Chaos Labs announced a $55 million Series A funding round led by Haun Ventures.
This significant investment, aimed at scaling onchain economic security, attracted prominent new investors including F-Prime Capital, Slow Ventures, Spartan Capital, and more. They join an impressive roster of existing backers such as Lightspeed Venture Partners, Galaxy Ventures, Wintermute Ventures, PayPal Ventures, General Catalyst, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Coinbase Ventures. The round also saw participation from strategic angel investors, including Kevin Weil (OpenAI CPO), Michael Shaulov (Fireblocks CEO), Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana CEO), Francesco Agosti (Phantom CTO), and Anton Katz (Talos CEO).
Chaos Labs plans to leverage this funding to accelerate new product development and scale its cutting-edge risk management platform. The platform currently features enhanced observability tooling, innovative risk oracles, and real-time parameter recommendations.
This Series A investment is the first led by Diogo Mónica, General Partner at Haun Ventures. Mónica shared his enthusiasm for the investment: "Chaos Labs has emerged as an industry leader; their rapid growth, despite volatile markets, speaks volumes about their product-market fit, brand strength, and product quality. As onchain finance matures to compete with its centralized counterparts, the need for world-class risk management tools, designed from the ground up for the blockchain stack, is both clear and intuitive."
Mónica added, "Meeting Omer and witnessing his intense focus and vision strengthened our conviction on Chaos Labs. We're excited to partner with Chaos Labs as they continue to safeguard and grow the industry."
Omer Goldberg, Founder and CEO at Chaos Labs, said: "Chaos Labs is building new products which merge previously siloed offchain market data, observability, and alerting with dynamic risk parameter adjustments. This new technology will build upon our existing stack and enable instant updates which reflect current market conditions."
Decentralized finance applications currently depend on manual risk management and isolated analysis of data feed performance to ensure platform integrity in variable market conditions. By comparison, centralized exchanges, including the Chicago Options Exchange utilize risk engines built directly on top of market data feeds.
"We're catching up to our CeFi counterparts and this is where it's going," said Goldberg.
