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.
Slingshot is a San Francisco-based crypto trading app that lets people buy, sell, and swap hundreds of thousands of tokens across multiple blockchains from a single USDC balance - hiding the usual friction of wallets, bridges, and gas fees behind a clean consumer interface. Founded in 2020 by Coinbase alum Clinton Bembry, it raised roughly $18M through a Ribbit Capital-led Series A and was acquired by NFT marketplace Magic Eden in April 2025.
