About FuzzLand
FuzzLand is a blockchain security company focused on automated smart contract testing. Its core product, ityfuzz, is a hybrid fuzzer that combines concrete execution with symbolic reasoning to detect vulnerabilities in EVM and MoveVM-based contracts. The company also offers Blaz+, a real-time monitoring and alerting suite that continuously analyzes on-chain state changes and flags malicious transactions within milliseconds.
Its main value proposition lies in moving beyond one-time audits. Traditional audits are static snapshots — they miss issues introduced after deployment through upgrades or new interactions. FuzzLand's approach provides ongoing, automated surveillance of live contracts, reducing the window between an exploit being possible and being detected.
The market pain point is clear: DeFi protocols lose hundreds of millions of dollars annually to exploits that often exploit state-dependent bugs invisible to point-in-time reviews. FuzzLand addresses this by simulating every state change and alerting on suspicious behavior as it happens.
One notable negative event occurred in September 2024, when a former employee with a false identity embedded a malicious backdoor in FuzzLand's internal tooling, leading to a ~$2M exploit of the Bedrock UniBTC protocol. FuzzLand took responsibility and reimbursed affected parties, but the incident raised questions about insider risk and supply-chain security.
Regarding the period from March to September 2026, no reliable public information is available. The company's official website and Twitter do not disclose verifiable developments within this timeframe, so this section is omitted.
Founded in 2022 by UC Berkeley researchers, FuzzLand launched the open-source snapshot-based fuzzer ItyFuzz, which became a foundational tool for automated smart contract security testing. In early 2024, the company secured a $3M seed round led by 1kx, enabling product expansion. Later that year, it formed a strategic alliance with Chainlink Labs to support BUILD projects, integrating its automated analysis into broader DeFi security infrastructure. In January 2025, FuzzLand was acquired by Solayer, marking its transition from an independent startup to an integrated component of a larger blockchain security ecosystem. These milestones reflect its evolution from academic research to commercial deployment and eventual consolidation.
