Naoris Protocol Raises $3M In Strategic Round Led By Mason Labs

New institutional round opens following strong demand and six-month due diligence

Naoris Protocol , the first quantum-resistant blockchain and cybersecurity mesh architecture, has raised $3 million in a strategic funding round led by Mason Labs, which includes Frekaz Group, Level One Robotics, and Tradecraft Capital, following a six-month technical due diligence process.

The round, which includes proceeds from Naoris's public sale and related allocations, was oversubscribed, prompting the team to open a new institutional raise - now live as of today, Thursday, 29 May.

Mason Labs, a leading venture capital firm focused on infrastructure-grade technologies, conducted a detailed review of Naoris Protocol's post-quantum trust structure prior to securing the entire VIP allocation.

This latest round follows a $31 million fundraise in 2022 backed by Tim Draper, the Holdun Family Office, Expert DOJO, Uniera, and other institutional investors.

Naoris Protocol is led by a team of cybersecurity, defense, and blockchain leaders, including:

• David Holtzman, former CTO of IBM and architect of the DNS protocol
• Ambassador for Morocco to the EU and former CEO of Microsoft North Africa
• former White House Chief of Staff
• former Major General (ret.) and Chief of Norwegian Armed Forces Cyber Defence

The protocol offers a plug-and-play cybersecurity mesh designed to protect any EVM blockchain or enterprise system from the sub-zero layer upward, without requiring a hard fork. Its decentralized security layer is powered by post-quantum cryptography and AI, and aligned with standards from NIST, NATO, and ETSI.

Naoris Protocol also runs a quantum-resistant Layer 1 blockchain secured by its proprietary Proof-of-Security (dPoSec) consensus mechanism.

About Naoris Protocol

is the world's first Decentralized Post-Quantum Infrastructure, built to secure both Web3 and Web2 against traditional and quantum threats. Operating beneath blockchain layers 0 to 3 as a Sub-Zero Layer, it integrates with existing EVM chains, nodes, bridges, dApps, enterprise systems, and IoT devices without requiring hard forks.

Naoris Protocol combines Post-Quantum Cryptography, dPoSec Consensus, and Decentralized Swarm AI to create a self-healing security mesh that eliminates single points of failure. Since launching in January 2025, it has processed over 64 million transactions and mitigated 341 million threats. Powered by the $NAORIS token, it is the fastest-growing trust and security layer for a quantum-resilient internet.
