Company mission

To enable the world's systems to run on decentralized infrastructure.

9% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Blockchain infrastructure company ChainSafe has a web of industry-leading founders, many of whom first met at an Ethereum Meetup in 2017. The companies pioneering efforts to research and develop blockchain and Web3 technology have led to a tremendous $18.8 million round of Series A funding in 2022, exemplifying just how respected it is as a company.

Web3.Unity is the leading product developed by ChainSafe and played a large part in its funding successes. A blockchain gaming software development kit, Web3.Unity is part of a growing trend in a revolutionary gaming market that is estimated to reach a value of $2.8 billion by 2028. ChainSafe stays true to its name as well, having developed another successful product that unifies major blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche.

The cross-chain interoperability project could mean major leaps forward for the industry as a whole, and ChainSafe seems set to be a spearhead for the future of Web3.
