$5M up for grabs.

Help us battle test—let's make operating onchain as safe and secure as possible.

Was a pleasure working with the Gauntlet team as well 🤝

Institutions need a way to evaluate DeFi risk. Organizations need a path to institutional adoption.

Introducing the Web3SOC, the framework that evaluates security, governance, financial resilience, and compliance.

We thought it was obvious Spearbit and Cantina were operating as one. Well, now it's official.

Honestly, this was the natural next step. We built Spearbit to raise the bar on what expert-led, high-touch security could look like.

But over time, it became clear: reviews alone had to be backed by something stronger.

[Joseph @0xJLG]

@lucidxpl Congrats team!

[Cantina 🪐 @cantinasecurity]

Decentralized AI infrastructure depends on verifiable ownership and transparent coordination. SIWA takes a leap ahead in making that real.

Well done, @saharaai.

[Hari @hrkrshnn]

It is awesome to see the recent love for @cantinaxyz and @spearbit. But the job is not done.

We had a good team session this week at our NYC office. One of the things we discussed was how to 100x from here. Not 2x, not 10x, 100x.

That only happens if everyone around us wins. Our customers need to win, and keep winning. Security researchers need to keep winning. And crypto needs to win on a global scale. We're ready to make that happen, whatever it takes.

Cantina is going to help onboard trillions of dollars into crypto safely. That is our promise.

We're playing a long-term game, and we're going to change how people look at security and crypto 🫡

[Hari @hrkrshnn]

Almost everything we did was early and controversial.

When we started Spearbit, we offered high-quality, scalable security reviews through independent researchers. We were told it was wrong, bad, and would never work. You can go back to the panel I was on at the 2022 DeFi Security Summit where everyone piled on Spearbit. Today, nearly every security company has changed its operations to a model where independent security researchers are the centerpiece.

When we launched competitions at Cantina, we built a platform where everything lived in one place. Customers and judges could immediately work on fixing the findings, which meant faster launches. That too was controversial, but the same people who accused us of 'rugging' researchers now have platforms that do the same.

We got here by deeply understanding both our customers and researchers. Few teams in Web3 security have experience on both sides like we do. We’ve built foundational tools: the Solidity compiler (the #1 programming language for smart contracts), the ETH staking contract (the #1 smart contract by TVL), and we won the #1 spot in OpenSea’s first 7-figure security competition. We're going to build the #1 web3 security platform.

Everyone has an opinion on how we should do things, but the way to track progress is by looking at these two questions:

1. Are customers shipping safer code to production?
2. Are security researchers earning more?

If the answer is yes, we're on the right track. And our numbers show we are.

[Cantina 🪐 @cantinasecurity]

March was absolutely massive: over $2.7M in new competition opportunities and 4K findings across Cantina competitions and reviews. 🪐

Plus double the number of new users joining the community, which we love to see!

[Raoul Pal @RaoulGMI]

This is quite the read... its a staggering product roadmap for 2025... truly groundbreaking.

[Raoul Pal @RaoulGMI]

I was going to write a thread on this but Jeff sums it up.

The signal in the noise here is the velocity and simplicity of capital formation. Meme's and ICO's before them were the test case but the real game is yet to come and it will completely revolutionize capital markets.
