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。

Why Does 'AGI Godfather' Ben Goertzel Believe the Future of AI Relies on Blockchain?

Ben Goertzel, known as the "AGI Godfather," argues that the future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) must be built on blockchain to prevent its control by a few corporations or venture capital firms. He believes the core AGI code should be free and open-source, but that this alone is insufficient without a decentralized infrastructure to run it affordably. His blockchain project, SingularityNET, and the broader Artificial Superintelligence Alliance aim to create a user-owned, decentralized network for hosting and deploying AGI, contrasting with the closed models of companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Goertzel criticizes the shift of other labs from open to closed development. He argues that while a closed path is simpler, an open, decentralized model—akin to Linux and the internet—is both possible and ultimately better for humanity. He envisions an "Agent economy" where individuals orchestrate teams of AI agents to perform tasks, including transactions, on an open network rather than corporate clouds. While his current model relies on cryptocurrency, plans include offering paid AI services to businesses with the decentralized blockchain as the backend. Goertzel predicts human-level AGI could arrive by 2029 and warns that a gap in understanding and access to AGI could drastically worsen inequality. The first test of his decentralized approach will be the upcoming release of the Agent Omega Claw.

A Company Once on the Brink of Bankruptcy Just Surpassed Bitcoin in Market Cap

On June 22nd, driven by rising stock prices, SK Hynix’s market capitalization reached $1.35 trillion, surpassing Bitcoin's total market cap of approximately $1.29 trillion. This temporarily made it South Korea's highest-valued company. The core driver of this surge is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), for which SK Hynix is the primary supplier to NVIDIA, holding over 60% market share. AI's demand for high memory bandwidth has translated into immense profitability, with SK Hynix reporting a 72% operating profit margin in Q1. The company's success follows a 13-year bet on HBM technology, beginning in 2009. It nearly failed after the 2001 dot-com bubble, was acquired by SK Group in 2012, and was subsequently recapitalized to continue its long-term HBM development. The article contrasts this with the Crypto AI narrative. Capital currently favors AI infrastructure players like SK Hynix due to "real orders, physical barriers, and quantifiable profit margins." In comparison, Crypto AI projects, promising decentralized compute and data markets, remain largely conceptual with limited tangible progress. Examples include Bittensor, whose core mechanisms are still under development, and Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI, who face significant funding gaps and execution challenges. The piece cites analysis suggesting the AI sector has absorbed nearly all new market liquidity since 2022, leaving little for crypto. It concludes that the current AI infrastructure红利 is captured by entities with proven technical barriers and supply capabilities, while crypto networks still need to define their concrete role in the value chain.

Bittensor Moves Towards Ultimate Decentralization: The Critical 18 Months for the TAO Ecosystem is Here?

Bittensor, a decentralized AI protocol, is accelerating its transition to full decentralization over the next 18 months, as outlined in a recent post by co-founder Const. The project currently operates in a "semi-decentralized" state: ownership and network participation are open and permissionless, with TAO distribution based on competitive contribution. However, protocol upgrades and governance have remained under core team control to enable rapid iteration in the fast-evolving AI sector. This strategic shift comes as the ecosystem matures, boasting 128 subnets and a large community. Const argues that continued centralization now poses risks, including single points of failure and regulatory scrutiny. The upcoming decentralization roadmap includes optimizing validator competition, opening liquidity pools, introducing governance rights for Alpha holders, and refining economic models. The move could fundamentally reshape TAO's value proposition, adding governance premiums to its existing valuation based on AI narrative and scarcity. It also signals a potential maturation of the AI crypto sector, where competition may shift from hype to sustainable protocol design and real economic activity. Bittensor positions itself not just as another AI token, but as foundational infrastructure aiming to decentralize intelligence production—analogous to Bitcoin's role in decentralizing money—with the goal of creating a resilient "Millennium Intelligence Federation."

Japan's AI Dark Horse Emerges: How a 7B Small Model Challenges Fable and Mythos?

In June 2026, Sakana AI's new model Fugu caused a stir in the AI community. Its Fugu Ultra variant achieved scores of 73.7 on SWE-Bench Pro and 82.1 on TerminalBench 2.1, surpassing GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8, and was claimed to be comparable to export-restricted models like Fable 5 and Mythos Preview. Remarkably, the core of this high-performance system is not a massive model, but a small 7B-parameter RL Conductor model. Fugu operates as a multi-agent orchestrator: the 7B model acts as a "foreman," dynamically analyzing user tasks and delegating subtasks to a pool of top-tier global models (e.g., GPT-5, Gemini 3.1 Pro). It then synthesizes and verifies their outputs. This architecture represents a paradigm shift from monolithic models to an expert-team approach. It enhances performance in complex, multi-step engineering tasks like code review and security testing by enabling cross-validation from specialized models, improving long-session stability and token efficiency. However, Fugu's strengths come with trade-offs: it faces inherent latency due to multiple API calls, relies heavily on underlying US model APIs (creating dependency risks), and its benchmark comparisons with Fable/Mythos are based on reported scores, not head-to-head testing. For Japan's AI ecosystem, which lacks the massive compute and data resources of the US or China, Fugu exemplifies an "asymmetric breakthrough" strategy. Instead of competing directly in parameter scale, it focuses on intelligent orchestration of existing global models, offering a degree of AI sovereignty and resilience. While a significant system-level innovation, its ultimate capability is still bounded by the underlying models it coordinates.
