Saber Labs was co-founded by Ian Macalinao and Dylan Macalinao. The organization raised a $7.7 million equity seed round announced in July 2021, led by Race Capital with participation from Social Capital, Jump Capital, Multicoin Capital, and the Solana Foundation, per public reporting at the time.
Saber Labs contributed to Tribeca and Quarry, developer infrastructure tools supporting projects across the Solana ecosystem. The SBR token was introduced to allow users to participate in and govern the Saber protocol. In January 2023, CoinDesk reported that the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Ian and Dylan Macalinao and seeking information about crypto projects associated with Saber, though neither founder nor Saber Labs had been charged or convicted at the time of that report. CoinDesk also reported that the Macalinao founders used pseudonymous identities to create interlocking DeFi products that artificially inflated Solana total-value-locked figures. As of January 2023, per CoinDesk, Saber continued to operate with Ian Macalinao maintaining its infrastructure, though its Discord server was largely inactive. The official Saber documentation was last updated in November 2023.
