Dedge, the first ASPM platform for Web3, has raised a €4 million Seed round to accelerate the scaling of our technology, grow our team, and continue pushing the boundaries of what Web3 security can be.

This round brings together a diverse group of backers who recognize the urgent need for robust security infrastructure in decentralized systems. The shift toward proactive, lifecycle-aware security in Web3 has caught the attention of both visionary VCs and strategic technology investors.

We’re proud to have Tritemius—Europe and Spain’s first Web3 and Blockchain-focused fund—among them. Their support reinforces the growing recognition that security is a core enabler of Web3 adoption and signals strong momentum for the Web3 and cybersecurity ecosystem across Europe.

Building the next frontier of Web3 defense

Development and security teams in Web3 are facing a critical challenge: a lack of clear visibility across their decentralized stack. Many are forced to rely on Web2 tools and frameworks that were never designed for the rapidly evolving threats that blockchain-based applications face.

Securing smart contracts and monitoring on-chain transactions is no longer enough. Attack surfaces are expanding rapidly, targeting every layer of the Web3 stack and every stage of the development lifecycle.

At Dedge, we saw this gap and knew we could do something about it.

Our passion for security and extensive experience building advanced security solutions led us to take on this challenge head-on. Dedge was founded by seasoned Web2 professionals, including members of the founding and leadership team at Randed, a security company acquired by Netskope. Together with a team of experts in cybersecurity, software, and business development, we’re building the next frontier of Web3 defense.

Dedge’s mission is to empower organizations to build secure Web3 applications and grow with confidence, by delivering continuous, intelligent protection designed for the realities of decentralized development.

Closing a critical gap in Web3

While Web3 has unlocked a new era of transparency, decentralization, and innovation, security practices haven’t kept pace. The ecosystem is scaling fast, but the security stack isn’t. What’s missing is a security posture that delivers continuous security from code to chain, before threats can strike.

In mature Web2 environments, security is continuous, integrated, and aligned with every phase of development and deployment. In Web3, many organizations still treat security as a one-off audit or rely on post-deployment monitoring and reactive measures. This must change.

Web3 will not reach full maturity until it adopts security models that are proactive, continuous, and embedded in Web3 stacks across the entire SDLC. The complete lifecycle of a decentralized application, from initial commit to on-chain execution, must be visible, measurable, and secure.

Web3 security from code to chain

At Dedge, we believe that security shouldn't slow Web3 development down—it should empower teams and enterprises to build securely and operate safely, by design. That’s why we created the first ASPM platform built specifically for Web3.

Our platform unifies Web3 AppSec and DevOps so that every step is secured, every risk is mitigated, and Web3 dApps stay completely shielded. It offers:

• Continuous code security, integrated directly into CI/CD pipelines, to reduce reliance on manual audits, ensuring compliance and security at every change.

• Web3 security intelligence powered by models trained on decentralized ecosystems, securing dApps, smart contracts, and blockchain infrastructure.

• Real-time code-to-chain visibility into smart contract risk, deployment pipelines, and on-chain activity.

• Prioritization and remediation of critical risks with precision and efficiency.

What sets Dedge apart is our code-to-chain approach: we don’t just secure what’s already deployed—we track and protect applications across their full lifecycle. From pre-deployment code to live, on-chain logic, Dedge delivers intelligent, automated protection that evolves with the stack.

An exciting future ahead for Dedge and Web3 security

When we started Dedge, we knew that for Web3 to realize its full potential, it needed a security foundation as resilient and dynamic as the technology itself. Today, that vision is coming to life at a time when the entire cybersecurity ecosystem is gaining unprecedented momentum.

From billion-dollar global acquisitions to the rise of cutting-edge startups across Spain and Europe, the world is waking up to the strategic role of cybersecurity in driving innovation. In that landscape, we’re proud to be building at the frontier of Web3, delivering continuous protection for smart contracts and decentralized applications, and helping organizations innovate without compromise.

This is just the beginning. With the support of our investors, our team, and our customers, we’re laying the groundwork for a more secure, trustworthy Web3. The future of cybersecurity is intelligent, integrated, and decentralized. And at Dedge, we’re proud to be shaping it.
