Dynamic Blockchain Construction for Swift Web3 Application Building
In the ever-evolving world of blockchain technology, a new player is making waves with its innovative approach to simplifying blockchain development. Bloctopus, formerly known as LZero, is a startup co-founded by Til Jordan and Anisha Goel, and it has recently secured a $1 million seed funding round, led by Hivemind Capital [1].
Bloctopus is poised to revolutionize blockchain infrastructure, aiming to make it a lot easier for developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) more efficiently and cost-effectively. The startup has already attracted attention from industry-leading organizations such as the Ethereum Foundation, Blockdaemon, LayerZero, Libre Capital, Zoniqx, and Coreum [1].
Their platform supports over 200 blockchains and offers simulation environments that mimic mainnet data with enterprise-grade security. This technology significantly reduces complexity, enabling developers to spin up private, enterprise-grade blockchain development networks instantly [1].
In 2024, stablecoin transaction volume reached an impressive $33 trillion. However, the growth of this volume is threatened by fragmentation and complexity within the ecosystem. Bloctopus addresses this pain point by providing a seamless solution that reduces DevOps overhead by 90% and enables Web3 teams to deploy features up to 20 times faster [1].
Bloctopus was the #1 ranked Web3 product on Product Hunt after launching at EthDenver. The startup's co-founder and CTO, Til Jordan, is excited about the rapid progress of the startup and expresses interest in engaging with investors who share Bloctopus' vision [1].
Notable participants in the seed funding round include Techstars, IronKey Capital, and strategic angel investors from Brevan Howard, Quantstamp, Cred Protocol, Nexus Network, and Airside Labs [1].
As of late July 2025, Bloctopus promotes a cloud-based testnet solution capable of simulating thousands of nodes and transactions with customizable node-level configurations and monitoring tools. Their future plans appear centered on growing their ecosystem by supporting a wide variety of blockchain protocols, token standards, and developer tools to address the increasing complexity of blockchain application development [1].
Bloctopus also aims to democratize and secure blockchain development. The University of Southampton has waived any potential claim on IP for Bloctopus, reflecting the startup's commitment to fostering innovation in the blockchain space [1].
Interested investors and partners can connect with Bloctopus' founders through a form on the company's website. As Bloctopus continues to innovate and expand, it promises to play a significant role in shaping the future of blockchain technology.
