Zauth 1D- Solana’s Dark Horse.
@zauthx402 was brought to my attention a couple of months ago when two people in this space I respect highly @undercoverwhale@civinvestors started talking about it constantly, since then it has continued to capture my attention and for good reason!👇
What is Zauth?
Zauth is building the security layer for the agentic internet.
AI has made it easier than ever to build software. Today, people with little to no traditional coding experience can ship applications in hours using AI tools. The problem is that security hasn’t kept up. Thousands of new apps are being deployed every day without any meaningful testing.
Their goal is to make security as accessible as building software itself.
They’re doing that through three core products:
1. Vector is their AI-powered auditing platform for web applications. It simulates real attacker behavior by creating accounts, logging in, and testing apps for vulnerabilities before they reach production. Long term, Zauth want automated security testing to become a default step in development, integrated directly into vibecoding platforms and offered to computer science programs in schools.
2. RepoScan brings transparency to open-source code by allowing anyone to analyze GitHub repositories. In just a few months they’ve analyzed over 19,000 repos and recorded more than 480,000 unique user interactions and it’s constantly growing. Their vision is to make repository transparency a standard expectation for developers and users alike - with an eventual partnership with Github.
3. Finally, their x402 reliability database ensures AI agents only pay for services that actually work. As autonomous agents begin performing tasks and transactions online, their system helps them avoid broken endpoints and wasted capital.
Together, these tools form the foundation of what they believe will be critical infrastructure for the next phase of the internet: security, transparency, and reliability for autonomous systems and the people building them, and I have to agree with them.
Now talk is cheap in this space, backing it up is a different story, and my god am I impressed with their ability to do just that:
For a 4 month old startup company with a very small core team, they are doing things which I’ve not seen in this space before:
1. Ability to execute- when they say they are going to do something, they do it. No bs, no delays, they know what they need to do and how to do it, bottom line… they deliver.
2. Communication- their ability to engage with their community and investor base is seriously impressive, I’d highly recommend having a look at their X and jumping into their Discord server, these guys are shipping updates every day of the week and are answering the difficult questions that most startups avoid or can’t answer.
3. Raising industry standards- The security industry is already a $250 billion industry, and 99% of it is reliant on the same standards from 20 years ago.
If you search online for a webapp pentester, either A, you have to book an appointment with a customer service agent to get one, B, you can get one, but it's a static scan that tells you nothing, or C, you have to pay $900 to receive a scan at the same quality as Zauth’s (which costs $20).
You’ve even got @CoinbaseDev doing fucking demos with Zauth on their page, this is a domino effect in the making.
4. Profitability- three weeks post launch of one of their core products Vector which is monetized, they are already generating above $4,500 p/m in recurring revenue, and are likely profitable as a company post OPEX! This is simply unheard of!
Web 2.0 companies go several years in most instances before getting to this stage, and have to raise astronomical sums through seed, series A and B rounds at ludicrous valuations.
Zauth has done this completely organically with no outside capital thus far, @pumpspotlight however have done a deal to acquire 2.5% of the coin OTC at a $10m valuation for a total of $250k, which the team is due to receive and do what they want with. Imagine the butterfly effect when they do receive this money, this is a company that’s going to go supersonic!
This is potentially a billion dollar company in the making, a generational opportunity ripe for the taking as an investor, and the company (checks notes) is at a $3.9m FDV!🤯
Chart is primed. I’m backing the new kids on the block. So. Much. Higher.
gm! last day of my 'real' job is tomorrow. very weird feeling to not be receiving another paycheck next week, but inspires me knowing i'm betting on something much bigger.
starting monday, every ounce of my attention will be on zauth. for the past 6 months i've been juggling both worlds, and now that the back-to-back meetings and busy work are gone, the updates are going to fly by left and right. can't wait for you all to see what i can accomplish in just a week.
i'm going all in on zauth because the cybersecurity industry is worth 300 billion dollars and it's being completely reinvented by AI. i've spent countless hours studying our competitors, and we don't just compete, we outperform. our benchmark found twice as many critical vulnerabilities as a company that raised 90 million dollars, and i've barely started.
zauth will accelerate faster than ever, and we will dominate this market.
We’re seeing a real ai meta starting to form on Solana, something that we predicted months ago on our Telegram.
Couple gems we’re holding:
solana:DNhQZ1CE9qZ2FNrVhsCXwQJ2vZG8ufZkcYakTS5Jpump
$three

Anything else we should be buying?
This is exactly why I love crypto.
A team of students in their bedrooms built AI-powered security technology whose pentesting capabilities are outperforming those of the leading agentic cybersecurity company while being faster, cheaper, and dramatically easier to use.
And this is only the beginning.
solana:DNhQZ1CE9qZ2FNrVhsCXwQJ2vZG8ufZkcYakTS5Jpump is expanding beyond its core offering into smart contracts, mobile applications, CI/CD pipelines, enterprise infrastructure, and much more.
World-class security shouldn’t be reserved for the largest corporations with unlimited budgets. It should be accessible to everyone. That’s what zauth is building: elite security at honest, sustainable prices.
The gap between what has been built and what the market currently values is massive. If execution continues at this pace, the repricing of @zauthinc will be extraordinary.
Our pentests beat the leading agentic cybersecurity company. Faster, cheaper, and simpler to use.
zauth is expanding into smart contracts, mobile apps, CI/CD, enterprise environments, and more.
The best security in the world, now for everyone.
Since the introduction of AI, breaches have hit record levels.
If your app has a flaw, it will be found and exploited.
Our penetration tests are $49 and find more for a fraction of the cost and time than our competitors.
We’re building the best cybersecurity, for everyone.
Another buyback complete.
We've added $1,000 from revenue to our treasury.
Buybacks continue during each epoch at varied amounts and times.
Over $440,000 has been staked so far.
Read why our community is staking their tokens below.
There's alpha in this article.
Take 3 minutes to read it.
zauth is building in a 300 billion dollar industry that will be revolutionized by AI.
Truly believe solana:DNhQZ1CE9qZ2FNrVhsCXwQJ2vZG8ufZkcYakTS5Jpump is a once in a generation trade.
A real kingmaker.
5 mil to 500mil inbound. Do the math.
Visited Tessera $TESSERA @TesseraBase secret headquarters in LONDON SB.
it was a great time,
and a great pleasure.
The team is great and ready to buidl all the way. Billions and billions.
Excited to announce our partnership with @poofnew.
Every app shipped on Poof has one-click access to Vector, our agentic pentest.
$49/scan. 9 vulnerabilities found on average. 2x the critical detection rate against leading competitors.
Secure software shouldn't be a luxury.
In less than one week, our community has locked 8% of the solana:DNhQZ1CE9qZ2FNrVhsCXwQJ2vZG8ufZkcYakTS5Jpump supply for an average of 195 days.
You have backed us since day one, and it shows.
Our thesis is simple: anyone can build with AI, but security still moves at human speed and human prices.
We're fixing that.
Day 14 of bull posting @zauthinc until @toly supports $ZAUTH
The team continuously innovates and is leading the security race on chain. Soon off chain as well.
Real product, real MRR, huge and growing TAM
Toly, throw your hat in the ring on this one 🧢🎩
GitHub contributor lists are very easy to fake.
Anyone can put a respected builder's name on their repo, and it's repeatedly used to raise money and rug.
Tomorrow we change that.
As a company, our aim is to use AI to make the internet safer. One step at a time.
Our first buyback is in the books.
$2,000 added to our treasury, bringing its total to $9,000.
Many more to come.
In 54 days, treasury tokens get split: some to stakers, some burned.
zauth, inc. 🤝 solana:DNhQZ1CE9qZ2FNrVhsCXwQJ2vZG8ufZkcYakTS5Jpump
Over $160k of $ZAUTH has already been staked and that number keeps climbing daily.
We’ve staked a significant amount because I believe the upside here is massive.
I’ve talked before about the earning potential for stakers if revenue scales the way I expect over time. At current prices, a ~$4k investment today could potentially generate close to $100k annually if growth reaches those targets.
Zauthillionaires 🔜
Proud to announce that when you build with @TryNoahAI, you can run our agentic security scan before your site's live.
AI carries ~2.7x the vulnerabilities of human code, big props to the team for taking security seriously.
If your app has or will have users, it needs a pentest.
Day 7 of bull posting @zauthinc until @toly shows support.
Don’t you like security?
What happens when the industry becomes overrun with
Fake endpoints
Poisoned repos
Vulnerable AI-generated code
Autonomous exploits
This upcoming bull run isn’t just going to support AI infra or new perps opportunities like @PhoenixTrade
It’ll reward AI security. It will support solana:DNhQZ1CE9qZ2FNrVhsCXwQJ2vZG8ufZkcYakTS5Jpump
We are building in the biggest market in the history of software.
30 million.
That is how many software developers existed on Earth in 2022. The entire global supply, accumulated over seventy years.
Then AI happened.
80 million new builders have entered the arena. Majority of people building production apps in 2026 cannot write a line of code. They describe what they want. The model writes it. The platform ships it. Lovable. Bolt. Replit. v0. Claude. Base44. What used to take a team six weeks now takes one person a weekend.
Y Combinator's last batch of startups had codebases that were 95% AI-generated. Gartner projects 60% of all new code on Earth will be AI-written by the end of this year.
45% of AI-generated code fails basic security benchmarks. The traditional security industry has nothing for these builders. A pentest costs thousands and takes weeks. The solo founder who shipped Saturday and had 500 users by Tuesday will never pay for it.
The market priced them out before they existed.
zauth is not a cheaper pentest firm. We're building infrastructure for a market that already has 100,000 new apps being made every single day. One that will be a billion builders strong by 2030.
Vector for $50 a pentest. RepoScan with free repository analysis, having been used over 1 million times. Our x402 database that ensures agents pay for services that work. Three primitives, one thesis.
AI will never be perfect. We will catch what it breaks across the internet.
Wide-open categories appear once a decade.
Every business on Earth will run on AI-generated software within five years, and none of them can risk shipping without security.
We are not racing to win the category.
We are racing to define it.
And we will.
