The TOOL protocol developer nuConstruct has completed a seed round of financing led by Cyber Fund, aiming to achieve 1-second transaction confirmations on the Ethereum Mainnet.

PANews, June 11 - The Web3 infrastructure team nuConstruct announced the completion of a $6 million seed round funding led by Cyber Fund, with participation from Maven11, DCG, Greenfield, Eden Block, and others. Its core product TOOL (Trustless Orderflow Operations Layer) aims to divide Ethereum's 12-second block time into 12 one-second micro rounds, achieving one-second transaction confirmation without the need for Rollup. TOOL builds a trusted execution environment through Intel TDX TEE, ensuring on-chain privacy and ordering fairness, with the goal of replacing Flashbots MEV-boost and improving the user experience of on-chain transactions. The protocol does not require staking or penalty mechanisms, relying entirely on economic incentives and decentralized network support. It is currently in a small-scale testing phase, with plans to achieve over 50% validator pre-commitment rate and over 80% order flow share within three months.
