SodaLabs
Enable Privacy, Enhance Security
We transform advanced cryptography into products that enable privacy and enhance security. Among other threshold cryptography schemes, we utilize innovative techniques of Garbled Circuits.
About Us
Soda Labs was founded by Dr. Avishai Yanai and Dr. Meital Levy, accomplished industry leaders in the fields of cryptography, data science, and cybersecurity. Their experiences and passions intersected after identifying a long-standing gap between the increasingly growing value of data and the stagnation in the adoption of solutions for access control, security, and privacy. This gap impedes collaboration among organizations, enterprises, and individuals, preventing the full extraction of invaluable societal benefits should the data be combined.
Presently, the vast majority of organizations' security officers are unaware of the solutions that modern cryptography has to offer. Breakthroughs of recent years in the field of threshold cryptography and garbling enable such security and privacy solutions to be deployed in real-world systems without compromising on performance.
Our Mission: To Redefine Privacy Standards
Our mission is to push data privacy and security to the fullest extent possible without compromising on its utility - the ability to benefit from data pooling.
Cutting-edge Solutions
We design secure computation (MPC) protocols that enable collaboration on private data and are at least 10x lighter and faster than existing solutions, (e.g., ZK and FHE), for many real-world use-cases. Our protocols utilize an innovative mixture of various cryptographic schemes, threshold cryptographic protocols and garbling schemes. At the same time, we design our solutions to be seamlessly integrated, requiring as little change as possible to existing organizational pipelines and workflow.
Web3 First
Identifying the Web3 space as one where advanced cryptography is adopted at a higher pace than usual, and where data privacy is desperately lacking, our goal is to provide a fully-fledged solution to Web3 first. Aligned with our objective, we chose to focus on EVM based blockchains, where most developers and important events land, to minimize friction with existing workflows.

Mastering Data Ownership
As one of our key principles, we believe that data should be controlled by its creators/owners - the end users, not the corporations, businesses or governments who store it. After demonstrating such capabilities to the world, we aim at engaging in policy discussions, contributing to standard-setting bodies, and working with regulatory authorities to influence legislation and industry standards.
Meet the Minds Behind Soda Labs
Soda Labs founders are a collection of seasoned doctors and mathematicians with vast experience across multiple disciplines.
Avishay Yanai Ph.D
Co-Founder and CEO
Experience: Dr. Yanai’s extensive experience derives from his role about 5 years of work at VMware as a Cryptography Researcher in the fields of Secure Computation (MPC), Federated Learning, Privacy and Anonymity, Blockchain, and Digital/Crypto Currencies. Additionally, he has served as an advisor for various blockchain companies.

Meital Levy Ph.D
Co-Founder and CTO
Experience: Dr. Levy was an R&D Senior Software Engineer at Bar Ilan University, in the Applied Cryptography and Cyber Security Center for 13 years. There, she was in charge of the requirements, design, and development of the SCAPI open-source Java and C++ library for secure multiparty computation protocols. Then, in 2023 she partnered up with Dr. Yanai to establish Soda Labs.
