Although Blockchain projects remain vulnerable to electronic attacks, especially those targeting individual projects and bridges across the series.
In recent years, these weak sites have cost billions of industry. The new Octane in San Francisco believes that artificial intelligence can help stop bleeding.
In 2024, the infiltrators stole about $ 2.2 billion of encryption through exploits. Just four months after 2025, this number was almost almost almost identicalWhich confirms the urgency of the best security.
OCTANE was launched in 2023, led by software engineer and executive director of San Francisco Giovanni Vigneon, who believes the Blockchain industry is no longer able to withstand cybersecurity.
“Throughout my time in Crypto, I saw countless breaches and exploits. There is a big problem – more than that 11 billion dollars It has been discharged from the ecosystem. Decipher. “Although the teams spend $ 50,000 to $ 200,000 a year on Codes, the breakthroughs continue to happen.”
The growing electronic crime epidemic targeting the Blockchain LED Vignone space for the development Weaknesses As they write.
Octane is directly integrated into the GitHub pipeline, and it works continuously while developers write a symbol. It automatically summarizes API requests, potential flags signs, and helps the difference to determine early exploits, which increases their ability to fix critical errors and address low fame problems.
On Tuesday, Octane announced that it had closed a $ 6.7 million financing round to expand its operations. The tour was led by Winklevoss Capital and Crypto Investment Type, and the participants included Druid Ventures, Circle, Gemini, Legion Capital, Duke Capital Partners, among others.
“The importance of making encryption applications is more safe,” said Tyler Winkefos, one of the founders of Jimini. statement.
Vignone said that Octane was initially designed for solid programming language Ethereum virtual deviceAcceptable projects. The team plans to expand support for Solana And other Blockchains.
Looking at the future, Vignone said that the long-term Octane vision goes beyond hunting insects-after determining how security is integrated into the development process.
He said: “Our goal in Octane is to build the future of security by bringing each team to encrypting an Amnesty International – studied millions of exploits and data points – which specializes in determining weaknesses and assisting developers to sort them.”
