Halborn is an award-winning, elite cybersecurity company for blockchain organizations. Halborn serves as your reputable partner to continuously assess an organization’s most vital assets, save time in your development lifecycle and provide world-class cybersecurity consulting and assessments every step of the way — far beyond smart contracts.
RISC Zero: RISC Zero is a startup creating the infrastructure & tooling necessary for developers around the globe to build software that leverages ZK technology.
ZK technology is staged to re-shape the way we interact digitally. Historically, the only method for confirming the correct execution of a software application was through redundant computation. ZK introduces a new option: verifiable computation.
It's now possible to pair a program's output with a self-certifying receipt, allowing a skeptical third party to verify correct execution — and the verifier doesn't need to repeat the original computation or even see the inputs to the program!
Verifiable computation is a game changer for the resilience and economics of operating the computing infrastructure we all rely on. It creates a number of emergent use cases which we are excited to enable. Key among these use cases are:
zk coprocessors, which enable on-chain applications to reduce gas costs by moving the complex part of their application logic off-chain
blockchain infrastructure, including our work with Optimism
To enable ZK builders to thrive, we're working on two core products: the zkVM and Bonsai.
Beefy: Beefy is a Decentralized, Multichain Yield Optimizer that allows its users to earn compound interest on their crypto holdings. Beefy earns you the highest APYs with safety and efficiency in mind.
Through a set of investment strategies secured and enforced by smart contracts, Beefy automatically maximizes the user rewards from various liquidity pools (LPs), automated market making (AMM) projects, and other yield farming opportunities in the DeFi ecosystem.
The main product offered by Beefy Finance are the Vaults in which you stake your crypto tokens. The investment strategy tied to the Vault will automatically increase your deposited token amount by compounding arbitrary yield farm reward tokens back into your initially deposited asset. Despite the name Vault suggests, your funds are never locked in any Vault on Beefy: you can always withdraw at any moment in time.
Eclipse: Eclipse Mainnet is Ethereum's fastest Layer 2, powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).
Eclipse Mainnet combines the best pieces of the modular stack:
Settlement: Ethereum - Eclipse will settle to Ethereum (i.e., the enshrined validating bridge will be on Ethereum) and use ETH as its gas token.
Execution: Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) - Eclipse will run the highly performant SVM as its execution environment.
Data Availability: Celestia - Eclipse will post its data to Celestia for scalable data availability (DA).
Proving: RISC Zero - Eclipse will use RISC Zero for ZK proofs of fraud (without intermediate state serialization!).
RockawayX Infrastructure is a veteran, bare metal validator located in Central Europe. Our validator operations are handled in-house with a team of dedicated engineers; we do not rely on cloud providers or third-parties.
