Building this has been a blast. We've found a ton of high-impact bugs: webkit, nodejs, ruby, L1s, and many many more. Currently #1 on the hackerone business leaderboard! AI offsec tooling stopped being speculative a while ago. Attackers are most certainly abusing it. You should be too. cantina.security/ @cantinasecurity

We spent years finding vulnerabilities before attackers did. That was the easy part. Teams already know what's broken. Nobody has the bandwidth to close it. Today we raised $16.5M to make Cantina the security workforce for your security workforce. cantina.review/next-chapter-…

Introducing Bundle, the world’s first networked rewards platform. We raised $5.5m pre-seed to pursue our mission of transforming how businesses reward customers. Led by @etherealvc and @further. Round included @nascent, @GSR_io, @SceniusCapital, @Anchorage and @nuwacapital.

Ground is expanding beyond crypto-native yield into tokenized real-world assets, and we're strengthening our leadership team to match this growth. Tokenized treasuries, AAA CLO strategies, and crypto basis strategies are now live in the same API alongside crypto-native yield sources. We've partnered with @centrifuge and @SuperstateInc to bring on RWAs managed by @JHIAdvisors, @InvescoUS, and @Bitwise, giving clients one integration point for the full spectrum of liquid, risk-adjusted yield: - Bitwise Crypto Carry Fund (USCC), tokenized by Superstate - Invesco Short Duration US Government Securities Fund (USTB), tokenized by Superstate - Janus Henderson Treasury Fund (JTRSY), tokenized by Centrifuge - Janus Henderson AAA CLO Fund (JAAA), tokenized by Centrifuge

We’ve raised a seed round led by @variantfund! With participation from @nascent, @preludexyz, @cbventures, @lattice_fund, @veryearlyxyz, and @daedalus_angels.

Introducing Ground, the Money Infrastructure Company, supercharging banking and finance. We have been quiet, building with design partners. Today, we launched out of stealth, alongside a $3.6 million pre-seed funding round, to embed onchain finance everywhere, starting with yield. Ground turns any stablecoin or cash balance into a yield-bearing balance through one API. One integration provisions wallets, deploys into configurable on-chain yield sources, and emits ledger-ready accounting your end-user UI and internal systems can use on day one. The bar is fintech UX, not blockchain UX. Yield should feel like a native balance feature, not a gas-and-retries engineering project. You pick allocations, set policies, and stay in control of funds. Ground hides blockchains and complex onchain mechanics. Built for any financial platform or asset manager like neobanks, fintechs, corporate treasuries, and wealth managers. Founded by fintech and digital asset veterans from @stripe, @SuperstateInc, @hifihq, and @compoundfinance. Backed by @BainCapCrypto, @paraficapital, @nascent , @robotventures, @chapterone, and Consonant Ventures. - @rmcuming, CEO and @realsamyoon, CTO

We’ve raised $8.7M to bring clearing to the masses. Our new round was led by Blockchange to work on the most powerful idea in finance. It’s not just about moving money faster & cheaper; it’s about moving less while doing more.

LIVE NOW - The $280 Million DeFi Exploit That Changes Crypto Forever A $280 Million DeFi exploit exposed the hidden fragility of crypto’s most trusted systems. @delitzer and @odysseas_eth break down: - how the attack happened, - why bridge risk and protocol composability made the damage so severe, - what Arbitrum’s intervention means for immutability, - and why DeFi now needs an aerospace-grade security mindset to survive the AI era.

If you want institutions using onchain credit, vibes don't cut it. They need frameworks. Collateral policy. Monitoring. Reporting. Governance. @BirchHill_io gets that institutions follow risk models, not narratives. @Nascent backed.

dan elitzer talks about @nascent “we invest in typically pre seed and seed stage, so usually when we write our cheque into a company, they do not have a product live yet”

FULL CONVERSATION w/ Dan Elitzer, Co-Founder of Nascent, Dan Smith, Senior Research Analyst at Blockworks Recorded LIVE at Solana Breakpoint 2025
