Key Takeaways:
- Commonware offers developers a flexible set of crypto primitives, avoiding traditional development constraints.
- Raised $9 million, signaling strong investor confidence in Patrick O’Grady’s vision from Haun Ventures and Dragonfly.
- Aims to improve developer and user experience by providing an “anti-framework” approach to blockchain development.
Patrick O’Grady, previously with Ava Labs, has unveiled Commonware, a new framework in the crypto space designed to serve as a collection of primitives or basic building blocks for blockchain development.
Commonware has secured $9 million in funding from Haun Ventures and Dragonfly to support its mission of providing developers with a more flexible toolkit.
Today's blockchain stack is designed to be a jack of all trades, but master of none.

Unlike traditional crypto stacks that developers must work around, Commonware allows for customization without predefined layers or security assumptions, offering an “anti-framework” where developers can mix and match primitives to suit their project needs.
This approach is intended to enhance both the developer experience and, by extension, the user experience in blockchain applications, tackling one of the main issues in crypto adoption: the complexity of current blockchain interfaces.
O’Grady’s initiative comes at a time when simplifying blockchain technology for developers and users is seen as crucial for broader adoption, evidenced by other platforms like Chainlink’s Runtime Environment and projects focusing on reducing entry barriers through familiar programming languages like Python.
