About Iron Fish

Iron Fish, a privacy-focused Layer 1 blockchain, has evolved through key milestones. In 2021, it raised $5.3M in seed funding and later $27.7M in Series A, reaching a $190M valuation. The mainnet launched in April 2023, introducing the Multi-Asset Shielded Pool (MASP) protocol for private transactions. A notable long-term event occurred in March 2025 when Coinbase's Base acquired the Iron Fish development team (excluding the chain and token), aiming to integrate privacy features into Base's Layer 2 ecosystem. This acquisition signals a strategic shift toward mainstream privacy adoption, while the Iron Fish Foundation continues to support the original network independently.

Negative: On April 20, 2026, the Foundation announced it would move Iron Fish into maintenance mode after Devco was acquired by Coinbase, ceasing new grants and closing Discord, halting active development. Positive: The Foundation continues running infrastructure, the network remains decentralized, and ecosystem projects like OreoWallet and SuiFish transition to independent community development.
