What Valence does

Valence Digital, Inc. is a New York-based privately held company founded in 2021 that has undergone a material strategic repositioning. First-party company materials describe the business as a data infrastructure company providing a data network platform with five integrated capabilities — data onboarding, monitoring, querying, valuation, and monetization — designed to enable data exchange across federated or centralized systems. The company has historically offered consumer-facing blockchain applications, including a digital asset wallet for managing cryptocurrency holdings and an NFT marketplace for trading digital collectibles, as evidenced by Terms of Use referencing blockchain-based products and public key addresses. An R&D sub-brand called ValenceLabs operates as an internal think tank focused on cryptography, encryption techniques, and open-source advocacy.

In 2024 the company underwent a rebranding with a new website, and in May 2025 it partnered with the Cloud Security Alliance to publish the "State of SaaS Security" report, signaling a strategic pivot toward the enterprise SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) market with a stated specialization in OAuth risk management. The business model combines subscription-based enterprise SaaS security platform revenue (per the SSPM positioning) with consumer-facing blockchain product offerings. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting organizations managing complex SaaS environments, with marketing executed through analyst partnerships and thought-leadership research publications.

The company operates with 11-50 employees, has no disclosed funding rounds, no named institutional investors, no public revenue figures, and no confirmed customer logos. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is led by founders Adam Helfgott (CEO) and Christopher Vroom (co-founder).

Scale indicators5 records

Broad incumbents

• Infura (Consensys): Long-standing Ethereum and multi-chain RPC/API infrastructure provider used by developers to access blockchain data. Comparable as established Web3 infrastructure supporting data access and querying.
• Alchemy: Major blockchain developer platform providing node infrastructure, APIs, and data tools across many chains. A broad incumbent in the Web3 data/infrastructure category that overlaps with Valence's developer-facing data services.

Direct peers

• Ocean Protocol: Decentralized data exchange protocol that lets data owners tokenize, share, and monetize datasets. Directly comparable to Valence's data onboarding, valuation, and monetization capabilities, and serves the same 'network of networks' data-sharing thesis.
• Streamr: Decentralized real-time data infrastructure for pub/sub messaging and data streaming/monetization. Comparable to Valence in providing infrastructure that enables participants to publish, monitor, and be paid for data streams.
• The Graph: Indexing and query layer for blockchain and web3 data, serving developer demand for querying across federated, on-chain sources. Directly comparable to Valence's data-query pillar across federated or centralized systems.
• Fluree: Distributed ledger database company focused on trusted data sharing across organizations using semantic graph technology. Highly comparable to Valence's positioning around verifiable, federated data exchange.
• KYVE Network: Decentralized data infrastructure protocol for verifiable storage and querying of data, including blockchain datasets. Comparable as a Web3-native data onboarding, monitoring, and query layer.

Emerging players

• Space and Time: Hybrid data warehouse and blockchain-verified query layer aimed at enterprise and web3 customers needing trusted analytics. Comparable to Valence's verified data querying and federation story at a more enterprise/warehouse-centric angle.
