Quantstamp Announcements

Quantstamp is excited to announce the launch of our security platform for select partners. Pantera, Parafi Capital, gumi Cryptos Capital, Republic, and Lyrik Ventures—along with their respective portfolio companies—will have access to a suite of security services that will provide an unparalleled advantage in securely launching and scaling their projects.

“This partnership will allow the most promising web3 companies to ship faster and be first to market without compromising security,” says Don Ho of Quantstamp. “We were one of the first smart contract auditors in the world, and this pioneering spirit is at the core of how we operate. We’re committed now to building the next phase of the ecosystem beyond audits, and by partnering with some of the best venture firms in the space, we’re excited to help securely onboard the next billion users.”

Quantstamp ultimately chose these venture funds as they are all industry leaders with a strong track record of backing innovative and high caliber founders throughout the web3 space. Their portfolio companies will not only be given priority access to Quantstamp audits, but will receive extra support in terms of audit preparation and ongoing security workshops.

With numerous hacks and exploits occurring over the past year, the DeFi landscape has continued to grow in both potential and complexity. Through this program, Quantstamp is excited to drive more widespread adoption of best practices both before and after audits. To learn more about the program or apply for a future cohort of select venture partners, contact us: [email protected].
