Crypto security companies: 25 on NAUT, 19 name a founder

By NAUT Research · · 7 min read

25 Crypto security companies firms whose NAUT row names a crypto security product, 19 with a founder page. Logos: Trusta Labs, Certik, Pocket Universe, Lossless, Trail of Bits, Blockaid, Hat, Cyberscope, Blowfish, Range, Firewall, fuzzland_.

NAUT tracks 25 crypto security companies whose own NAUT row names a crypto or Web3 security product, read on 2 November 2026: 7 that audit code, 6 that monitor live transactions, 4 that run incident response or threat intelligence, 1 bug bounty protocol and 7 broader security platforms. NAUT's data shows 19 of the 25 name at least 1 founder with their own NAUT page, and the 25 firms carry 68 person rows between them.

How this list was built: on 2 November 2026 NAUT read the 26 company and service rows that surface under its security and audit service tags, kept the 25 whose own description names a crypto or Web3 security product, and left out Qingteng Cloud Security, a host and workload security vendor whose description names no crypto product. Only 1 of the 26 rows carries NAUT's own security service tag; 22 carry audit, 2 compliance and 1 research, so a reader searching the tag alone would miss most of this list. The product groups below are NAUT's reading of each row's own description, never a NAUT tag. The People column is the live person rows NAUT's own record holds for each firm on 2 November 2026, with archived duplicate rows excluded; 67 of the 68 rows have their own NAUT page. NAUT also holds a second, archived row for Blowfish co-founder and CTO Kim Persson and for fuzzland_ co-founder and CTO Chaofan Shou, and those 5 archived duplicates sit outside the 68. A firm's public NAUT page can show fewer than its record holds, so treat the People column as NAUT's record, not a headcount.

20 of the 25 carry an X follower count on NAUT's record. The 5 service rows without 1 are the firms NAUT holds as service providers, so a BD team ranking crypto security providers by audience should treat those 5 as unmeasured here.

What do these crypto security companies actually do?

7 of the 25 sell audits of code. NAUT checked 7 of the 25 firms against their own public pages on 2 November 2026 and confirmed what each sells.

  • runs audits, formal verification and penetration testing. Its own site offers "Security audits, penetration testing, and compliance platforms for institutions, protocols, and regulators".
  • publishes its work in the open: "Everything we publish lives here: security reviews, research, open-source tools, and talks".
  • works on formal methods, offering "Smart Contract Audit and Security Tooling that find bugs unique to your defi and ZK projects".
  • sits in front of a transaction instead of behind a report: the firm "prevents scams, fraud, exploits and compliance risk in real-time".
  • is a blockchain security platform delivering "real-time on-chain threat detection".
  • is the industry's shared desk, offering "24/7 cryptocurrency incident response for the crypto ecosystem".
  • runs a decentralised bug bounty protocol where anyone can add liquidity to a bounty, across 5 chains.

Blowfish was confirmed the same way as transaction-screening technology for wallet users. The other 17 rows are described here from their own NAUT record only, so a buyer should ask each one directly what is in scope. What those rows say, in their own words:

CredShields, a cybersecurity firm specialising in Web3 security. Hackless, a security platform for DeFi. Phylax, an open source security protocol. Dedge Security, a Web3 security solution provider.
  • Monitoring: Pocket Universe, Web3 fraud prevention and a browser extension. Lossless, a DeFi hack mitigation tool for token creators. DoppelHQ, detecting NFT fraud.
  • Audit: Cyberscope, smart contract audit and KYC services. fuzzland_, software auditing infrastructure. ack3, AI-native cybersecurity audits and tools, a contributor to the Wake Framework. HackHack.ai, AI security for finance on Solana, built to find bugs.
  • Incident response: trycloudburst, cyber threat intelligence solutions. Station70, institutional trusted recovery infrastructure. Asymmetric Research, research, engineering and incident response for teams running high-stakes systems.
