Nucleo builds private, non-custodial, auditable multi-signature infrastructure on Ethereum using advanced multi-signature and zero-knowledge cryptography. The product targets organizations seeking privacy with auditability for on-chain treasuries, fundraising, and operations. Nucleo partners with privacy networks such as Aztec, Aleo, and Espresso Systems to encourage adoption and interoperability. The company plans integrations with existing organization tools including Juicebox and Gnosis and intends to develop private DeFi for organizations, multi-chain privacy, and broader tech-stack innovations. Nucleo launched with a team of over seven professionals and is hiring full-stack and security engineers. Its recent seed raise will fund team expansion and product development to support private multi-sig integration and new capabilities.
