He also co-founded Fini, the project that grew out of his original Finiliar concept.
Ed Fornieles first developed the Finiliar concept in 2016, creating characters that used external data feeds to shift mood in response to currency movements. That same year he created Crypto Certs, hybrid physical-digital assets whose sales directed funds into an Ethereum contract intended to finance future artwork. The Finiliar genesis collection eventually expanded into 10,000 living NFTs across ten families, each tied to the market data of a distinct blockchain network including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, and others. Finiliar Studios raised $500,000 in a pre-seed round backed by IDEO CoLab Ventures, Wave Financial, and angel investors, per public reporting on the raise.
