Surf builds an AI research and intelligence platform purpose-trained for digital assets, positioning itself as a crypto-specialized alternative to general-purpose AI tools. The platform ingests social sentiment, on-chain activity, and token and market behavior to produce structured crypto research reports that would typically require experienced analysts. Surf 2.0 introduces a more advanced model, expanded proprietary datasets, and new agents designed to execute multi-step research workflows autonomously. Founded in 2025 and based in San Francisco, Surf raised $15M with Pantera Capital leading and Coinbase Ventures and Digital Currency Group participating, capital earmarked for building out its crypto-native model and agentic research capabilities. Surf sits in the AI-for-crypto-research category, applying domain-specialized AI to the noisy, fast-moving digital-asset markets.
