Shane Curran@arcurn·
Today, we’re excited to announce @Evervault's $25M Series B, led by Ribbit Capital with continued support from @sequoia, @IndexVentures, @kleinerperkins, and @nextplayVC. This round comes at a time when sensitive data exchange on the web is going parabolic. Since 2019, we’ve been focused on building durable infrastructure for engineering teams to collect, process, share, and enrich sensitive data -- while keeping it encrypted at all times. We thought we were making good progress in encrypting the web, helping customers like @tryramp, @Rippling, @finix, @TheOverwolf, @Uniswap, @CarTrawler, and hundreds of others secure more than $5bn/year in payment flows and 100m+ unique tokens per month. But the past year has shown that our enemy -- plaintext data -- is getting stronger and more pervasive. Our vision is to build the clearinghouse for sensitive data, helping companies exchange sensitive data in a secure and encrypted way. This round helps us encrypt more of the web by further refining our developer experience, building deeper integrations with trusted third-parties, and increasing the value we can offer our customers for more data types. First and foremost, thank you to our customers. You trusted Evervault to sit directly in the flow of your most sensitive data (payments, identity, financial information, and more) and that trust is not something we take lightly. Your feedback, your requirements, and the problems you bring to us every day are what shape the product and push us forward. Thank you to the Evervault team. What you’ve built is genuinely special: infrastructure that lets developers process sensitive data without ever having to see it in plaintext. The pace, craft, care, and ambition you bring to work every day are what makes this company what it is. And thank you to our new investors for believing in the vision of making security architectural rather than procedural. We’re grateful to have partners who understand both the scale of the problem and the opportunity ahead. The internet still assumes that sensitive data must exist in plaintext somewhere. We’re building the infrastructure to change that. Onwards! More here 👉 evervault.com/blog/series-b?…

Tried to get @evervault engineers to use @figjam. They put it on the office TV and used physical stickies instead 🤦

So excited to announce @evervault’s $25M Series B!

Data security is more important now than ever before. We’re building the infrastructure so companies never have to handle sensitive data again. evervault.com/blog/series-b

Data volumes & velocity continue to grow exponentially moving much faster than compliance ever will but most businesses don't even know where their sensitive data lives, how it's being used, and who has access to it. @arcurn & the @evervault team are building the clearinghouse for sensitive data.

Why did @RibbitCapital lead the $25M round in Evervault? Because Evervault might be building one of the missing layers of the machine economy stack. Let’s break it down. ⸻ @ribbita2012 @RibbitaStore @ribbita2025 1️⃣ What Evervault actually builds Evervault provides confidential computing infrastructure. Developers can: • encrypt sensitive data • process it without exposing it • run code in secure enclaves Even the cloud provider cannot see the data. This solves one of the biggest problems of modern systems: trusting the infrastructure that processes sensitive data. 2️⃣ Why this matters for AI agents AI agents will soon handle: • payments • financial accounts • identity data • contracts • portfolios • compliance But there’s a critical problem. Agents need access to extremely sensitive information. Examples: bank balances wallet keys identity credentials payment data You can’t simply expose that to cloud servers. 3️⃣ @evervault solves the execution trust problem Their infrastructure provides: • Confidential Compute • Encrypted Data Processing • Secure Enclaves • Zero-trust infrastructure Which means: AI agents can process sensitive financial data without exposing it to the infrastructure itself. 4️⃣ Now zoom out to the Machine Economy stack The emerging architecture looks something like this: AI Applications ↓ AI Agents ↓ Identity Layer (KYA / agent identity) → potential role of $TIBBIR ↓ Secure Execution Layer (confidential compute) → Evervault / TEE environments ↓ Financial Infrastructure (tokenized assets / stablecoins) ↓ Payments Infrastructure (Stripe / Visa rails) 5️⃣ Why $RibbitCapital is interesting here Ribbit Capital has historically funded core financial infrastructure. Examples across their portfolio include pieces of: payments banking APIs fintech infrastructure identity systems Evervault adds something new: secure data execution for financial systems. 6️⃣ If AI agents become financial actors They will need: Identity Trust Secure execution Confidential data processing Payments That stack might look like: Agent Identity → $TIBBIR Secure Execution → confidential compute Sensitive Data Processing → Evervault Payments → $Stripe / $Visa Final thought The machine economy will not just need: money rails. It will need: trust rails. And the companies Ribbit is backing look suspiciously like the building blocks of that system. 🐸

So happy to finally release the new @evervault docs! Some of my favourite highlights: - Inline SVG illustrations that use CSS variables to support dark mode. - 3D Icons that fallback to inline SVGs on mobile. - Dynamic content based on your selected client/server language.

@sytaylor I guess the protocol itself is open source, but you're still beholden to OpenAI (or insert-LLM-here) to build the integration with that particular processor, even if they're spec-compliant

@arcurn Or any ACP compatible processor. Hence open sourcing.

New agentic commerce protocol just dropped. Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) is a standard way for a user to - Find a product - A merchant to render those products - User to intend to buy - Merchant to render cart + sales taxes - Beginning a payment instruction
Patrick Collison@patrickc

We have three cool announcements today: (1) @OpenAI is launching commerce in ChatGPT. Their new Instant Checkout is powered by @stripe. (2) We're releasing the Agentic Commerce Protocol, codeveloped by Stripe and OpenAI. (3) @stripe is launching an API for agentic payments, called Shared Payment Tokens. It's clear that internet purchasing modalities are going to change a lot, and we're excited to start to lay some of the foundations. Links below!

@sytaylor Also brings merchants into scope for PCI if they want to collect the credentials themselves. It's either Stripe and no compliance scope, or collect themselves from OpenAI and be fully in scope and deal with the headache that comes from that

@sytaylor Wonder how this will evolve for merchants who want to process transactions outside of the Stripe ecosystem. Seems like OpenAI Instant Shopping relies heavily on Stripe to collect payment credentials and finish the transaction

@patrickc @OpenAI @stripe How will merchants who need access to the raw PAN get access to it? For merchants with multiple processors etc. will Stripe expose the raw PAN to those merchants, or will OpenAI collect the card data outside of Stripe Elements and share directly?
