IronBlocks
IronBlocks is an Israeli blockchain cybersecurity startup developing on-chain firewall technology and the Venn Security Network to proactively prevent exploits and attacks on smart contracts and DeFi protocols.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
IronBlocks develops on-chain security solutions that proactively block malicious transactions during execution rather than merely detecting them after the fact. The company's core product is an on-chain Firewall that provides real-time, autonomous protection for smart contracts, and the Venn Security Network that creates a decentralized security layer across EVM-compatible chains.
Backed by Samsung Next and other investors, IronBlocks has prevented over $2 million in active exploit attempts. The platform separates security logic from business logic, enabling faster code deployment while maintaining robust protection against hacks and exploits.
Dual-use relevance is growing as governments and defense organizations explore blockchain for supply chain verification, secure communications, and digital identity. On-chain security technology protects both commercial DeFi protocols and emerging government blockchain infrastructure from sophisticated attacks.
