Verdict Machine uses AI to understand each financial institution's complete on-chain environment, assess its cyber risk and generate tailored controls. The same live model powers transaction prevention, continuous cyber diligence, security posture and cost-efficient wallet screening. Before execution, Verdict Machine evaluates proposed transactions against the institution's active policies.
In our first weeks, we started POCs with asset managers and digital-asset infrastructure providers whose systems move billions of dollars every week for financial institutions. We're now in active evaluations with digital-asset teams at some of the world's largest banks.
The founding team launched and led blockchain security at Check Point (NASDAQ: CHKP).

Is this you?
If you're behind Verdict Machine: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press.

GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
