Andalusia Labs is an applied research lab building internet-native economic infrastructure, achieving unicorn status in just 10 months - one of the fastest in history.
The company's flagship initiative is OpenGDP, a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin payments and asset tokenization. OpenGDP enables entire economies to become programmable at internet scale, providing institution-grade infrastructure with parallel EVM architecture and advanced security features. The platform delivers three core capabilities: stablecoin settlement (for payouts, collections, merchant flows, and treasury movement), tokenization (for issuing stable value instruments and real-world assets with lifecycle management), and intelligence (privacy, policy, and orchestration layer for institutions and autonomous agents).
Andalusia Labs brings together a small, high-impact team of researchers, engineers, and technologists who have shipped AI, fintech, and crypto products at leading organizations including Coinbase, Google, AWS, Microsoft, X, TikTok, Goldman Sachs, and high-frequency trading firms. The company is backed by premier investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Mubadala (Abu Dhabi Sovereign Wealth Fund), Coinbase Ventures, Bain Capital Crypto, Pantera Capital, Framework Ventures, Digital Currency Group, as well as industry luminaries Naval Ravikant (AngelList founder), Arthur Hayes, and executives from Founders Fund, Alchemy, and other globally leading organizations.
OpenGDP introduces institutional-grade shared security - a novel blockchain security primitive allowing users and institutions to provide shared security using premium blue-chip crypto assets (Bitcoin, Ethereum) and real-world assets. The OpenGDP Network Stack (ONS) delivers flexible, performant architecture enabling rapid creation of blockchain networks with zero inflation, leveraging shared security and robust validator sets to ensure censorship resistance and proper network operations. The platform achieves ~400ms settlement finality (P95), $0.01 median payment cost, and has processed over 10 million payments in 30 days.
OpenGDP serves three primary customer segments: Fintechs requiring production payment infrastructure with comprehensive APIs, SDKs, webhooks, and reconciliation tools; Institutions needing institution-grade infrastructure with compliance hooks, controls, and reporting capabilities; and Governments requiring sovereign payment rails for disbursements, collections, and procurement with national security-grade controls.
Andalusia Labs represents a unique combination of world-class engineering talent, institutional backing, and rapid execution. As one of the fastest companies to achieve unicorn status, the team has demonstrated exceptional ability to ship complex blockchain infrastructure at scale. The company's institutional-grade security model, proven performance metrics, and comprehensive developer tooling position OpenGDP as enterprise-ready infrastructure for the next generation of programmable economies.
