As Ethereum prices and investments surge to ATHs, the need for security could not be any higher for companies and consumers. Today, the average loss companies experience during a hack is about $30 million, but in the cryptocurrency world that number can be much higher. For example, earlier this year we witnessed the Parity Wallet hack that lead to 512,774 ether ($242mm USD) being stolen, and in 2016 the DAO hack that lead to $60 million USD worth of ether being compromised. What if I said that these hacks could have been prevented by correctly auditing their Ethereum smart contracts? QuantStamp (QSP), a project out of Y Combinator’s winter 2018 class, has set out to fill this massive void in the market and become the first decentralized smart contract security audit platform. Today, QSP trades at $.16, but within the next 12 months I see this token trading at $3.20 because of the resources and backing that Y Combinator offers, a pipeline of 40 audits scheduled, partnerships with Request Network and others, and the additional drivers of growth that I will outline below.
