Zircuit Raises Mainnet Funding Round With Participation From Binance Labs, Mirana Ventures, And Others

With this new funding, Zircuit will be able to supercharge ecosystem growth and activity on its network, building upon a strong technical foundation and over $2.9 billion in staked assets.

Since 2022, the Zircuit team has built a new L2 network that introduces a revolutionary new approach to onchain security. Zircuit protects dApps and their users from blockchain vulnerabilities through its novel infrastructure that is armored by sequencer-level security and built-in, automated AI techniques to guard against smart contract exploits and malicious actors. The network’s hybrid architecture also results in a fast, low-cost, and fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup, offering unparalleled security for users without compromising speed or compatibility.

Bolstered by its strong security infrastructure, Zircuit plans to become a central hub for restaked assets that features unparalleled security and allows users to earn industry-leading yields natively. The landscape of liquid restaking is still nascent and rapidly evolving and new LRT protocols are constantly emerging, making it challenging for even experienced users to track and choose the best and the safest protocols for deploying their capital. Zircuit aims to address this problem by becoming a major liquidity hub for restaked assets (ETH, BTC, LSTs, and LRTs) where users can easily allocate their capital and have peace of mind knowing that funds are deployed to the safest and highest quality protocols.

“At Binance Labs, we support projects that are innovating in Web3 and accelerating the blockchain industry. Through its integration of sequencer level security, Zircuit is providing a more secure L2 solution and we look forward to watching it grow and develop further,” said Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance and Head of Binance Labs.

“Security has been a persistent issue in the crypto space, with breaches occurring almost daily. Zircuit, founded by top security veterans, leads the industry with its best-in-class security architecture. The team’s clear growth strategy has led to explosive growth in assets locked since launch,” said Erick Zhang, Managing Partner of Nomad Capital. “We are excited to support and continue working with the Zircuit team.”

“As the web3 space accelerates toward mainstream adoption, Zircuit will empower this growth by providing the necessary infrastructure to onboard the masses. Our years of research into rollups and blockchain security have allowed us to build an L2 network with unparalleled security and scalability. We’re proud to have the support of Binance Labs, Mirana Ventures, and our other investors as we approach our first phase of Mainnet and establish Zircuit as a cornerstone in the industry,” stated Martin Derka, co-founder of Zircuit.

Zircuit’s Mainnet Phase 1 is set to launch in the coming weeks.
