Chronicle Protocol was born.Chronicle continues to service MakerDAO and now, for the first time, is rolling out its on-chain Oracle services to support the wider Web3 world.Chronicle Protocol has been developed to solve many of the current pain points of on-chain Oracles and DeFi.

Through developing a proprietary solution called Scribe, the team at Chronicle has built a blockchain-agnostic, ubiquitously accessible, scalable, end-to-end verifiable, and decentralized Oracle. The protocol’s unique architecture enables an ecosystem that delivers 100% decentralization and transparency. Every byte of data can be traced back to each Feed’s original data source queries, and new Oracles can be deployed (and updated) with the click of a button on the Chronicle Dashboard.Inspired by Ancient Greece’s Herodotus (the Father of History), Chronicle Protocol aims to be the world’s first open and verifiable data chronicler. Transparency, democracy, and accessibility are the columns on which Chronicle has built its temple, and industry-leading scalability, integration, and security are the features that power the protocol.Verifiable data, accessible to all - delivered securely and affordably.

Paris Hilton Angel · Beverly Hills, California, United States · 2 investments in the past 12 months
Since starring in The Simple Life, Paris Hilton has built a global empire from the ground up as a businesswoman, influencer, activist, DJ, designer, investor, recording artist, philanthropist, host, actress, chef, model and author. In 2001, Variety declared Paris Hilton a “Billion Dollar Entrepreneur.” In 2006, she created Paris HiltonEntertainment (now known as 11:11 Media), a multi-billion-dollar company that started with 45 branded stores and 19 product lines, which have surpassed over $4 billion in revenue. She’s launched 27 fragrances globally and has won numerous accolades including the 2019 Best Mass Fragrance Award from WWD. Today, 11:11 Media is a global media platform with verticals covering TV (Slivington Manor Entertainment), audio (London Audio), digital (11:11 Digital), licensing, NFTs, impact and more. Always attuned to emerging trends and opportunities, Hilton continues to expand 11:11 Media and use her platform to inspire, empower and create lasting positive impact.Through Hilton’s production company, Slivington Manor Entertainment, and a multi-year partnership with Warner Bros., Hilton released Cooking with Paris (a new twist on a cooking show; released on Netflix in August 2021), released Paris in Love (a docu-series covering Hilton’s life leading up to and including her wedding; released on Peacock in November 2021) and is in development on various other TV projects. Hilton’s podcasting and audio company, London Audio, is underpinned by a multi-year partnership with iHeartMedia. Hilton hosts her own podcast, This is Paris, and recently launched a new podcast, Trapped in Treatment, that exposes the troubled teen industry. As an investor, Hilton is committed to supporting and investing in the next generation of entrepreneurs and building a strong investment portfolio (with a focus on female entrepreneurs and companies positively impacting the world) that includes companies such as Daily Harvest, R3SET, Viome, Origin Protocol, Genies, Good Catch, Zen Water, Yat, Podz, and many more. Hilton has also solidified herself as an NFT leader as was recently seen by her being named #7 on Fortunes’ 50 most influential people in NFTs, through being awarded “Winner of Best Charity NFT” at the 2020 NFT Awards and through her selling 25,000+ NFTs in her February 2022 “Paris: Past Lives, New Beginnings” NFT drop. In staying true to her goal of fostering empowerment and in collaboration with Sevens Foundation, Paris curated and launched “Empowered By Paris: Empowered Women Empower Women Exhibition”, which is an NFT exhibit dedicated to showcasing and equipping female artists with a platform to succeed. Paris also recently launched “Paris World” in Roblox, where more people showed up for Paris’ NYE ball drop in Paris World than Times Square!Through her powerful activism work, Hilton has spearheaded impactful policy change across the United States and abroad. In the critically acclaimed This is Paris YouTube Originals documentary (which has garnered over 46 million views to date), Hilton revealed the abuses she suffered as a teenager within the Troubled Teen Industry and has since dedicated her platform to reforming the industry. In one year, her vocal advocacy influenced the passage of U.S. state laws in California, Massachusetts, Missouri, Oregon, Utah, as well as a law in Northern Ireland. In partnership with Breaking Code Silence, a nonprofit whose goal is to eradicate the abuse of institutionalized children, Hilton was accepted by Rise Justice Labs, the world’s first civil rights accelerator, to develop the federal Accountability for Congregate Care Act that will positively impact 120,000 youth annually. Her participation in the #BreakingCodeSilence movement has significantly increased awareness of the Industry with a media reach valued at $77M in ad equivalency and the aggregate readership of articles referencing Paris & the cause at 41B. Hilton also recently received a grant from the Hilton Foundation to develop a novel mental health support model for impacted survivors. Philanthropy is an important part of Hilton’s life and will continue to be a principal pillar of her platform.This is just the start for Paris Hilton and 11:11 Media. Paris and her team will continue to elevate with purpose and contribute to society by creating thought provoking, impactful, premium entertainment experiences and products. Whether it is Paris World, inventive new NFT drop formats, a beauty product line, a cookware/kitchen product line, or new TV shows and podcasts, 11:11 Media is poised to impress and will be a company to watch.

Marc Weinstein Angel · Greater Los Angeles Area, California, United States
I graduated from Wharton with a BSc in Economics and began my career as an investment banker. In 2012, I left my cushy job at Morgan Stanley to begin an entrepreneurial adventure. My first startup, TINCO, was a financial services business created to protect investors from the purchasing power destruction of then-unprecedented quantitative easing.Although TINCO failed, it led me to purchase my first Bitcoin in 2013.While building TINCO, I started an advisory business called Satya Management to serve start-ups in the consumer, media & entertainment, and wellness industries.Through a client, I fell in love with the live events industry and decided to start my 2nd company, 90sFest. 90sFest was a live events platform catered to millennials that pioneered the convergence of experiential marketing with mass social media distribution. We sold 90sFest to Scopus Media in 2017.It was at this time that I was hired to try to salvage the now infamous Fyre Festival. Many who saw the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary, Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, have called me the “voice of reason.”After Fyre, I saw that my bitcoin investment returned 20x my principal and began deep research on the cryptocurrency industry. I later became Principal at a blockchain-focused venture fund called Wave Financial. I left Wave Financial in 2019 to strike out on my own and continue to advise, coach, and invest in leading entrepreneurs.I once again fell in love with an industry – sustainable agriculture – and now lead business development at Steward.
