This summer, we are over the moon to celebrate a major milestone: our two year anniversary here at Cubist! Looking back on the journey of the past two years, we are filled with an overwhelming appreciation for our customers, investors, and families who believed in us along the way. We’re especially grateful to our earliest supporters for sharing our ambitions and growing with us: @lukejdpearson, @tekinsalimi, @thekevinding, @ryanfang95, @stanleywu84, @danvseq, @justinfiddes, @_nMoose, @_patrickogrady, @AaronBuchwald, @toholdaquill, @tomerweller, @greenbergz, @0xSami_, @DefinedNever, @dntse, @baby_fisherman. We're also really excited about some similarly amazing folks we've been collaborating with over the last few months. (You'll hear about them soon!) Our startup story began with a simple phone call—yep, good old telephone call—fueled by our shared desire to simplify what it takes for Web3 developers to build secure software. That same spark of inspiration continues to drive us today as we work tirelessly to make Web3 more user-friendly, accessible, and secure for everyone. Of course, "us" today means the remarkable team that quickly grew from four founders to a team of seven—three Founding Engineers joined right after we closed our seed funding—to the larger, multi-function org we are today. Cubist’s goal has always been to help teams create the future of Web3 easily, quickly, and nonetheless safely. Our original tagline “build safer dapps faster” still rings true today. We started back in 2022 developing toolchains for building and operating secure cross-chain applications. After months of conversations with teams building serious systems, we honed in on a more fundamental and ubiquitous pain point: key management. The serious security teams were tempted to roll their own key management infrastructure because existing solutions were limited, notoriously complex, slow, and often cut corners on security. This, we thought, is a problem we can solve. The fact that we had the right background–across security, cryptography, formal methods, and risk management–the right team, and the right partners just meant tackling this challenge would also be fun! Last year we launched our key management platform, CubeSigner, a developer API that makes DeFi access safer and easier. Our early partners like @ankr and @dinero_xyz ran Ethereum validators, which meant we had to nail performance (max 100ms latency, horizontal scaling) and security (protect pricey keys). But infrastructure teams weren’t the only ones looking to build better products. Next, @AvaLabs used CubeSigner to bring a fast and secure wallet to consumers, with features like social login and policy-guarded key export—and today, @coreapp, @dappOS_com, @tomo_social, and some of our other partners are onboarding millions of users to a seamless, cross-device experience. And what now? We’re continuing to work with teams to push the boundary of Web3, working with latency-sensitive trading teams who take security seriously, VCs who care about access control, consumer apps and protocols who need fine-grained policies to get security guarantees for their users...the list goes on. This journey from niche API to key management toolbox just wouldn’t have been possible without our uniquely qualified team. We are committed to setting new security standards, and love that our customers are as excited as we are about setting a high bar for security. We’re looking forward to many more years of creating a safer, more accessible Web3 for all. And we have a lot to announce—stay tuned. For those who are a part of our story, thank you! ~The Cubist Team

It can be staked for apxETH, an LST currently earning over 10% APR. 🔜 Dinero: is the next phase for Redacted Cartel’s impressive transformation. It’s designed as a permissionless stablecoin backed by Ethereum blockspace. Aura and Redacted Cartel continue to build together, and users benefit! 👉 Aura’s pxETH-WETH pool on Ethereum is earning 31% APR → app.aura.finance/#/1/pool/185 👉 @hyperlockfi’s (an Aura franchise) pxETH-WETH pool is a great way to stack Blast Gold → app.hyperlock.finance
