About Us
At our organization, we serve as DeFi’s risk managers, overseeing capital efficiency while ensuring the economic safety of some of the largest crypto protocols through our simulations. We actively manage risk and incentives for a portfolio exceeding $40 billion in assets.
Our commitment to pioneering research has positioned us as the most frequently cited source of peer-reviewed articles within the DeFi sector. As a Series B company, we boast a team of approximately 60 employees who embrace a remote-first approach, with our main hub located in New York City.
Our core mission revolves around enhancing the safety and trustworthiness of blockchain protocols and smart contracts for users. The development of decentralized systems introduces novel challenges not encountered in traditional development and investment practices.
We are currently constructing a blockchain simulation and testing platform that leverages battle-tested methodologies from other industries to replicate interactions within crypto networks. Simulation offers transparency and substantially lowers the cost of experimentation, enabling teams to swiftly conceptualize, launch, and expand new decentralized systems.
