December 11th, 2025 – New York, United States
TestMachine, the AI-driven blockchain security company safeguarding billions in digital assets, today announced it has raised $6.5 million in venture funding to accelerate the global rollout of its flagship platform, Predator.
The round was led by Blockchange Ventures, Decasonic, Delphi Ventures, and New Form Capital. The investment will accelerate the development and deployment of TestMachine’s flagship AI platform, Predator, which is now fully integrated into Coinbase’s token security and deployment process.
Other participants in the round included Baboon, UDHC, Auros Global, Generative Ventures, Contango Digital and Santiago Santos. The funding will support the further development of the Predator high-fidelity simulation capabilities.
TestMachine’s groundbreaking automated security approach has been implemented and trusted by leaders across the digital asset industry. Coinbase has integrated Predator into its CEX and newly launched DEX trading feature, using TestMachine to scan millions of tokens across multiple risk factors on a daily basis. With Predator, it takes just seconds to analyze an asset for risks, faster and deeper than any manual process.
A Coinbase blockchain security engineer commented: “Our team evaluated publicly available tools to identify and flag ERC-20 custodiability risks, …We rigorously assessed these tools over a three-stage work trial, and Predator stood out because it achieved 100% accuracy on all tokens (with no false positives or negatives), even catching human errors in our own reviews.”Dr. Matthew J. Lewis, CEO of TestMachine, emphasized the growing importance of automated security in the blockchain sector. “As blockchain networks and decentralized finance continue to expand, the complexity and volume of transactions make it increasingly difficult to detect vulnerabilities manually.” He said “Our goal is to empower investors, developers, and exchanges with tools that proactively identify, monitor, and mitigate risks before they manifest.”
The funding will help TestMachine expand Predator across crypto exchanges, custodians, market makers and DeFi protocols. By simulating real-world attacks before they happen, the platform empowers the industry to stay ahead of threats — delivering stronger, more reliable blockchain infrastructure for the entire ecosystem.
