SpaceComputer raises $10M seed round led by Maven11 to build Space-Native Computing Infrastructure.

SpaceComputer, a Singapore-based startup building a satellite-powered blockchain infrastructure, has raised $10 million in a seed round led by Maven11 and Lattice to develop what it calls “space-native” computing for secure onchain operations. The company is designing an orbital “SpaceTEE” (Space Trusted Execution Environment) and a Celestial satellite network intended to act as a tamper‑resistant root of trust for blockchains and cryptographic services. This seed round follows a pre-seed announced earlier in 2025 and brings total funding to about $10 million disclosed for this stage. The capital will fund design, build, and launch of SpaceComputer’s first satellites, the custom secure hardware that runs in orbit, and development of its validator client and consensus protocol, drawing on research by coordinator and advisor Professor Dahlia Malkhi. The network aims to offer confidential computation, co-processing for blockchains, secure custody, and immutable logging from space, positioning orbital nodes as a way to mitigate physical seizure risks, state-level attacks, and certain forms of collusion that can affect terrestrial infrastructure. The round attracted a broad group of crypto and Web3 investors, including Superscrypt, Arbitrum Foundation, Offchain Labs, HashKey, Chorus One and others, alongside individual backers such as Marc Weinstein, Jason Yanowitz and Ameen Soleimani. The deal underscores growing interest in off‑planet infrastructure for cryptography and Web3, where satellites are used as neutral, hard-to-tamper-with execution environments for verification and security-critical tasks. If SpaceComputer can deploy its Celestial network and SpaceTEE units as planned, its services could become a specialized security layer for multiple blockchains, offering verifiable compute and confidential smart contract execution that leverage the physical security properties of space rather than just software-based defenses.
