Hands-on research & education
Tech due dilligence & security audits
A comprehensive research and analysis service to examine decentralized applications. Our team of experts will analyse smart contracts, the frameworks that were used and third-party applications required.
Get a detailed report on all found issues, vulnerabilities and optimization potentials. Use our recommendations and risk assessment to improve your own applications or understand an existing project (e.g., before launch, investment or involvement).
Training & Consulting
Find out how to integrate blockchain technology into your tech-stack and products. Together we examine your business processes and determine where decentralized components could improve your system and increase efficiency.
Introduce your developers to blockchain technology and gain valuable inhouse knowledge. We will guide you through the best-practices for developing, testing and running decentralized applications.
