GoPlus Security is a Web3 security infrastructure company founded in 2021. It built one of the first open, permissionless security API networks for blockchain applications, allowing developers to query token risk scores, detect honeypots, flag malicious contract addresses, and screen NFT collections before users interact with them. The company operates under the brand GoPlus Labs and positions its infrastructure as a shared security layer across decentralized applications, wallets, and exchanges.
The company raised early backing from notable Web3-focused investors including OKX Ventures. Exact total funding figures have not been fully disclosed in public filings. GoPlus Security's model differs from traditional venture funds: it functions primarily as a protocol company that also makes selective strategic investments in adjacent security and infrastructure projects. Its geographic focus is predominantly Asia, with operational ties across East Asia and Southeast Asia, though its API serves developers globally.
Notable investments
GoPlus Security holds approximately five portfolio positions, reflecting a narrow, strategic approach rather than broad fund deployment. Specific portfolio company names have not been consistently disclosed in public sources. The company tends to back projects that extend or complement its own security API stack, including on-chain risk detection tools, wallet security layers, and data verification infrastructure. Public information about individual deal sizes and specific portfolio names is limited.
Team
GoPlus Security was co-founded by Mike (Mike W), who serves as CEO and is the most publicly visible figure associated with the project. He has spoken at blockchain security conferences and contributed to discussions around open security infrastructure in Web3. The broader founding team has backgrounds in cybersecurity and blockchain development. Detailed biographical information for other co-founders and managing partners is not consistently documented in public sources.
Recent activity
Between 2024 and 2025, GoPlus Security expanded its API coverage to additional EVM-compatible chains and integrated with several major Web3 wallets and browser extensions. The company also worked to develop a decentralized security network model, moving toward community-run security nodes rather than a fully centralized API service. This architectural shift positions GoPlus as a protocol rather than a pure SaaS vendor, which has implications for how it may structure future ecosystem investments. No major acquisition activity or fund launches have been announced publicly as of mid-2026.
GoPlus Security occupies a relatively distinct niche: a corporate investor whose deal flow is driven by security infrastructure synergies rather than financial return alone. With Web3 wallet adoption growing and on-chain fraud remaining a persistent problem, demand for token screening APIs continues to rise. Whether the company moves toward a formal investment vehicle or keeps its portfolio activity informal and strategic remains to be seen. Public reporting on its investment arm is sparse, and interested parties should consult its Crunchbase profile for the most current funding and portfolio data available.
