Although designed for resilience, blockchain projects remain vulnerable to cyberattacks, especially through apps and cross-chain bridges. In just the first four months of 2025, hackers stole nearly $2.2 billion—almost matching the total for 2024. Octane, an AI-powered startup founded by Giovanni Vignone, aims to stop this trend with real-time code auditing integrated into GitHub. The company recently raised $6.7 million from major investors like Winklevoss Capital and Circle. Octane’s mission is to become every Web3 developer’s AI security engineer.
