1/ Today we announce that @almanax raised an additional $1M to accelerate the development of our AI Security Engineer. Grateful for the support of our investors Blockchain Builders Fund | BBF defy.vc, Exor, Vento, IAG, Eden Ventures, and amazing angels. We're headed into a future where most code will be AI generated, and coding agents will need to pass security checks from AI security agents. We're building the latter at Almanax

Almanax is on Times Square again! It gives me chills to see our logo in one of the most iconic places in the world. Thank you Brex for featuring us there to celebrate our raise!

Nice to see our story featured on Forbes Italy today! "The first is the creation of Francesco Piccoli, an Emilian founder who from aerospace engineering, moving between Turin and Berkeley, and, in the meantime, becoming increasingly passionate about blockchain and LLM, has tackled the problem of neutralizing the frequent cases of hacking with the AI ​​security agents developed by Almanax, emerging as an Elliott Ness of Web3."

Had a great intimate dinner with other founders in a private home in Tribeca last night. Good convos over how each of us is integrating LLMs in their coding and GTM efforts.

not in an academic paper format, but i think this blog post could be interesting for some of the people here: https://www.almanax.ai/post/silencing-the-noise-dismissing-llm-security-findings

When we scan code repositories for security issues, not every flagged finding requires action. Some may be false positives, others are known and intentional design choices. How do you "silence the LLM noise"? We just wrote a blog with our approach, link in the comments.

“There’s too much of a reliance on auditors as a whole to fix issues”. (David Schweb from Robinhood) That should be your 3rd-party validation before you launch, it can’t be a substitute for robust internal security. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/airdropd_cybersecurity-smartcontracts-web3-activity-7293721105851113473-Uiwd

I recently sat down with Sherveen Mashayekhi in NYC to talk about why we're building @almanax. Pretty cool to be in a full-blown production studio.

security is about how many layers of protection you’re putting between your company and bad actors
