Archimedes is a defunct decentralized lending and leveraged-yield protocol that was wound down after its DAO passed AIP-5, directing users to withdraw funds. Archimedes's Twitter Score is 25 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #39,542 (top 10%) among 486,621 tracked accounts.
Archimedes was co-founded by Oz Rabinovitch, Tomer Mayara, and Derek Moen as an experimental platform for lending, borrowing, and leveraged exposure to yield-bearing stablecoin strategies. Built on automated market makers including Curve, the protocol allowed liquidity providers to earn yield while leverage takers could access amplified positions. A distinctive feature was that each leveraged position was packaged as a transferable NFT. ARCH, the protocol's utility and governance token, had a fixed supply of 100,000,000 tokens on Ethereum.
Archimedes raised a $2.4 million pre-seed round led by Shima Capital in March 2022, followed by a $4.9 million seed round led by Hack VC in February 2023. Additional backers included Halborn, Simplex, Cogitent Ventures, nfr ventures, BitScale, Kesha Ventures, Uncorrelated Ventures, Truffle Ventures, Haven VC, Psalion, and Palsar. Origin Protocol had previously served as a launching partner. Archimedes has been active on Twitter since 2021 and has published 3,731 posts, with 13,835 followers as of September 2026.
