting a future move towards a decentralized governance and value capture model.
