GoPlus Security, a Web3 security infrastructure provider, raised a multi-million dollar private funding round in April 2022, with participation from several public chain entities and venture firms [2]. The funding comes as Web3 security losses reached $4.0 billion in 2025, with nearly $1 billion occurring in the second half of that year, highlighting the increasing demand for security infrastructure in the decentralized ecosystem [1].

The private funding round for GoPlus Security Engine in April 2022 saw co-investment from several public chain entities, including Crypto.com Capital, Huobi incubator, KuCoin Ventures, Arweave, Harmony, Avatar (Avalanche Asia Star Fund), and Neo [2]. Additional participants included SevenX Ventures, GSR Markets, and Geekcartel [2]. This follows an angel round completed in August 2021, which was led by SevenX Ventures with participation from Mask Network, DeltaBC, Puzzle Venture, Youbi Capital, Incuba Alpha, Lucid Blue, InsurAce, and Quantstamp CEO Richard Ma [2].
GoPlus Security aims to provide Web3 security infrastructure across major networks, offering multi-dimensional risk detection [2]. Its services include token risk detection, a malicious address library, NFT risk detection, real-time risk warnings, and dApp contract security detection [2]. The company states its goal is to build an open security ecosystem with other Web3 security service providers [2].
The funding for GoPlus Security coincides with a period of significant security challenges in the Web3 space. In 2025, Web3 security losses totaled $4.0 billion, with approximately $1.0 billion occurring in the second half of that year alone [1]. This reinforces the view of security as a core infrastructure component rather than an optional tool [1].
GoPlus Security has continued to expand its offerings. In the second half of 2025, its SafeToken Locker, a token issuance and locking mechanism, saw its Total Value Locked (TVL) grow 21.6% to $40.2 million, reaching an all-time high of $66 million in October [1]. This growth was attributed to flexible vesting structures, price-based unlocking mechanisms, and expansion to additional chains such as Base and Sui [1].
In Q4 2025, GoPlus launched two AI-native security products: DeepScan, an AI-powered smart contract analysis engine supporting Solidity, Move, and Rust, and AgentGuard, a real-time security layer for autonomous on-chain AI agents [1]. Early adoption of these products included the protection of over 200 AI agents, scanning of more than 1,500 skills, and blocking of 47 malicious transactions, with no successful exploits reported among protected agents [1]. The company also expanded integrations with wallets like MetaMask, Binance Wallet, Ledger, WalletConnect, and Fireblocks, and deployed on new chains including Sui, Monad, HashKey Chain, and BNB Chain [1]. GoPlus completed its MiCAR whitepaper registration and advanced its AML and sanctions detection tooling to support institutional and compliance-aware use cases [1].
The sustained demand for Web3 security infrastructure, evidenced by substantial losses in the sector, positions companies like GoPlus Security at a critical juncture for growth and development in decentralized security [1].
