Beldex is excited to announce the close of an $8 million funding round. This will accelerate default on privacy at the intersection of Web3 and artificial intelligence.
The round was closed on 15 August 2026, led by Sigma Capital, with participation from NTC, Nxgen, Digital Consensus Fund, and EAK Ventures.
The new capital will be deployed exclusively toward engineering a unified, composable infrastructure layer and encrypted agent identities as well as SDKs and developer tooling for private tokens, applications while also focusing on protocol security and ecosystem growth.
Beldex’s ecosystem includes the Beldex Wallet for private transactions, BChat for encrypted messaging, BelNet for decentralized private networking, Beldex Browser for private browsing and Beldex Name Service (BNS) for human readable names across wallets, messaging and private web applications.
Key Focus
The next phase is focused on developing an EVM compatible sidechain, with the aim of giving developers already familiar with Ethereum tooling, an environment for building applications with privacy capabilities. This further necessitates the development of private tokens (confidential assets) and account based addresses that can support EVM.
Another key focus for the new funding will be privacy infrastructure for AI. As autonomous agents increasingly handle payments, credentials, communications and personal data, Beldex is exploring how its privacy stack can protect these interactions.
These include privacy-preserving agent identities through BNS, encrypted AI-powered communication via BChat, confidential payments, secure AI execution, and research into Fully Homomorphic Encryption for confidential computation as well as secure memory to protect sensitive data during processing.
Beldex will use the new funding, which has expanded its runway, to research and develop several short term and long term initiatives in its roadmap.
