We’re so delighted to share that we’ve closed our $3M seed funding round, led by 1kx, with participation from HashKey Capital, SNZ, Panga Capital, Dedaub, GoPlus Security and our angel investors! 

It’s been 1+ year since we released ItyFuzz with the idea to develop automated security solutions that will better serve the Web3 community. Today, we have a dedicated team comprising professors and PhDs from esteemed uni programs to create reliable tools for devs, traders, MEV bots, and auditors to quickly and accurately analyze any smart contracts using fuzzing, AI, formal verification and distributed computing infrastructure.

And it doesn’t stop there. We have a vision to build the most comprehensive distributed computing network for smart contract analysis, and today's announcement takes us closer to that goal. We will be announcing a series of products coming in the near future, so stay tuned! 

Hear from our co-founder Chaofan Shou 🚀about our journey and what’s next for FuzzLand here : https://lnkd.in/gTbpWm3T.

We're thrilled to support Laszlo S. and Kiln team on their journey.

This news marks an exciting milestone in the teams' global expansion efforts & commitment to democratize value creation in the digital assets ecosystem. 

Congratulations, Kiln! 🔥👏

Exchange-traded products (ETPs) offer investors a convenient, regulated, and low-cost way to invest in a range of underlying - including crypto. 

Since the launch of the first Bitcoin tracker in 2015, crypto ETPs have expanded from Europe to increasing availability worldwide, and from just 17 products at the end of 2020 to circa 180 today. With all eyes on the potential US spot bitcoin ETF approvals this week, I share some historical, operational, and regional context in 1kx's latest research piece, a deep dive into crypto ETPs.

If you’re working in the crypto ETP or asset management space, I’d love to chat!

Thank you to Frances Edwards, Jonathan Bier (FCA), Dev B, Wei Dai, and Robert Koschig for your input and review of drafts!

🌟✨We have exciting news to share as we usher in the new year. 1kx is thrilled to announce the d/infra Summit, taking place this Feb 27 in Denver, CO. 

Designed in the spirit of d/acc, a concept pioneered by Vitalik in his take on "Techno-optimism," d/infra Summit explores new approaches to trust-minimized, decentralized, resilient, and defensive digital infrastructure. We challenge the notion that conscious building requires slowing down. Instead, we advocate for the adoption of trust-minimization via blockchain technology to fuel rapid, fearless innovation. 

📝💡 If you are a builder or researcher interested in learning more about trust-minimized technology and promoting its adoption, this event is for you. For participants interested in submitting research presentations and workshop proposals, check out dinfra.xyz to learn more about this event and how to get involved.
