1/ Introducing Sphinx: A DevOps platform for deploying and managing smart contracts, built for Foundry users.

We've raised $2M from @archetype, @nascent, and Volt Capital to bring DevOps to web3.

3/ Signing from a multisig is even more difficult because there's no proper tooling to send data from a Forge script to a Gnosis Safe, which forces teams to create hacky solutions to export their transaction data. Signing transactions is time-consuming for everyone involved.

4/ Additionally, today's infra isn't designed for a multichain landscape, leading to mountains of manual work for developers. Multichain deployments look something like this:

5/ Lastly, teams must initiate scripts from their local machine instead of a CI process. This increases the potential for human error, which can be disastrous for mission-critical operations.

6/ Enter Sphinx!

Sphinx is a DevOps platform that solves all of these problems.

With Sphinx, you can sign a SINGLE meta transaction to approve an arbitrary number of transactions across any number of networks.

6.5/ Sphinx executes your transactions trustlessly on every chain, then bills you in fiat when it's finished. You don't need native gas tokens on any chain.

Also, Sphinx makes it possible to initiate scripts gaslessly from your CI process.

7/ Sphinx is audited by Spearbit and is built on top of the tools you already use:
- Forge scripts: You can integrate Sphinx by adding a few lines to your scripts.
- Gnosis Safe (@safe): The Sphinx protocol is a Gnosis Safe module that enables secure one-click approvals.

8/ No Lock-In

Sphinx's core logic is MIT-licensed. Also, we've made it easy to opt out of Sphinx by providing a CLI tool that executes your scripts exactly as the DevOps Platform would execute them.

2/ It's no secret: deploying and managing protocols is a pain.

Today, smart contract devs face a choice: they can either use a funded hot wallet (convenient, but a security hazard), or they can sign large amounts of transaction data via a hardware wallet (slow and painful).
