Fabric, Startup Building 'VPU' Chips for Cryptography, Raises $33M
Fabric Cryptography, a startup focused on hardware, has raised $33 million in a Series A fundraising round co-led by Blockchain Capital and 1kx.
Other participating investors included Offchain Labs, Polygon and Matter Labs. The project previously had raised $6 million in a seed round led by Metaplanet. Fabric was founded by MIT and Stanford dropouts Michael Gao and Tina Ju , along with hardware veterans such as Sagar Reddy, according to a press release.
The fresh funds will be used to "build computing chips, software and cryptographic algorithms," the company said.
At the heart of Fabric's roadmap is a new processing unit known as the "verifiable processing unit," or VPU, which will be tailored to handle cryptography, according to the project.
Companies are developing new computing chips to handle rising use from AI – with its heavy demand for fast computation from graphics processing units, or GPUs – as well as cryptography-intensive blockchain applications.
Fabric said in the press release that the VPU is "the first custom silicon chip that uses an instruction set architecture specific to cryptography," which means that "any cryptographic algorithm can be broken down into its mathematical building blocks that are natively accelerated and supported by the chip."
The new chips are slated to go into production later this year, Fabric said.
The VPUs are "poised to drastically improve the speed and cost of running advanced cryptographic workloads, compared to CPUs, GPUs and fixed-function cryptography," according to the press release. They "will do for cryptography what Nvidia’s GPUs and many other startups’ chips are doing for AI."

241114: 需求飙升,比特币创下 9.3 万美元历史新高
受美国投资者需求激增的推动,比特币在 11 月 13 日创下超过 93,000 美元的历史新高。此次价格上涨始于美国市场开盘,表明美国买家发挥了重要作用。值得注意的是,衡量美国购买压力的比特币 Coinbase 溢价指数创下 4 月以来的最高水平。此外,贝莱德的 iShares 比特币 ETF (IBIT) 交易活跃,在交易的第一个小时内以 12 亿美元的交易量成为交易量第四大的 ETF。 分析师强调,此次反弹主要是由现货驱动的,这意味着购买压力来自直接购买,而不是合约交易。这种模式表明需求持续,因为现货累计交易量增量 (CVD) 显示出与价格上涨相关的强劲净购买趋势。截至中午,比特币交易价
