Web3安全公司Firewall完成种子轮融资,开创“可编程性”安全防火墙

3 月 7 日,Web3安全初创公司 Firewall 宣布完成 370 万美元的种子轮融资,由 North Island Ventures、Breyer Capital 和 Hack VC 共同领投。Firewall 通过创新的共识机制,消除了智能合约网络的漏洞,从而改善了智能合约技术的可用性。

Firewall 的两位创始人曾是 Staked 编号第一和第六名员工,Staked 是一家质押公司,后来被 Kraken 收购。在过去的六年里,团队为机构客户提供了处理数十亿美元资金的基础设施,并利用他们的经验推动了 POS 和 DeFi 的发展。现在,创始人们凭借过往经验,正在解决大多数人认为是传统金融系统全面接受数字资产的最后一大障碍。

Firewall 的联合创始人 Devan Purhar 表示:“Firewall 正在建造使普通人能够使用下一代互联网的安全防护屏障。如今,数十亿美元被盗取,这些不可逆转的交易被归类为盗窃。当前的加密网络状态与早期互联网存在相似的问题,即缺乏必要的安全基础设施。我们的重点不是在安全行业的边缘进行改进,而是对区块链可用性的必要范式进行转变。我们从根本上设计了一个解决方案,并创造了可编程性。从根本上讲,我们让安全漏洞这个概念成为过去。”

Firewall 的技术引入了“可编程性”类似于传统网络防火墙的数字版本。它将 Rollups 扩展到使用可编程交易的最终化规则,这些规则充当自动检查点,在数据由 EigenDA 或 Celestia 等 DA 层最终确定前介入,阻止有害交易。创始人们设想 Firewall 将成为每个智能合约的一部分,作为一个嵌入式安全系统,智能地防范威胁。

Firewall 的联合创始人 Sam Mitchell 表示:“Firewall 使用实时算法在区块中预先过滤漏洞。然后,我们通过利用可编程性将自动绕过预过滤检查的漏洞进行修复。在这个阶段的检测可能涉及 AI 模型或 Social Consensus,所以会消耗较长时间。”Mitchell 还强调:“虽然管理数万亿资产的机构对智能合约的优势感兴趣,但需要一个安全的环境来投资,能为机构客户使用智能合约创造舒适感将是数字资产广泛采用的关键点。”

除了创始人,核心团队在 OpenZeppelin 和 Forta 成功地在加密威胁检测中利用人工智能,受到广泛的赞赏,并计划进一步利用 Firewall 的全面安全方法彻底改变安全领域。Firewall 的最初重点是在 Rollup 板块,并与构建非托管和无信任解决方案保持一致。这笔融资将帮助 Firewall 扩大团队,并创建一个社区来“构建 EVM 的防火墙”。长期计划包括开发协调机制,将 Social Layer 直接整合到 Firewall 中。

North Island Ventures 的管理合伙人 Travis Scher 表示:“我们认为,加密货币被主流采用的主要障碍是当前的安全范式,其中一个漏洞可能导致用户资金的全部损失。Firewall 的解决方案可以防止此类损失,我们很高兴从一开始就支持这样一家重要的公司。”

这轮融资由 North Island Ventures、Breyer Capital 和 Hack VC 共同领投,Finality Capital 和包括 Staked 的 Tim Ogilvie、Synthetix 的 Kain Warwick 和 Jordan Momtazi、Anchorage 的 Nathan McCauley 以及 AltLayer 的 Yaoqi Jia 在内的天使投资者参投。

Breyer Capital 的 Ted Breyer 表示:“Firewall 正在为用户、开发者和机构将区块链变得更安全。我们看到这将是提高智能合约效用的新时代,我们很高兴支持这个团队。”

随着比特币 ETF 和预期的以太坊 ETF 的推动,全球加密货币市场的正不断发展,并受到来自监管的压力,现在是加密网络成为“bulletproof”的时候了。数万亿美元仍在观望,害怕使用智能合约。Firewall 的“可编程性”有效地中和了漏洞,提供了解锁这些资产所需的安全保障,为加密货币改变全球金融系统铺平了道路。

关于 Firewall

Firewall 致力于通过解决智能合约漏洞,使智能合约技术在日常生活中安全使用。Firewall 采用类似于网络防火墙的解决方案,应用于模块化的区块链生态系统。

Two Giants' Credit Expansion: Loan Balances of $9.9 Billion vs. $14.6 Billion, Brazil Emerges as the Main Battlefield

Title: Two Giants "Credit" Surge: Loan Balances of 99 Billion vs. 146 Billion USD, Brazil Emerges as Main Battlefield Summary: The article compares the rapid expansion of credit businesses by two major e-commerce and fintech players, Sea (via Monee) and Mercado Libre (via Mercado Pago), in overseas markets like Southeast Asia and Latin America, contrasting with a slowing domestic Chinese credit market. Using Q1 2026 financial data, it highlights their significant growth. Sea's Monee reached a loan balance of $99 billion, up 71% year-over-year (YoY), contributing 17.5% to Sea's total revenue. Mercado Pago's loan balance hit $146 billion, up 87% YoY, contributing 45% to its parent company's revenue. Both maintained stable risk metrics (e.g., Monee's 90+ day NPL at 1.1%) despite rapid scaling. Brazil is identified as a key and accelerating growth market for both. Sea's Brazilian operations saw loan volumes exceed $10 billion, growing 250% YoY, with SPayLater GMV penetration still low (~10%) indicating high potential. Sea also secured a key Brazilian financial credit license (SCFI). Mercado Libre's Brazil segment contributed over half (54%) of total group revenue, with its credit business there generating $11.24 billion in revenue, up 89% YoY and accounting for 12.7% of global revenue. Mercado Pago's credit portfolio, especially credit cards (46% of loans, +105% YoY), is a strategic focus, described as crucial as building logistics was a decade ago. Its net interest margin after loss (NIMAL) remains high at 17.8%. The article concludes that while Brazil presents immense opportunities, the success is largely driven by these integrated "e-commerce + fintech" giants with proprietary transaction data and ecosystems, making it challenging for standalone fintech players to compete effectively.

Research Report Analysis: Is Intel Making a Comeback with Apple? Bernstein's Calculations Show the Right Direction, but the Price Is Already Overvalued

Bernstein analyst Stacy A. Rasgon published a report on June 18 regarding Intel, assessing the potential impact of recent political support for a US-based PC chip design and manufacturing collaboration between Apple and Intel. The report views this as a significant signal for the foundry landscape shift but concludes the initial financial contribution would be minimal. Key conclusions: 1) An Apple deal is seen as a small-scale "proof of concept." Even if Intel wins 40% of Apple's premium notebook chip orders (~5 million units/year), Bernstein estimates it would generate only about $500M in annual revenue and ~$0.03 EPS, negligible against Intel's ~$55B revenue. 2) Political encouragement is not equivalent to enforceable mandates. Winning orders ultimately depends on Intel demonstrating competitive technology (like its 18A node), cost, and reliable supply. 3) The path from validation to large-scale production involves significant challenges, capital investment, and time. Due to these uncertainties, Bernstein maintains a Market-Perform (Hold) rating with a $100 price target, implying potential downside from the ~$121.10 price at the report date. The analysis highlights the tension between near-term validation value—serving as a crucial trust signal for Intel's foundry ambitions and US supply chain resilience—and the long-term opportunity to attract larger cloud and AI chip customers. The investment thesis hinges on successful 18A execution and sustained policy support, not on immediate financial gains from Apple.

27-Year Reign Ends: SK Hynix Market Cap Surpasses Samsung for First Time, an AI-Driven Reshuffle of Korean Chip Power

On June 22, 2026, SK Hynix made history by surpassing Samsung Electronics in market capitalization, ending Samsung's 27-year reign as South Korea's most valuable company. This dramatic reversal is powered by the AI boom and SK Hynix's dominant position in High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), a critical component for AI model training. Once a heavily indebted firm on the brink of bankruptcy, SK Hynix bet early on HBM, which has evolved from a niche product to essential AI infrastructure. It now commands a 59% share of the global HBM market. Its financial performance is staggering, with Q1 2026 net profit soaring nearly fourfold year-over-year to KRW 40.35 trillion, translating to over 2 billion RMB in daily net profit. HBM now drives roughly 40% of its revenue with exceptionally high margins. In contrast, Samsung, with its broad portfolio spanning memory chips, smartphones, and foundry services, has lagged in the HBM race while facing headwinds in other divisions. This shift signifies a deeper restructuring of South Korea's economy, moving from consumer electronics to AI-driven growth. However, the future remains competitive. With major capacity expansions planned industry-wide by 2028 and Samsung aiming to catch up in HBM technology, the new market leader cannot afford complacency. This event marks a pivotal moment in the global semiconductor industry's ongoing power realignment.
