AI Agent Security Tool V12 Announces Completion of $10 Million Seed Round Financing, Led by Electric Capital

AI agent security tool V12 has announced the completion of a $10 million seed round financing, led by Electric Capital, with participation from ZachXBT, samczsun, Walden Yan, and others. Previously, V12 independently discovered a major vulnerability in a leading blockchain, which posed a risk to over $100 million in funds. The team received a $2.5 million bug bounty for this discovery, marking the largest single bounty ever awarded to an AI agent. The team stated that their goal is to build a "cyber nuclear weapon"—an AI system capable of identifying all vulnerabilities in a system. They are focused on white-box code audits rather than black-box penetration testing and believe that the bug bounty model will become obsolete in the AI era. The only solution, they argue, is to eliminate vulnerabilities before code goes live.
