When pentesting with zauth, you have two options.
a) 50 dollars for a black box test. Our agents attack your web app with nothing but the URL.
b) 150 dollars for a full source code audit.
Nobody does a real pentest for 50-150 dollars. We make cybersecurity accessible.

Large incumbent companies are incredibly slow at handling cybersecurity related disclosures.
Reports are important, but they are irrelevant when teams take days, weeks, or months to respond.
Take personal opsec seriously, because companies often don't.
Cyber is having a moment
Across 21 major software companies, including Apple, AWS, Microsoft, and Google:
- Reported critical vulnerabilities never cleared 100 per month in four years
- Since spring they've jumped to over 600 per month

Ran a pentest on our web app with @zauthinc and was seriously impressed.
Being able to actually watch it navigate the app and run tests in real time makes the whole process way more interesting and interactive. It surfaced some useful findings for us too.
Excited to see where the team takes it from here.

Congrats to @strix_ai on 50,000 stars for their open-source agentic penetration testing.
Top repository of the week on GitHub, so we benchmarked against them. Same ten production apps, same source access, and same model.
zauth found 4.5x the vulnerabilities.
Full paper below.

The best hackers on the internet don't work for you, but starting now, one of them does.
We built an agent that hunts vulnerabilities like an attacker does. Until now it's only run where a customer asked.
Introducing Project Apex.
We're unleashing Vector on production systems, and we're going to find serious vulnerabilities. Smart contracts, repositories, packages, you name it.
We published a benchmark where our engine outperformed a far larger incumbent, but a paper only proves so much. A benchmark is a controlled room. The field isn't. The gap between "best on paper" and "best in practice" is where security tools fail, and the only way to close it is to show our work publicly.
The benchmark is our claim. We've built one of the most powerful pieces of cyber defense on the internet.
Apex will be the receipt.

We placed our penetration test head-to-head against @AikidoSecurity across 10 apps built on @Lovable.
We found 227 vulnerabilities. Aikido found 71.
Beyond the count, the exploits found were even more damning.

Our first burn and distribution to stakers is complete.
.25% of the solana:DNhQZ1CE9qZ2FNrVhsCXwQJ2vZG8ufZkcYakTS5Jpump supply was permanently burnt, with this cycle continuing every 60 days.
In the near future, expect updates on our recent product benchmarks, partnerships, a website redesign, and much more.

Read this report by Lovable's head of security.
@Lovable is the leading vibe coding company and makes 500M in ARR. Their security partner, @AikidoSecurity, is the largest builder in agentic cybersec, and is worth a billion dollars.
@zauthinc found 2x more vulnerabilities than aikido in a head to head benchmark.
This post by lovable is literally the exact direction zauth is building, I'll link zauth's recent post below. $ZAUTH gives exposure to a 300 billion dollar industry. First winners of the @Pumpfun hackathon, have several 9 figure companies as customers, are putting revenue into the chart, and are incredibly undervalued.
This is my big bet.

Stay safe 🔐
Now you can run an agentic security scan directly inside Noah with @zauth before going live.
Full flow in the demo below 👇
Proud to announce that when you build with @TryNoahAI, you can run our agentic security scan before your site's live.
AI carries ~2.7x the vulnerabilities of human code, big props to the team for taking security seriously.
If your app has or will have users, it needs a pentest.

The reason I love the idea of a tokenized startup is because there's a very tiny amount of companies in general that actually have the community we have at zauth.
Most companies at our stage are begging for distribution, paying for reach, fighting to get anyone to care. If you scroll on our X, whenever we talk about our services, we get an immense amount of support.
2000 holders (and growing) are aligned with our success.
This is why it's completely reasonable for us as a company to give 50% of our crypto revenue back to the community in some form.
This is what a tokenized startup should look like. If the community is the reason we have distribution, support, and momentum that no other early startup has, then the community should share in what that creates.
I fully believe that it's an extremely compelling narrative for investors, VCs, and individuals. Everyone is looking for the unfair advantage, the thing you can't copy. Ours is a community that is structurally aligned with our success and rewarded for it.
Our future at zauth is blindingly bright, so much work ahead of us, it feels like we haven't even started.
Staking is live with burns and distributions every 60 days.

zauth just beat a billion dollar competitor. It's sitting at a $5 million market cap.
Take two minutes and read why I think this is one of the most bullish, scalable visions I've ever seen.
AI agents are becoming the new layer of the internet. They move money. They write and deploy code. They make decisions at speeds humans can't supervise in real time. The infrastructure to actually secure that, to verify what agents are doing, to protect what they're touching, it barely exists.
That's the canyon, and @zauthinc is building the bridge.
In December, I began as an investor. After weeks of advising behind the scenes and realizing where this ship was going, I had a serious conversation with @willhasroot and became a cofounder. I've been in this space five years, and met a lot of incredible people. Will is by far the most talented and capable developer I've encountered. Not close.
We both graduated college last year. While we have both, this isn't a story about youth or hunger. It's me telling you that we are spending the best years of our lives living, breathing, and sleeping zauth, because we see a billion dollar vision in front of us and we're not letting it go.
Here's the insight that I keep coming back to:
Security was never built for the small developer. Why would it be? Before AI, building a large functional product took thousands of dollars, weeks of time, and an entire team. That same product now takes a $200 subscription and a weekend. The largest growing cohort of developers in history exists right now, and almost none of them have real security tooling available to them.
That's what we change.
I've invested in thousands of projects, and have been fortunate enough to ride quite a few from <$1M to nine figures. I have never been this confident in something. Not even close. And the reason is simple. It is the most real business I've ever been a part of. It's relevant to Web3, but expands far beyond it. The security industry is worth 250 billion dollars and it's going to get flipped on its head. The opportunity in front of zauth is massive. The largest companies in the world have doubled down on our claim that AI security is the future. There is land for the taking.
I don't think you can change your life putting a few thousand dollars into the S&P. I do think that possibility is real with zauth.
This is not financial advice. I am a cofounder and investor.
If you have any questions, feedback, or concerns about zauth, ask away. I am confident that if you take the time to do research on it, you will be as blown away as I was.
