Almanax, an AI-powered smart contract auditor, is joining depthfirst. The company has worked on Stellar, Solana, Aptos, Privy, DFNS, Algorand, and other blockchain platforms, identifying hundreds of vulnerabilities and winning security competitions. Co-founders Maxwell and the author built the company around continuous AI-powered audits rather than annual pentests. The acquisition accelerates depthfirst's vision to become the dominant platform for product security. Drawing a parallel to how Palo Alto Networks dominates network security and CrowdStrike dominates endpoint security, depthfirst sees product and application security as the next major category. Almanax's track record of identifying zero-day vulnerabilities and its established client relationships in the blockchain space strengthen depthfirst's competitive position.
