We own and operate solver infrastructure.

We operate Kaisersolver on CoW Protocol and build the open source software beneath it, from node tooling to backtesting. We track everything we learn and use it to expand the solver space, and the infrastructure behind it, for the teams that come next.

BACKGROUND

In crypto since 2017

Fiftysix was founded by Daniel Peter, who has spent nine years building the kind of infrastructure the company now operates. He was co-founder and CEO of Capsule, has worked with Visa, Lido and Quantstamp, and has been quoted in Fortune on Bitcoin Ordinals.

“Three things I grew up with and still work by. If you do something, do it right. Good isn’t good enough. Don’t take anything for granted.” – Daniel Peter, Founder of Fiftysix

HOW WE WORK

What you can hold us to

If you have an engine and no company behind it, or liquidity that should be reaching CoW traders, this is what you get from us.

Get in touch

Ours

When something breaks, the cost lands on us, not on you.

Learn

We track what we learn and grow the solver space with it.

Peers

We would rather get there with people than ahead of them.
