Spanish startup Dedge Security has raised a €4 million Seed funding round to strengthen its position as a leading security platform for developers and companies building on Web3.
The funding round was led by venture firm Tritemius.
“We are building breakthrough technology and a top-tier team to solve one of the most complex challenges in the Web3 ecosystem. This investment gives us the boost we need to accelerate that journey,” says Rubén Jiménez, Co-founder and CEO of Dedge Security.
Founded in 2023 by Rubén Jiménez and Paco Moral, Dedge Security is reportedly the first ASPM (Application Security Posture Management) platform specifically designed for Web3 environments.
Both were part of the founding and leadership team at cybersecurity company Randed, which was acquired by Netskope. Today, at Dedge, they lead a team of experts in software, security, and business development who aim to build the next generation of digital defense for the decentralised economy.
“We want to be the go-to security partner for developers, companies, and institutions committed to Web3. This funding round brings us one step closer to that goal,” adds Jiménez.
The company offers an end-to-end solution to protect smart contracts, decentralised applications, and blockchain infrastructure throughout their entire lifecycle. Its platform unifies AppSec and DevOps, providing continuous security, automated intelligence, and real-time visibility from code to chain.
Dedge’s mission is to make Web3 secure, trustworthy, and scalable for developers, companies, and institutions worldwide.
Its ASPM platform for decentralized environments offers protection from code to node, integrating security into CI/CD pipelines and providing real-time visibility into risks throughout the dApp lifecycle.
Luis Pastor, CEO and Co-founder of Tritemius, adds: “Cybersecurity is critical to the development and mass adoption of Web3, a sector still defining its maturity standards. At Tritemius, we invested in Dedge because their team – deeply experienced and proven in cybersecurity – is perfectly positioned to tackle these challenges and become a market leader.”
Dedge’s value proposition is built on:
- Continuous code security, integrated into CI/CD pipelines to reduce reliance on
manual audits. - Web3-native security intelligence, with models trained on decentralized ecosystems
to protect dApps, smart contracts, and blockchain infrastructure. - End-to-end visibility, from code to chain, with real-time insights into critical risks.
- Automated prioritisation and remediation, with accuracy and efficiency.
What Dedge says sets it apart is their ‘code-to-node’ approach: it not only protects what is already deployed but also accompanies and secures the entire evolution of Web3 applications from development to on-chain execution.
“The adoption of Web3 by companies and institutions directly depends on confidence in its security. At Dedge, we work to make that trust tangible. This round reinforces our commitment and our ability to grow globally, ” says the founding team.
