Dedge Security raises €4M seed to secure the Web3 ecosystem

Spanish startup Dedge Security has raised a €4 million seed funding round, led by venture firm Tritemius, to strengthen its position as a leading security platform for developers and companies building on Web3.

The round brings together a diverse group of investors who share a common vision: the urgent need to build a robust cybersecurity infrastructure for decentralised systems.

“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.

From day one, Dedge has embraced a holistic approach to Web3 security. Its ASPM platform for decentralised environments offers protection from code to node, integrating security into CI/CD pipelines and providing real-time visibility into risks throughout the dApp lifecycle.

“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 founding team, made up of Rubén Jiménez and Paco Moral, has extensive experience in the field. 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 are building the next generation of digital defense for the decentralised economy.

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.”

Securing decentralised environments

Dedge’s mission is to empower organisations to build and scale in Web3 with confidence, through intelligent, continuous protection adapted to the logic of decentralised development. In a trustless environment – where confidence lies in the code and architecture – cybersecurity is essential.

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 decentralised 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 sets Dedge apart is its “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.
