Continuous aggregates now support in-place schema changes, fine-grained locking, incremental refresh batching, and direct ANALYZE and VACUUM. Queries on compressed data also get faster through metadata-driven first() and last(), vectorized CASE expressions, and improved batch sorting. PostgreSQL 15 support ends with 2.28, so users should plan upgrades to PostgreSQL 16, 17, or 18.

The institutions that embrace it get to do something they've struggled to do for years: rebuild public trust—by offering the security and service of the future instead of the fragile, costly systems of the past.

KuCoin Pay, the payments arm of the KuCoin exchange, has launched KuCoin Gift Card, an enterprise product that lets businesses distribute USDT and USDC through digital gift cards, with bulk issuance and API integration aimed at customer rewards, promotional campaigns, employee incentives and community programs. Recipients redeem through KuCoin and can then hold, transfer or spend the assets across the ecosystem, which the company frames as a value loop rather than a one-off transfer. The launch borrows one of the most proven distribution formats in commerce, a digital gift card market worth roughly $680 billion in 2026 and heading toward $1.25 trillion by 2030, with its business and corporate segment growing fastest at close to 20 per cent a year, and points it at an asset class whose total supply has grown 47x in six years to more than $320 billion. The strategic reading is straightforward: every redeemed card creates a funded KuCoin account, which makes this as much a user acquisition engine as a payments product. Q: What is KuCoin Gift Card? KuCoin Gift Card is an enterprise digital asset distribution product from KuCoin Pay that lets businesses send USDT and USDC to customers, employees, partners and community members through digital gift cards, with bulk issuance and API integration for rewards, promotions and incentive programs. Q: How do recipients redeem a KuCoin Gift Card? Recipients redeem the card through KuCoin and receive the underlying stablecoins, which they can then hold, transfer, or spend across supported scenarios in the KuCoin ecosystem, including merchants that accept KuCoin Pay. Q: What is KuCoin Pay? KuCoin Pay is KuCoin's merchant payment solution, supporting more than 50 cryptocurrencies including KCS, USDT, USDC and BTC for online and in-store purchases through a contactless, borderless checkout system. Q: Why are businesses using stablecoin gift cards? The corporate segment of the gift card market is growing at close to 20 per cent a year as companies standardize gift cards for rewards and incentives, while stablecoin supply has passed $320 billion and 65 per cent of crypto owners say they want to pay with crypto where possible, making gift cards a low-friction way to distribute digital value at scale. Q: What are the main use cases for KuCoin Gift Card? Customer rewards, promotional campaigns, employee incentives, community engagement and loyalty programs, with bulk issuance and API integration allowing businesses to embed stablecoin distribution into existing workflows.

AI coding has shifted the bottleneck from writing software to verifying it. While scripted tests check predefined steps, agentic testing focuses on intent — and intent requires memory. A knowledge graph gives AI testing agents structured product memory by connecting pages, actions, features, tests, and past failures, helping them create smarter, more reliable tests. However, graphs aren’t always necessary; smaller or stable products may be better served by simpler memory approaches.

UNITREEUSDT is a USDT-margined perpetual futures contract tracking a reference price for one Unitree ordinary share, in US dollars. It is not stock. Nothing settles in shares and it conveys no claim on the company. Contract parameters — margin mode, maximum leverage, tick size, listing time — are set by MEXC and shown on the contract page. Read them there; a new instrument’s terms can be revised, and a figure quoted elsewhere is no substitute. Being perpetual, the contract has no expiry and no delivery date, and it trades around the clock rather than following the underlying exchange’s session.

ZIGChain, the Dubai-based Layer 1 built for regulated investment products, has taken a strategic investment in its $ZIG token from Laser Digital, the digital assets arm of Japan's Nomura Group, alongside a partnership that puts Laser in charge of product structuring, risk framework design and governance across a pipeline of vault products from ZIG Markets, the ecosystem's access layer. The stated target is a minimum of $100 million in total value locked, with the first product expected in the coming months and a roadmap spanning private credit, PayFi, SME financing, invoice factoring and stablecoin-enabled products. The context is a tokenization market that has quintupled to roughly $33.5 billion in sixteen months, where private credit has become the largest category outside US Treasuries, and where credible origination from emerging markets, the region sitting on a $5.7 trillion small-business financing gap, has remained the missing piece. The investment amount and token price are not disclosed, and the deal involves no new token launch and no change of control. Q: What did ZIGChain announce? ZIGChain announced on August 5, 2026 that Laser Digital, the digital assets arm of Nomura Group, has made a strategic investment in the $ZIG token and entered a partnership with ZIG Markets to bring institutional-grade financial products onchain, with Laser providing product structuring, risk framework design and governance. Q: How much did Laser Digital invest in ZIGChain? The investment amount and token price are not disclosed. The companies state this is not a token launch, not a public or retail raise, and not a change of control. Q: What is the $100 million target? ZIGChain is targeting a minimum of $100 million in total value locked across a pipeline of institutional-grade vault products developed under the partnership, spanning private credit, PayFi, SME financing, invoice factoring and stablecoin-enabled products. The first product is expected in the coming months. Q: What is ZIGChain? ZIGChain is a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for regulated, institutional investment products, launched in April 2024 by the team behind the social investing platform Zignaly. Its ecosystem includes ZIG Markets, the product and access layer, and prior institutional partnerships with Beehive, Taurus and the ADI Foundation. Q: What is Laser Digital? Laser Digital is Nomura Group's digital asset firm, spanning trading, asset management, solutions and early-stage investing. It is regulated by Dubai's VARA and the FSRA of Abu Dhabi Global Market.

Maximor Scales Revenue 35x In Just 9 Months As CFOs Run Out of Accountants

This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/maximor-scales-revenue-35x-in-just-9-months-as-cfos-run-out-of-accountants.
Maximor reports 35x revenue growth nine months after its $9M Foundation Capital seed, with AI agents automating 98% of finance transactions for 25+ customers.

More than 300,000 accountants have left the American profession in five years, first-time CPA exam candidates have fallen 43 per cent since 2016, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 124,200 openings a year against barely 55,000 accounting degrees awarded, which means the work of closing the books is increasingly landing on teams that cannot be staffed. Maximor, founded by two former Microsoft executives who spent years rebuilding that company's own revenue systems, sells AI agents that absorb this work inside a company's existing ERP, and nine months after emerging from stealth with a $9 million seed led by Foundation Capital, the company reports revenue up 35x to a multi-million-dollar run rate, more than 25 customers, 98 per cent of transactions handled autonomously, manual finance work down 90 per cent, and audit exceptions down 75 per cent. Its repositioning today, from finance automation to a system of action for CFOs, is a claim about where the category goes next: agents that do not merely record what happened to a company's money, but act on it. Q: What is Maximor? Maximor is a New York-based AI company founded by former Microsoft executives Ramnandan Krishnamurthy and Ajay Krishna Amudan. Its platform deploys Audit-Ready Agents that work inside a company's existing ERP and finance systems to autonomously handle tasks from revenue recognition to accounts payable, producing workpapers and audit trails by default. Q: How fast is Maximor growing? Maximor reports 35x revenue growth in the nine months since its September 2025 seed round, reaching a multi-million-dollar annual run rate with more than 25 mid-market and enterprise customers. Q: Who invested in Maximor? Maximor raised a $9 million seed round in September 2025 led by Foundation Capital, with Gaia Ventures, Boldcap, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas, Zuora CEO Tien Tzuo, and CFOs and finance leaders from Ramp, Gusto, Opendoor, MongoDB and the Big Four accounting firms. Q: What results does Maximor report? The company reports that its agents handle 98 per cent of transactions autonomously, reduce manual finance work by 90 per cent, and cut audit exceptions by 75 per cent, with early customer Rently reporting its close time cut in half. Q: Why does the accountant shortage matter to this story? First-time CPA exam candidates have fallen 43 per cent since 2016, US schools awarded a twenty-year-low 55,152 accounting degrees against 124,200 projected annual openings, and more than 300,000 accountants have left the profession in five years, making autonomous finance software a response to a structural labor gap rather than a convenience.

Inside Coins.ph: Wei Zhou on Stablecoin Payments, USDC and Global Expansion

This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/inside-coinsph-wei-zhou-on-stablecoin-payments-usdc-and-global-expansion.
Ex-Binance CFO Wei Zhou on buying Coins.ph before FTX collapsed, weekend FX beating banks, USDC hitting 40% of volume, and building a stablecoin fintech.

Wei Zhou spent three and a half years as CFO of Binance, then did something none of his peers did: he bought a company instead of founding one, acquiring Coins.ph, the Philippines' central-bank-licensed crypto exchange and e-wallet, in 2022, six months before FTX collapsed. In this Behind the Startup conversation, he explains why stablecoins have quietly become the largest financial inclusion event in emerging markets, why his weekend FX desk is winning business from remittance giants while banks sleep, why USDC has gone from nearly nothing to 40 per cent of his stablecoin volume in two years, and why he believes every currency on earth eventually moves onto public blockchain rails. He also shares where Coins.ph goes next: cards, Brazil, South Asia partnerships, and a lending product aimed at markets where credit is expensive because liquidity is scarce. Q: Who is Wei Zhou? Wei Zhou is the CEO of Coins.ph, the Philippines' central-bank-licensed cryptocurrency exchange and e-wallet. He previously worked at Goldman Sachs and served as CFO of Binance for three and a half years before acquiring Coins.ph in 2022. Q: What is Coins.ph? Coins.ph is a Philippines-based crypto exchange and licensed e-wallet regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for almost a decade. It lets users hold pesos, buy stablecoins and crypto, and powers stablecoin-based remittances and payouts, with expansion into Brazil and a card product planned. Q: Why do stablecoins matter for remittances? Traditional cross-border corridors cost 2 to 4 per cent per transfer, and the global average cost of sending $200 is over 6 per cent. Zhou says stablecoin rails bring corridors down to 20 to 40 basis points, and they settle in real time, including weekends and after banking hours. Q: What did Wei Zhou say about USDC? Two years ago nearly all stablecoin volume on Coins.ph was USDT. Today roughly 40 per cent is USDC, driven by US companies exporting USDC globally for payouts, a business line Zhou says did not exist two years ago. Q: What is Coins.ph's plan for the next three years? To become a global fintech built on stablecoin rails rather than traditional banking rails: payments and cards first, then lending in emerging markets where scarce liquidity keeps credit expensive, with Brazil live, Latin America and South Asia as target regions, and local partnerships as the entry model.

The Future of the Internet May Depend on Proving You Are Human, Without Revealing Who You Are

Bots now generate 53% of web traffic and AI fraud is surging. Inside privacy-preserving proof of human: World, Self Protocol, Humanity Protocol and what's next.

Automated traffic reached 53% of all web activity in 2025, per Imperva's 2026 Bad Bot Report. Humans are now a structural minority on their own internet, and the share is still falling. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center logged $893 million in AI-referenced fraud losses in 2025, its first year tracking AI as a standalone category, while Deloitte projects generative AI fraud losses of $40 billion in the US by 2027. What is privacy-preserving proof of human? It is a class of verification systems that confirm a user is a real, unique human being without collecting or revealing personal information such as names, government ID numbers or contact details, typically using zero-knowledge proofs paired with a uniqueness anchor like an iris scan, passport chip or palm print. How is proof of human different from KYC? KYC establishes who you are and stores identifying data with the verifier. Proof of human establishes only that you are a real and unique person, and the verifier learns nothing else about you. Why does the internet need proof of human now? Automated traffic passed 53% of all web activity in 2025, AI-referenced fraud losses reported to the FBI reached roughly $893 million in the same year, and humans detect deepfake video less than a quarter of the time, so platforms can no longer rely on behavioral signals to separate people from machines. Which companies offer privacy-preserving proof of human? World issues World IDs anchored to iris verification with nearly 18 million verified humans. Self Protocol generates zero-knowledge proofs from biometric passports, national IDs and Aadhaar. Humanity Protocol issues palm-anchored verifiable credentials. Adjacent tools include Apple's Private Access Tokens, Cloudflare's Privacy Pass and Google Wallet's zero-knowledge age assurance. Is proof of human safe for user privacy? The leading designs keep biometric data on the user's device and share only cryptographic proofs, but regulators in several countries, including the Philippines and Thailand, have challenged biometric collection practices, so jurisdiction-level answers still differ. How does proof of human work with AI agents? Emerging tools bind a verified human to the agents acting on their behalf. World's AgentKit lets merchant sites confirm a real human authorized an AI shopping agent's purchase, and per-human rate limiting lets services cap agent traffic by the person behind it rather than by IP or device. Will proof of human replace passwords or logins? Not directly. It complements authentication by answering a different question: not "is this the account owner" but "is this account backed by exactly one real human." Expect it to appear alongside existing logins first, as badges, gated rewards and abuse-protected tiers. Deepfake supply exploded from an estimated 500,000 files in 2023 to 8 million by 2025, while humans detect fake video less than a quarter of the time. Detection is losing; verification is the fallback. The old tradeoff, verify identity and lose privacy or stay anonymous and drown in abuse, is dissolving. A third category, privacy-preserving proof of human, verifies uniqueness and humanness while disclosing nothing else. World has crossed nearly 18 million Orb-verified humans and shipped integrations with Tinder, Zoom, Docusign, Razer and Okta. Self Protocol anchors humanness to government documents via zero-knowledge proofs and has been adopted by Google Cloud and Aave. Humanity Protocol bets on palm biometrics and counts Mastercard as a partner. The next 18 months decide whether proof of human becomes internet infrastructure or stays a Web3 niche. The signals to watch: platform abuse disclosures, agent identity standards, regulatory rulings on biometric custody, and whether verification survives its own black market.

AI shopping agents are transforming ecommerce, but they also introduce new fraud and identity risks. Drawing on Akamai's latest research and Transmit Security's perspective, this article explains why authentication alone is no longer enough, how AI agents blur the line between legitimate automation and abuse, and why retailers must adopt continuous, risk-based trust models to secure agentic commerce.

Before any large building can be built, specialist engineers must design everything that makes it livable: the wiring, the lighting, the ventilation, the plumbing, the fire alarms. This work, called MEP engineering, is a $150 billion global services market that still runs on manual methods, and it routinely takes months per building. Endra, a Stockholm startup founded in October 2024, uses AI to do the repetitive parts automatically, cutting the electrical design of a 500,000-square-foot building from two months to under a day. Backed by a $50 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz that took total funding to roughly $74 million in under two years, the company is now opening offices in New York, San Francisco and London, hiring toward 100 employees, and preparing to launch its electrical module at its Epoch event in Las Vegas on September 14. The timing is the story: US data center construction has hit a record $50.7 billion annual rate, and every one of those buildings waits on the engineering Endra automates. Q: What is Endra? Endra is a Stockholm-based AI company founded in October 2024 by Niklas Lindgren, Anton Juric, David Rydberg and Gustav Hammarlund. Its platform automates mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineering, the design of the wiring, ventilation, plumbing and safety systems inside buildings, cutting work that takes months down to hours. Q: How much has Endra raised? Roughly $74 million in under two years: a 3 million euro pre-seed in May 2025, a $20 million seed led by Notion Capital in December 2025, and a $50 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz in June 2026, with Notion Capital and Norrsken VC participating throughout. Q: What is Endra announcing now? Endra is expanding into the United States and United Kingdom, with a North American headquarters in New York, a West Coast office in San Francisco and a London office, hiring toward 100 employees globally over the next twelve months. Q: What is Epoch? Epoch is Endra's launch event in Las Vegas on September 14, 2026, where the company will unveil its electrical module and its vision for AI-native MEP engineering, with speakers including chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov. Q: Why does MEP engineering matter? MEP engineering designs everything that makes a building function, and it accounts for roughly one to five per cent of the cost of every building built, inside a global services market exceeding $150 billion a year. When MEP work slips, entire projects slip, and the shortage of MEP engineers has become a bottleneck for data centers, hospitals and electrified buildings worldwide.

GoMining Taps Uphold to Run the Regulated Machinery Behind Its 5 Million-User Bitcoin App

GoMining, the Bitcoin ecosystem serving 5 million users and ranking among the top-10 Bitcoin miners by hashrate, has integrated Uphold's Platform-as-a-Service to run onboarding, KYC/AML compliance, fraud controls, custody and liquidity behind its own branded interface, initially for US users. The strategic logic is speed: building the features and acquiring the licenses in-house would have taken several years, while an API integration puts GoMining inside Uphold's regulatory perimeter, FinCEN and US state regulators, FCA registration in the UK, and the Bank of Portugal in the EU, in a fraction of the time. Every GoMining transaction will be polled across Uphold's 30-plus centralized and decentralized trading venues, bringing institutional-grade execution and pricing to a retail mining audience. The deal is a clean read on where crypto consumer apps are heading: keep the customer relationship and the brand, rent the regulated machinery, and ship features at fintech speed rather than licensing speed.

AI is raising the baseline of what engineers can produce, but faster code generation is only part of the change. At inDrive, we are redesigning hiring, AI-assisted workflows, developer education, platform architecture, and governance around a simple principle: AI can execute more work, but engineers must retain judgment and accountability. This means evaluating candidates with AI, earning autonomy workflow by workflow, building reusable AI skills, making internal platforms agent-accessible through MCP, and treating AI capacity as governed infrastructure rather than individual tooling.

Freehand, the San Francisco agentic AI company whose autonomous agents manage supply chain spend for Meta, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Dunkin' and Cardinal Health, has raised $75 million co-led by Battery Ventures and NewRoad Capital Partners, with participation from former US Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker's PSP Growth and Nexus Venture Partners. The company targets the gap between the $16 billion enterprises spend annually on supply chain software and the $348 billion they spend on people doing what that software cannot, inside a $20 trillion US supply chain operations base. Early Fortune 500 deployments report 5 to 10% of spend recovered in complex categories, workflows completed 5 to 7x faster, procure-to-pay cycles cut by more than 70%, and, per Forbes, 99% of decisions made without human referral. The core IP is the Category Context Graph, a compounding knowledge layer that unifies structured ERP data with the unstructured contracts, emails and chats where supply chain decisions actually live, giving every agent an audit trail for every action. The round lands as Gartner forecasts agentic SCM software spend growing from under $2 billion in 2025 to $53 billion by 2030, and as tariff volatility strains the outsourcing model that has run global supply chains for decades. What is Freehand and what did it raise? Freehand is a San Francisco agentic AI company whose autonomous AI agents manage supply chain spend, auditing invoices, negotiating with suppliers, and processing payments, for Fortune 500 companies including Meta, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Dunkin' and Cardinal Health. On July 29, 2026 it announced $75 million co-led by Battery Ventures and NewRoad Capital Partners, with participation from PSP Growth (Penny Pritzker) and Nexus Venture Partners. Customers report recovering 5 to 10% of spend and completing workflows 5 to 7x faster.

Language models favor sources that are clearly structured, factually consistent across the web, and demonstrably authoritative on a specific subject. In practice that means schema markup identifying attorneys, services, and service areas in machine readable form. It means content written to answer real questions directly rather than circling them for four paragraphs before arriving at the point. It means firm details that match across directories, bar listings, review platforms, and social profiles, since contradictions quietly undermine confidence in a source.

Lava Network Puts Tokenization to Work on Germany's EUR 500M Battery Storage Problem

Lava Network's Tokenization Sandbox has moved from intake to live deployment. Berlin-based Electric Blue is now evaluating Lava's decentralized RPC and API infrastructure to support up to 500 million euros in tokenized financing for battery storage across Germany, starting with a 6 MW / 18 MWh project in Oranienbaum-Worlitz expected online by late 2026 or early 2027 and scaling toward roughly 580 MW and 1,750 MWh. The deployment lands in a market where Fraunhofer ISE projects Germany needs 100 to 170 GWh of battery storage by 2030 against roughly 29.8 GWh installed today, and where 2025 brought 573 hours of negative electricity prices and more than 2,700 GWh of curtailed solar. The Sandbox's broader pipeline now spans 40+ institutional applications, including the $5.4 billion Alba Bay development in the Dominican Republic, tokenized bonds and equities via SHIFT, commodities via Toto Finance, and payments infrastructure from Bitbond, APPLAYER, and AEREDIUM. What is Lava Network's Tokenization Sandbox? A program providing eligible institutions with access to Lava's decentralized RPC and API infrastructure to test blockchain-based asset issuance and settlement on production-grade connectivity before broader deployment. It has attracted more than 40 institutional applications since June 2026. What is the Electric Blue deployment? The Sandbox's first live energy deployment. Berlin-based Electric Blue is evaluating blockchain infrastructure to support up to 500 million euros in tokenized financing for German battery storage, starting with a 6 MW / 18 MWh project in Oranienbaum-Worlitz. Is Lava Network a tokenization platform? No. Lava provides the decentralized RPC and API infrastructure layer that applications use to interact with blockchain networks. Participants tokenize assets on top of that connectivity. What other projects are in the Sandbox? The $5.4 billion Alba Bay real estate development in the Dominican Republic (with BHL), SHIFT (tokenized bonds and equities), Toto Finance (tokenized commodities), and Bitbond, APPLAYER, and AEREDIUM (payments and settlement). Why does Germany need battery storage? Fraunhofer ISE projects Germany needs 100 to 170 GWh of battery storage by 2030 versus roughly 29.8 GWh today, as renewable expansion drives price volatility (573 negative-price hours in 2025) and curtailment (2,700+ GWh of solar wasted).

Onton, the San Francisco product discovery engine with 2M+ monthly active users, has launched a from-scratch AI model built to judge whether product information can be trusted, aimed at the agentic web where AI systems research and execute purchases for people. In head-to-head benchmarks against Google Shopping and Amazon, Onton says its model outperformed on accuracy across essentially every dimension tested, with the widest gap in interpreting the veracity of product information. The claim is backed by a whitepaper. The launch lands as AI-referred retail traffic explodes: up 693% YoY over Holiday 2025 and up 1,324% cumulatively since October 2024, per Adobe Analytics, while an estimated 30% of online reviews are fake, costing US businesses roughly $152B a year. Onton says the model learns entirely on its own and shows signs of generalizing beyond e-commerce, positioning the company to offer a trust layer for the broader internet, available today on Onton.com and case by case to partners. Onton's trust and authenticity model, launched July 29, 2026, is a from-scratch AI system that evaluates whether product information online can be trusted. In benchmarks it outperformed Google Shopping and Amazon on accuracy, especially at judging the veracity of product data. It learns autonomously, shows signs of generalizing beyond e-commerce, and is available on Onton.com and case by case to agentic web partners. What did Onton launch in July 2026? A from-scratch AI trust and authenticity model for the agentic web that evaluates whether product information can be trusted. How does Onton's model compare to Google Shopping and Amazon? In Onton's head-to-head benchmarks, backed by a whitepaper, the model outperformed both on accuracy across essentially every dimension tested. Why does agentic commerce need a trust layer? Roughly 30% of online reviews are estimated to be fake, and AI-referred retail traffic now converts up to 54% better than other channels, so manipulated inputs directly drive high-value purchases. Who can use Onton's trust model? All users on Onton.com today, and partners building on the agentic web on a case-by-case basis.

AmericanFortress released ZK-PoSP on ePrint today: a post-quantum scheme that protects existing crypto wallets by proving, in zero knowledge, that the wallet knows the seed its address was derived from. Same seed, same address, no fund migration, no key rotation. It targets the gap every other proposal leaves open: lattice signatures, key registries and migration plans all require holders to act, which is an operational and legal minefield for ETFs, custodians and treasuries. Company-reported benchmarks: about a fifth of a cent to secure an address once, an eighth of a cent per transaction, 12-second signing, 9 to 10 millisecond verification. The company also claims 21x efficiency over the Ethereum Foundation's migration approach, projected to exceed 210x with hardware acceleration. The scheme is chain-agnostic, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and any curve-based chain using BIP32, BIP44 or SLIP-10 derivation, which is most actively managed funds. The honest caveats: the paper is not yet peer-reviewed, chains must adopt proof verification through a node-level upgrade for any of it to bind, and addresses with already-exposed public keys, including roughly $470 billion in Bitcoin, stay vulnerable until networks enforce post-quantum checks.

ZuriQ Raises $25.5M Led by Quantonation to Build Quantum Chips That Scale Like Semiconductors

ZuriQ, a quantum computing company spun out of ETH Zürich, has raised a $25.5 million seed round led by Quantonation, with participation from Forward.one, Extantia, Firgun Ventures and all previous investors, on top of a $4.2 million pre-seed closed in January 2025. Total funding stands at $29.7 million. The company builds trapped-ion processors that are natively two-dimensional, holding ions with a static magnetic field through Penning micro-traps instead of the oscillating fields that confine every incumbent design to one-dimensional chains. In eighteen months it has grown from four people to eighteen, demonstrated a 3x3 array of nine individually controlled ions, the largest 2D trapped-ion array of its kind, and fabricated the chips behind it with Infineon. The capital funds hiring, research and chip fabrication toward hundreds of qubits on a single chip. Q: How much did ZuriQ raise? ZuriQ raised $25.5 million in seed funding announced July 28, 2026, taking total funding to $29.7 million including its $4.2 million pre-seed from January 2025. Q: Who invested in ZuriQ's seed round? Quantonation led the round, joined by Forward.one, Extantia, Firgun Ventures and all previous investors, including pre-seed lead Founderful alongside SquareOne, First Momentum Ventures, OnSight Ventures and QAI Ventures. Q: What does ZuriQ do, in simple terms? ZuriQ builds quantum computer chips where the qubits, which are single charged atoms, sit on a flat surface like pieces on a chessboard instead of in a single-file line. That lets the qubit count grow with the size of the chip. The company was spun out of ETH Zürich in 2024 by Dr. Pavel Hrmo, Dr. Tobias Sägesser and Dr. Shreyans Jain. Q: What has ZuriQ demonstrated? A working demonstration of nine individually controlled atoms in a 3x3 grid, the largest two-dimensional trapped-ion array of its kind, built with ETH Zürich researchers on chips manufactured by Infineon. Q: How is ZuriQ different from IonQ and Quantinuum? IonQ and Quantinuum hold their atoms in one-dimensional lines connected through complex junctions. ZuriQ removes the junctions entirely, because its atoms slide freely across a chip surface, and the company is targeting thousands of qubits on a single chip.
