TOOL protocol developer nuConstruct has completed a seed round financing led by Cyber Fund, with plans to achieve 1-second transaction confirmation on the Ethereum mainnet

The Web3 infrastructure team nuConstruct announced the completion of a $6 million seed round financing led by Cyber Fund, with participation from Maven11, DCG, Greenfield, Eden Block, and others. Its core product TOOL (Trustless Orderflow Operations Layer) is dedicated to dividing Ethereum's 12 second block generation into 12 1-second micro rounds, achieving 1-second transaction confirmation without the need for Rollup. TOOL builds a trusted execution environment through Intel TDX TEE to ensure on chain privacy and fair sorting, with the goal of replacing Flashbots MEV boost and improving on chain transaction user experience. The protocol does not require pledging or punishment mechanisms, and relies entirely on economic incentives and decentralized network support. Currently, it is in the small-scale testing stage, with plans to achieve a pre commitment rate of over 50% for validators and a proportion of over 80% of order flow within three months.
