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.
Itamar Apelblat is the co-founder and CEO of Token Security, a cybersecurity company focused on securing non-human identities (NHIs) - the service accounts, API tokens, workloads, and AI agents that now vastly outnumber human users inside enterprises. A veteran of Israel's Unit 8200 with more than 15 years in cybersecurity, he founded Token Security in 2023 with Ido Shlomo after encountering a forgotten contractor service account that still had full access to a company's systems. The company emerged from stealth in 2024 and raised a $20M Series A in January 2025, relocating its headquarters to New York as enterprises race to secure the machine-first, AI-agent era.
