About Snowfork Hub
Join us in managing DeFi’s risk. We are at the forefront of enhancing capital efficiency while upholding the economic security of major crypto protocols through our cutting-edge simulations. With over $9 billion in assets under our watch, we take charge of risk management and incentives.
Our commitment to the DeFi sector extends to our continuous publication of pioneering research. We are the most frequently cited source for peer-reviewed articles in the DeFi field. As a Series B company with around 60 team members, we have adopted a remote-first approach to our operations, with our headquarters located in New York City.
Our core mission is to enhance the safety and trustworthiness of blockchain protocols and smart contracts for users. Developing decentralized systems introduces unique challenges for protocol and smart contract developers, as well as asset holders, which differ from traditional development and investment processes.
We are actively constructing a blockchain simulation and testing platform that draws upon techniques from diverse industries to replicate interactions within crypto networks. Simulation enhances transparency and significantly reduces the costs associated with experimentation, empowering teams to efficiently design, launch, and scale new decentralized systems. To be part of our mission, apply now.
