FABRIC CRYPTOGRAPHY

Building towards a future beyond trust with custom chips for advanced cryptography. 

Fabric is a fast-growing Series A deep tech company (full-stack across silicon, hardware and cloud) that was founded to build towards a future beyond trust with custom chips for advanced cryptography. Incredible cryptographers, engineers, and builders are working tirelessly to bring this vision to life. Our job is to make their work possible at scale and at speed.

We’re a team of 60+ AI hardware and software veterans, cryptographers and cypherpunks. Together, we’re building the first general purpose, high performance computer chip for all cryptography – what we call the Verifiable Processing Unit (VPU). On top of the VPU, we’re developing a full compiler stack and acceleration libraries to ensure the chips are easy to program and use. With $39 million in equity and tens of millions worth in pre-orders, we're enabling real-time, high-performance systems where privacy is the default, not the exception.
