Blockchain technologies will empower a planetary-wide economic collaboration with efficient resource allocation in the near future, tracking capital, land, stock, government decisions, business, and governmental contracts. In the path towards this mainstream adoption of a "world wide ledger", our mission is to solve the foundational scientific and engineering challenges that stand in the way, in particular in the areas of interoperability, scalability, and usability.
We are scientists who prove protocols secure using mathematics, and pragmatic engineers who implement protocols and take them to production; and we culminate the synergy between the two. Our scientific team is openly publishing papers in A* peer-reviewed scientific conferences and journals on all the foundational topics in the space, with the goal of getting performant protocols proven secure, cited, appreciated, implemented, and deployed. Complementary, our engineering team is building core and foundational open source libraries and tooling to power the blockchain systems of tomorrow for the betterment of the community, focusing on Ethereum, Cosmos, and Bitcoin. We have a proven track record across Layer 1s, Layer 2s, and DeFi protocols, we’ve contributed to some of the most advanced systems in the field such as Axelar, Espresso Systems, Mysten Labs, Celestia, Babylon, and Flashbots.
