AI-Powered TestMachine Raises $6.5M to Secure Smart Contracts in Real Time

TestMachine, an AI-powered blockchain security firm, has secured $6.5 million in venture funding. The investment will propel its flagship platform, Predator, which detects smart contract vulnerabilities in real time. Leading investors include Blockchange Ventures, Decasonic, Delphi Ventures, and New Form Capital.

Predator uses artificial intelligence to scan and exploit weaknesses in smart contracts as they appear. The system has already proven its reliability by achieving 100% accuracy in identifying ERC-20 custodiability risks, with no false results. Currently, it monitors over 1 million tokens in real time, flagging real-world threats for exchanges and developers.

Coinbase has fully adopted Predator into its token security and deployment workflow. The platform scans millions of tokens daily, assessing multiple risk factors before they enter circulation. Dr. Matthew J. Lewis, TestMachine’s CEO, emphasized the need for automated security as blockchain adoption grows. The new funding will hasten Predator’s expansion across crypto exchanges, custodians, and DeFi protocols. TestMachine aims to make the tool a standard for market makers and institutional players seeking stronger protection against exploits.

The $6.5 million injection will help TestMachine scale Predator’s reach and refine its AI-driven detection. Coinbase’s integration of the platform signals confidence in its ability to secure high-value transactions. With real-time monitoring already in place, the company is positioning itself as a key player in blockchain security.
