Founding Smart Contract Engineer in San Francisco, California at Guardrail.ai

To secure the next generation of the web

For web3 to get into the hands of mainstream users, there cannot be exploits that steal millions of dollars in a single atomic transaction. The current exploit detection and response solutions are not sufficient to keep billions of dollars secure. We believe a combination of research-based and data-driven detection solutions and a novel response solution will leapfrog the industry forward in the battle against exploiters.
