Founded in 2019, Chain Reaction develops ASICs and systems to power the future of blockchain infrastructure. Its dedicated hardware optimizes cryptocurrency mining while enhancing scale, decentralization, and security across enterprise and public blockchain networks. By solving critical bottlenecks in scalability, security and privacy, Chain Reaction is paving the way for blockchain’s next phase of adoption. The company was cofounded by Alon Webman, co-founder of Mellanox Technologies (Acq by Nvidia), and Oren Yokev, former head of the technology division at the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.

Why we invested?

Chain Reaction is pushing the frontier of blockchain and privacy compute by designing cutting-edge ASICs and cryptographic acceleration hardware that vastly improve performance and efficiency in secure, encrypted environments. Their products—ranging from high-efficiency hash ASICs to privacy-enhancing processors (3PU) that enable real-time operations on encrypted data—empower cloud, data center, and enterprise infrastructures to adopt privacy-first architectures at scale. With a leadership team anchored in deep semiconductor, cryptography, and systems experience from Mellanox (acq. by NVIDIA), and momentum fueled by strong institutional backing and partnerships, Chain Reaction is uniquely positioned to lead adoption in both crypto mining and privacy-preserving AI compute.
