What Chaos Labs does

Chaos Labs is a New York-based financial AI infrastructure company founded in 2021 that builds risk management, oracle, and financial intelligence products for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, exchanges, and institutional crypto market participants. The company's product suite comprises three core pillars: Chaos Oracles (Edge Oracles), a risk-aware oracle stack providing real-time price feeds updated five times per second with built-in anomaly detection and circuit breakers; Risk Management & Analytics, an end-to-end risk intelligence platform using agent-based and Monte Carlo simulations for parameter tuning, scenario-driven risk insights, and live protocol monitoring; and Chaos AI, a natural-language financial intelligence platform trained on four years of proprietary and public crypto data. A fourth product, Chaos Vaults, is an AI-powered onchain yield platform embedded into Kraken DeFi Earn.

The company generates revenue primarily through subscription-based enterprise service agreements with DeFi protocols for risk management and oracle services, with quote-based pricing for protocol integrations and a managed services model for Chaos Vaults. Its go-to-market combines enterprise direct sales for risk management and oracle integrations, API/infrastructure delivery for oracle feeds, and product-led growth for Chaos AI (currently waitlist-based) and Chaos Vaults (embedded in exchange partners). The company has secured more than $200 billion in assets across dozens of protocols and its infrastructure has powered over $5 trillion in transaction volume, with named customers including Aave (partnership ended April 2026), Ethena, Jupiter, GMX, LayerZero, Pendle, Kraken, BENQI, EtherFi, Frax Finance, USDT0, Solv Protocol, Arch Network, Tempo, and HyENA. Chaos Labs has raised approximately $75 million in funding across a $20 million seed round (February 2023, led by Galaxy and PayPal Ventures) and a $55 million Series A (August 2024, led by Haun Ventures), with additional backing from Coinbase Ventures, OpenAI, Lightspeed, Bessemer Venture Partners, F-Prime, General Catalyst, Spartan Capital, Slow Ventures, and Fireblocks.

Direct peers

• Chainlink Labs: Chainlink is the dominant decentralized oracle network delivering price feeds and offchain data to DeFi protocols, including lending platforms, DEXes, and stablecoins. Chaos Labs' Edge Oracles compete head-to-head for the same oracle integration slots, evidenced by Tydro migrating from Chaos back to Chainlink after a 2026 security incident.
• Gauntlet: Gauntlet provides algorithmic risk management, parameter optimization, and economic security advisory for DeFi protocols including Aave, Compound, and lending/perp venues. It is the closest direct competitor to Chaos Labs' Risk Management & Analytics product, having also served Aave during overlapping periods.
• RedStone Finance: RedStone is a modular oracle network providing price feeds and yield/rate benchmarks to DeFi lending and yield protocols. It serves overlapping customers (e.g., lending markets on Avalanche and EVM chains) and competes for the same oracle infrastructure integrations as Chaos Oracles.
• API3: API3 operates first-party oracles and OEV-network infrastructure delivering price and market data to DeFi protocols. It is directly comparable to Chaos Oracles as an institutional/data-source-first oracle alternative competing on feed quality and transparency.
• Pyth Network: Pyth Network aggregates low-latency price feeds from trading firms for use by DEXs, perps, and lending protocols. It overlaps directly with Chaos Labs' oracle business, particularly for high-throughput perp DEX integrations such as Jupiter and GMX-adjacent venues.
• Sentora: Sentora (the rebranded DeFi security and analytics arm of Quantstamp) provides audits, security monitoring, and onchain risk intelligence to DeFi protocols and exchanges. It is directly comparable to Chaos Labs' Risk Management & Analytics and Kraken DeFi Earn risk oversight.

Emerging players

• Hypernative: Hypernative provides real-time threat detection, onchain security, and pre-exploit risk monitoring for DeFi protocols and digital asset institutions. It overlaps with Chaos Labs' anomaly detection, circuit-breaker, and monitoring capabilities within Edge Oracles and risk dashboards.
• Blockaid: Blockaid focuses on smart-contract and transaction-level security monitoring for wallets, protocols, and exchanges. Its onchain monitoring complements Chaos Labs' risk intelligence stack and serves overlapping customers in DeFi security.
• Solid (formerly RiskDAO): Solid (RiskDAO rebrand) provides DeFi risk scoring, collateral monitoring, and protocol risk dashboards aimed at lending markets. It overlaps directly with Chaos Labs' Risk Explorer and exposure simulation tooling used by Aave and other lenders.
• Chronicle Labs: Chronicle Labs operates a decentralized oracle protocol (originally Runes/UMA-derived) delivering price feeds to lending and stablecoin protocols. It is a comparable oracle infrastructure peer competing on-chain-data-first pricing.
