Harmonic.SecurityNamecheap customer – (United States)

Cybersecurity developers leverage .Security domains to build credibility, harness AI, and signal their dedication to protecting digital assets. AI-driven company DryRun.Security enhances contextual code risk analysis for development teams. AI-driven platform Reach.Security aims to transform enterprise cybersecurity operations. Cybersecurity platform Astrix.Security strives to keep enterprise systems secure from cyber attacks and data breaches. In this week’s #AIMonday, we’ll introduce you to a company using AI to help organizations manage GenAI adoption while minimizing data security risks: Harmonic.Security.

Inside Harmonic: A platform built for AI-era data protection

Harmonic.Security is the online home of Harmonic, a cybersecurity platform designed to help organizations adopt Generative AI (GenAI) while minimizing risk to sensitive data. According to Harmonic, the platform is designed to provide visibility into employee usage of AI tools and to address security and compliance challenges associated with unmanaged GenAI adoption. Its browser-based solution is described as offering continuous monitoring and policy enforcement across thousands of AI applications. ​In October 2024, Harmonic raised $17.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Next47, with participation from Ten Eleven Ventures, bringing the company’s total funding to over $26 million since its launch in 2023.1

How Harmonic uses AI to support safer GenAI use

According to Harmonic, the platform incorporates artificial intelligence designed to support a range of data protection functions. Harmonic is designed to detect personal and sensitive data—such as intellectual property, payment information, and customer records—before it’s shared with GenAI tools. Its core AI feature, Maestro, is built to interpret natural-language instructions and provide human-like detection of sensitive data. Harmonic states that its platform is designed to surface insights into AI usage trends across an organization, identify unapproved applications—often referred to as “Shadow AI”—and provide tools intended to coach employees toward safer practices. These features are geared toward giving security teams a scalable way to oversee GenAI use without relying on complex rule-setting or manual reviews.

Leading with experience: Harmonic’s co-founder and CEO

According to his LinkedIn profile, Alastair Paterson co-founded Harmonic in 2023 and serves as its CEO. He previously co-founded and led cybersecurity firm Digital Shadows, which was acquired by ReliaQuest in 2022. Paterson brings years of experience working with secure government clients and large enterprises on cyber risk and intelligence programs. At Harmonic, he is focused on developing technologies aimed at helping companies use AI responsibly.

How real-world feedback brings Harmonic’s mission into focus

Featuring testimonials on a website can be an effective way to highlight real-world perspectives from early adopters and decision-makers. Harmonic.Security includes quotes from industry professionals who reflect on the challenges of adopting GenAI tools and the considerations that influenced their security approach. Sascha Maier, CISO at SV Group, states “We wanted to adopt GenAl tools but were worried about the risks to our sensitive data. Existing controls could block the whole category, but that’s not what we wanted. Harmonic gives me visibility and control.” Rinki Sethi, CISO at Bill.com, states “Data security is long overdue disruption. Harmonic is providing fresh thinking and new solutions to challenges amplified by Al.” Testimonials like these can help visitors understand use cases and concerns from the perspective of peers, making abstract security challenges more tangible. You can read more about the benefits of leveraging social proof in our latest Quarterly Report. You can learn more about Harmonic by following the platform on X/Twitter and LinkedIn @harmonic-security, and by visiting Harmonic.Security.

CanopyHub.xyzSquarespace customer – (United States)

Forward-thinking developers use .xyz domains to drive innovation in blockchain technology. DeFi infrastructure platform Gauntlet.xyz aims to inform protocol decisions through data-driven modeling. Unified search engine OnDora.xyz strives to simplify multichain interaction with blockchain solutions. DeFi platform Fission.xyz seeks to reshape private equity with tokenized venture investments. In this week’s #BlockchainThursday, we’ll introduce you to a platform designed to simplify DeFi yield strategies across the Movement network: CanopyHub.xyz.

CanopyHub.xyz: A platform designed to streamline DeFi yield strategies on Movement

CanopyHub.xyz is the online home of Canopy, a decentralized platform designed to help users explore and manage DeFi yield opportunities across the Movement network. The platform is geared towards making liquidity deployment and reward tracking more straightforward by offering custom-built strategies, a unified dashboard, and a reward distribution system. 

As part of the Move Collective accelerator by MovementLabs.xyz, Canopy is positioned to contribute infrastructure aimed at simplifying yield aggregation and improving liquidity efficiency. 

The platform is designed to align with Movement’s goal of supporting scalable and transparent financial applications. In January 2025, Canopy raised $1.2 million in a funding round led by Mechanism Capital and CitizenX, with participation from Primitive, GSR, and Side Door Ventures.1

A modular foundation: The four layers powering Canopy’s DeFi architecture

Canopy describes its structure as consisting of four layers. The Application Layer offers an interface intended to allow users to connect wallets and interact with strategies. The Reward Distribution Engine is designed to let projects offer token-based incentives, such as $MOVE or project-specific tokens. The Strategy Layer uses smart contracts that define how assets are deployed across DeFi protocols. The Protocol Layer includes integrations with platforms for lending, staking, and automated market making (AMMs). According to Canopy, these components are designed to support a modular system for building and accessing yield strategies on the Movement network.

A user-friendly interface for earning, exploring, and tracking DeFi rewards

The Canopy app includes three main pages. The Earn Page is designed to help users deposit assets into vaults with a few clicks. The Explore Page aims to display available strategies, vaults, and performance data. The Rewards Page is structured to consolidate earnings in one place and enable one-click claiming of rewards.

Yield strategies designed for efficiency, flexibility, and on-chain automation

Canopy offers strategies such as Single-Sided Liquidity, which is geared towards users who prefer to deposit a single token into a liquidity pool. According to Canopy, this strategy is designed to reduce the need for token swaps and maintain efficient inventory ratios during market fluctuations. It reportedly uses automated, on-chain logic to rebalance positions based on factors such as asset thresholds, price movements, or time intervals. Lending strategies are also available, enabling users to deposit supported assets like USDC, wETH, or MOVE into Movement-native lending markets such as MovePosition, Echelon, or LayerBank. These strategies are aimed at generating yield from lending while streamlining participation through Canopy’s interface.

CanopyHub.xyz: A domain to represent decentralized innovation

Canopy’s choice of the .xyz domain extension reflects its focus on innovation within the decentralized finance space. As a flexible and widely adopted domain among blockchain, web3, and AI projects, .xyz is frequently used by platforms aiming to introduce new models and ideas in emerging industries. By using CanopyHub.xyz, Canopy aligns its digital identity with a domain that is geared towards forward-thinking initiatives and accessible to a global audience. .XYZ also complements Canopy’s position within the Movement ecosystem, where projects frequently adopt next-generation tools and naming conventions to signal their role in shaping the future of decentralized infrastructure.

Ambient.xyzGoDaddy customer – (United States)

Innovative developers use .xyz domains to build at the crossroads of AI and blockchain technology. AI deployment platform Fleek.xyz aims to redefine cloud infrastructure with decentralized solutions. Crypto startup CryptoPond.xyz powers decentralized AI innovation for blockchain applications. Decentralized AI infrastructure platform StackAI.xyz is designed to support the AI agent economy with decentralized infrastructure and natural language deployment. In this week’s #AIMonday, we’ll introduce you to a platform combining blockchain infrastructure with large-scale AI computing to power the agentic economy: Ambient.xyz.

Ambient.xyz introduces a blockchain purpose-built for AI

Ambient.xyz is the online home of Ambient, a Layer-1 blockchain designed to support artificial intelligence as part of its core infrastructure. It combines the technical foundation of Solana—a fast and scalable blockchain platform—with a different kind of validation method called “Proof of Logits.” This system rewards users not just for securing the network, but also for running and improving a large AI model. Instead of solving random puzzles, participants help run and train the network’s shared model. In March 2025, Ambient announced it raised $7.2 million in seed funding from a16z’s crypto accelerator program, Delphi Digital, and Amber Group.1

The network is designed to reward trusted AI output

Ambient is designed to make sure that when someone uses its AI model, they can trust where the response came from. It does this through a process called “verified inference,” which checks that the model output matches what the network is expected to produce. This is aimed at helping to prevent tampering and improve consistency. Participants are rewarded for doing useful work—like answering questions with the model or improving its performance. The system also uses techniques that help large AI models run in smaller parts across many devices, helping more people contribute without needing high-end hardware.

CEO Travis Good sees Ambient as the next evolution of proof of work

Travis Good is the co-founder and CEO of Ambient. At the ETHDenver conference in 2025, Travis described Ambient as a response to the stagnation of traditional proof-of-work networks and outlined his vision of the platform as a potential alternative to Bitcoin, geared toward AI-driven applications. He emphasized the network’s compatibility with existing miner infrastructure and its integration of AI capabilities as core components of its economic model.

Ambient.xyz: A domain that reflects a future-facing mission

Ambient uses the domain name Ambient.xyz as the foundation of its online presence. .XYZ is often chosen by projects that lead in innovation, offering a flexible, memorable, and globally understood domain. Its broad appeal makes it a fitting choice for a network aiming to provide open AI infrastructure that welcomes developers, users, and contributors from around the world.
