Blockaid is a web3 security company that acts as a real-time trust layer for onchain finance, simulating and validating blockchain transactions before they execute to stop scams, drainers, exploits, fraud, and compliance risks. Its detection engines are embedded inside major wallets, exchanges, and protocols - including Coinbase, MetaMask, Uniswap, Stellar, and OKX - screening hundreds of millions of transactions a month and protecting hundreds of billions of dollars in digital assets. Founded in 2022 by former Israeli cyber-intelligence operators, the New York- and Tel Aviv-based company has raised roughly $89 million and is expanding from consumer wallet protection into institutional compliance infrastructure.
