Headquartered in Toronto with offices in Berlin and Zagreb, ChainSafe operates globally and has more than 120 employees across 33 countries. The company was launched in 2017 after its founding team came together at an Ethereum meetup in Toronto. Together, they turned a passion for open-source and decentralized technology into a sustainable web3 business. Five years later, ChainSafe has evolved to become the leading multi-chain research and development company with a focus on infrastructure development and web3 gaming. As ChainSafe looks ahead to the future, it will use this investment to enhance its support for the adoption and sustainable growth of the web3 ecosystem.
“We have been close to ChainSafe since the early days when decentralized protocols were defining themselves and coming into their own. No organization has done a better job of establishing beachheads in important ecosystems and consistently making fundamental contributions. The people of ChainSafe combine integrity and excellence as well as any company in our ecosystem, and no organization has earned trust more broadly among its peers. This Series A raise enables ChainSafe to continue on its rapid growth path of strategic and synergistic protocol and product development,” said Lubin.
One of the company’s flagship products is web3.unity, a software development kit (SDK) for connecting Unity games with blockchain technologies. Web3.unity is designed to reduce complexity and introduce a new level of ownership to gaming. Currently in production with more than 100 teams, the SDK is a catalyst for the rapidly growing blockchain gaming space, which is anticipated to reach US$2.8 billion by 2028. In addition, ChainSafe’s cross-chain bridging solutions have connected major blockchains together including Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche, and in turn secured over $600 million in cross-chain token transfers. Designed and released by ChainSafe, these bridges are being used in a new cross-chain interoperability project for which ChainSafe is the leading contributor.
“Since 2017, ChainSafe’s work has been instrumental in developing the web3 ecosystem,” said Verjee. “Their research, development work, and products touch all aspects of today's blockchain infrastructure. We look forward to having a front row seat to ChainSafe’s journey as the company brings its architecture to the forefront and makes it accessible to all.”
ChainSafe has built a reputation as a core protocol developer for Ethereum, Polkadot, Filecoin, and other leading blockchain ecosystems. Given its mission to “onboard the next million web3 developers,” the company’s ambition is clear. With a multi-chain approach, ChainSafe is creating open-source infrastructure and tooling that empowers developers to build the decentralized web. With this investment, ChainSafe will accelerate product development, continue building its team, and fuel the adoption of web3 technology.
“ChainSafe was started with a vision that decentralized technologies could change the world. As time has progressed, the importance of our contributions has become increasingly clear. I am proud of ChainSafe’s impact on the community and, with new partners joining our team, we are looking forward to accelerating the growth of the web3 ecosystem,” said Aidan Hyman, CEO and co-founder of ChainSafe.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Low AI fluency, uneven adoption, and marginal productivity gains are limiting enterprise-scale impact According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions.
