The metaverse is quite possibly the future of the internet. To help our readers learn more about it, we've started this metaverse interview series. These are the questions we've compiled to ask experts in blockchain, DAOs, NFTs, and game development, within the HackerNoon community. The series is intended for tech professionals to contribute their insights about the current state and the future of the metaverse. If you too would like to start contributing to Hacker Noon, you can do so here. If you also want to publish your thoughts about the metaverse, answer the template here. HackerNoon Reporter: So let’s start! First, tell us a bit about yourself. For example, name, profession, and personal interests. My name is Matthew Proffitt. I’m a 26-year old, six-figure freelance consultant, financial analyst (certified FMVA), and content marketer that has helped more than 30 companies secure funding—over $500 million altogether since 2017. I specialize in ESG, emerging tech, and disruptive tech. Some days I type upward of 1500/2000 words per hour (without dictating) and some days, my ADHD gets the best of me, so I go down the dopamine rabbit holes and type like 50 words per hour. Thankfully, I get paid for ideas and insights in addition to content. I enjoy gaming, photography, reading, writing, listening to, and recently making music. I don’t have any music published yet, but I’ve been dabbling for about a year now. I’ve served as a thought-leader “behind the curtain” in more than 20 industries including Web 3.0, cloud computing, drones, cybersecurity, and management consulting. Please sum up what the metaverse is in 1 to two paragraphs. The metaverse is, essentially the next step in the human experience. Millennials have been a fortunate generation in many ways. We’ve seen the transition from AOL (before my time, haha.) to Web 2.0 and the wonders that HTML, among other elements, has brought. We saw the birth of technology like Augmented Reality and Quantum Computing IRL. (There are QCs available to businesses now—we live in the future.) Now, the metaverse is becoming a sovereign space for creators and consumers. It’s a place where people can go to build things that they own. It’s impossible to own a forgery of an NFT, for example. Someone can own the same image, even identical image attributes, but never a fake NFT, something people seem to forget when calling “theft” and other (still offensive) actions out. At a high level, the metaverse is a fusion of infrastructure, technology, experience, identity, and proof of ownership. Are you currently, directly or indirectly, working on building a metaverse? I support Web 3.0 and metaverse businesses alongside other clients. I’ve collaborated with a few NFT projects for ideation on things like world-building and story crafting, marketing, and many other things. I’m indirectly working on building in the metaverse. I attended NFT-focused event on Feb. 23rd, 2022. It was hosted , a non-profit network that supports underdog entrepreneurs in the Appalachian Highlands. I also just finished a grant-related PR for a Web 3.0 client that may prove infrastructural in the months and years to come. FoundersForge In your opinion, is the metaverse inevitable, or is it just another passing trending tech topic that'll lose hype? There’s no avoiding it any more than there was avoiding bitcoin. It will definitely lose hype—by nature, hype is meant to fade. The Gartner “ ” is a common reference for people seeking to learn which stage of adoption a given type of technology is in. Technology Hype Cycle Why is the metaverse such a revolutionary concept? The metaverse is revolutionary because there has never been a phase in human history that we could bring so many disruptive forces together at once. I would go so far as to say that . Once we find effective means to combine manufacturing, logistics, machine vision, , and automation, and all formats of AI/ML into the mix, I don’t think anyone can see where we will end up. To me, the metaverse is a summary of technological progress to date. we are building the singularity today quantum computing autonomization To sum it up, It’s the . beginning of the next chapter in human history What can people build in the metaverse that we can't build on the Internet, or in virtual reality today? What limitations of our current technology does the metaverse free us from? Simply put, the metaverse doesn’t necessarily free us from technological limitations by existing. It does, however, open new potential avenues of progress. Things like immersive AR/VR are already here—I’ve spent a fair bit of time exploring through my Quest 2, but I know I’m just scratching the surface. The most important thing that I see people building in the metaverse is experience. We’re now building experiences based on things that we own. It’s like when you’re playing a game—you farm for loot, grind away hours of your life, and you own the items you get, right? Not in Web 2.0—if a developer shuts their game down, you’ve got nothing. Seeing games like (This link will take you to the Darkwinds Discord server) that lost their footing (and developers) can still exist after losing the founding team—held by a community—it’s exhilarating. Darkwinds How are the metaverse and blockchain technology related? Can we build a metaverse without blockchain tech? This depends on how you relate concepts that underpin these concepts. Blockchain is, effectively, to the metaverse what seconds, minutes, and hours are to this portion of reality. If we compare block time against an average of 10 minutes ($BTC), we’re just converting from minutes into block time. So as far as I’m concerned, no. they’re inextricably linked—inseparable. History is written by the victors —Winston Churchill If you apply this concept to blockchain, it holds true, no matter what method we use to reach consensus. Effectively, there’s a multiverse of orphaned, rejected, and abandoned blocks—each containing a different shard of reality—a timeline of its own. The metaverse as I see it, cannot exist without blockchain—distributed consensus and an immutable ledger of history. How quickly do you think the metaverse will be developed? How much can we expect metaverse tech to grow in the next 5 to 10 years? Given recent changes in public markets and available technology, I expect to see massive growth. In particular infrastructure and quality of life enhancements, such as the Hyundai//IonQ partnership for lithium battery research. Other advancements have been made, with respect to silicon-based quantum computing components and even quantum logic gates. Further, investments from the private sector and media (looking at you, Zuckerburg and Meta) have drastically accelerated public sector awareness of the concept. It’s kind of forcing people to accept the impending advancements. I’ll take a second to split out various tech components of the modern metaverse and what/how I expect to see progress. I’m only going to touch on areas where I’ve provided thought-leadership, whether as a byline or as a ghostwriter—blogs, eBooks, whitepapers, etc. Quantum computing: We will continue to see growth in commercial-grade quantum computers, with widely-respected companies like placing by 2028. Some of the other industry leaders, like (quantum software development.) For some framing, quantum-driven Natural Language Processing (QNLP) was able to in 2020. IonQ 1000+ qubit quantum computers on the horizon Classiq accommodate both grammar AND meaning for words and sentences There’s also been recent progress in quantum networking and quantum encryption. the longest range free space network that I’ve heard of to date employs quantum entanglement to a satellite over 1,200km away. There is already a as well, as of 2021. multinode quantum network A paper published by in Nov. 2021 reported that Google researchers, in collaboration with Stanford, had successfully created time crystals—quantum particle systems that organize themselves into a periodic pattern of motion that is rather than in space. Simply put, it’s , a new category of phases of matter altogether. Nature periodic in time simultaneously stable and always changing Gaming: I’ve been into gaming for over a decade—including co-founding two esports organizations to promote mental well-being and help address some of the toxicity underpinning the gaming and eSports communities. When I started them, I ended up taking on more than I could handle, so despite strong (Top 10 out of over 90 teams) Amateur placements at events like NJROD: King of The Couch (a Halo and Call of Duty-focused event at the time), national placements for Magic the Gathering, and a host of other teams, such as CS:GO and Hearthstone, we decided to shutter the ventures. Blockchain/Crypto/Web 3.0: We will continue to see new and exciting projects in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space in addition to Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and expansions upon Peer-to-Peer (P2P) finance elements, such as insurance. Flash loans were an exciting topic in 2021 for things like arbitrage, where your potential losses were able to be mitigated. One comical example was an individual —but ultimately paying only 0.2 $ETH (the cost of gas). buying their own CryptoPunk for $500 million Distributed Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)—I still remember when the Ethereum DAO was hacked in like 2017. The potential for benefit here is crazy, increased by an order of magnitude, at least, if combined with the other tech mentioned in this interview. DAOs can resolve nearly all of the G (governance-related) concerns in the ESG space if we utilize it properly over the next few decades. It’s not a silver bullet, however. Things like “Oracles” that onboard real-world data onto blockchains are just one key component of realizing the full potential of DAOs. I’ve seen a lot of discussion around stablecoins (such as , a former client of mine) and liquidity mining (such as Aave and curve), or pooling funds and letting someone else invest them—also known as “Yield Farming” between 2020 and 2021. There’s been some exciting progress there. Ultimately, you should only ever invest what you can afford to lose, however. Nothing is free—risk is an intangible currency all its own, you pay the risk upfront when you exchange value in any format. Everex Global Musicians like “Lil Bubble” have also made some meme-worthy songs, like this one about yield farming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42pUCIjC6ks And this one about DeFi as an overarching concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEs1Ezk9htU There has been a lot of mainstream visibility over the last couple of years, in particular as institutions like Goldman Sachs have , so much so that a wave of new scandals regarding governing-body personnel, such as Federal Reserve (FED) staff have incited sweeping sanctions on stock and crypto trading restrictions for FED personnel, including: begun investing funds into crypto Officials must provide 45-day non-retractable notice for transactions, receive pre-approval for purchases and sales and hold investments for at least one year Transactions will be prohibited during periods of heightened financial market stress ( ) Fortune.com Mobile processing: Qualcomm, Google, Apple, NXP Semiconductors, Samsung, and Ericsson are major mobile processing unit producers. Qualcomm Snapdragon, Google “Tensor”, Ericsson “NovaThor”, and other units have proven capable of impressive performance in a very small form factor. The Oculus Quest 2, as an example to kinda bring things back around to the metaverse, uses the Qualcomm XR2 mobile processing chipset (a variant of the Snapdragon 865 chipset that’s found in higher-end phones like the S20 Ultra from Samsung. It also uses the Adreno 650 graphics processor (GPU) from Qualcomm. It’s the first standalone VR headset to cross into “trillion floating-point operations per second” (Teraflops) territory. For comparison, a PS5 is capable of 10.3 Teraflops. That’s really exciting because the Quest 2 uses only about 5W of power for its mobile processor (CPU), whereas a PS5 uses a Zen-2 based custom processor. For all of its system operations, it uses 200W during gaming and purportedly as much as 90W just for watching Netflix. ( ) Note: These are two different sets of measurements showing the scale of difference—not a direct “apple and apple” comparison Energy Efficiency/ESG: We’re starting to see some crazy stuff here. There’s an AI that can control plasma now, by itself. It can even control the shape of the plasma. This may mean huge things for the safety and efficiency of nuclear power in the not-so-distant future. I’ve been really excited about this since I ghostwrote an article on Tokamak nuclear reactors, it was initially in 2017. I cannot link my article because it was ghostwritten, but we’re seeing really exciting stuff these days. inspired by this release from Tokamak Energy That doesn’t even begin to summarize it, though. I had a conversation with someone regarding a product that could work to balance carbon footprints and maybe even work to convert some of our waste products (like carbon dioxide, etc.) into energy—they were looking to raise funds, but we ultimately drifted apart before agreeing on a deal. Other things are under study and research here, like advanced air filtration (some are exploring air filtration to resolve pollution issues and aid in the reduction of climate change factors.) Tesla, of course, is making news with their (very) recent switch to (Lithium Iron Phosphate, specifically) for their standard-range vehicles. These are the , according to Power-Sonic, a battery manufacturer. producing Iron-based batteries safest lithium batteries that you can buy In conjunction with a multi-billion dollar initiative by the US Department of Energy, this may mean that the lower range is a far lesser concern. Now, when we are able to deploy stable nuclear reactors, we will quickly reach a tipping point wherein electric energy is far more sustainable than fossil fuels. If you think about it, your gas tank is basically just a (refillable) chemical potential battery. Some lead-based batteries last as long as 20 years, far longer than your current average car lifespan. Cybersecurity: There have been countless hacks over the last few years, including OpenSea, which has been a controversial compromise. People need to be aware that emails may be sent using HTML, also known as a “Deep Fake” email. Sites like allow users to send emails . Deadfake has begun imposing a footer at the bottom of emails sent from their service and uses trackable means in case of criminal activity, in order to prevent situations like this, whether related to it or not. Deadfake From anyone as a visibly authentic email address Security deserves an additional mention here as well—the OpenSea hack reminded me of the in 2017 (I ) which was worth 150,000ETH (only $30 million at the time ($220), is equivalent to over $412 million at a modern ETH price of $2,750) Ethereum Parity wallet breach covered the event here Since the SolarWinds attack a couple of years ago, businesses have realized that simply unit testing the components and requisites of software isn’t sufficient. Companies like ReversingLabs have developed solutions for whole-picture software testing, before a software deployment, which helps mitigate modern risks. Self-healing systems are also becoming increasingly relevant—as more than just jargon. Artificial Intelligence: Solving all forms of optimization problems, power management, predictive analytics, data science, the possibilities here are ever-evolving and seem limitless. In 2021, the first AI hyperoptimization model was deployed—an AI that trains new AIs. It’s able to do countless hours of initial training in just seconds. I could spend the next hour of typing at 1400wph, discussing advancements here, and still just scratch the surface. Logistics and Shipping: , , and more have been hot topics from 2017 through 2021, and continue to be hot in 2022. Recent evolution of things like driver shortages, dock detentions/delays, and shipment container-hauling chassis have led to newsworthy port backups and stalls in the supply chain. Odds are pretty high that you or someone you know has seen shelves barren as of late, sometimes for days to weeks at a time. COVID has definitely contributed, but some things, like the chassis shortages, have been backlogged for a year or more. Amazon and Walmart are struggling to find logistics support, FedEx seems to be struggling, and many third-party logistics providers are starving for talent. Self-driving cars can aid with resolving the talent struggles but are not market-ready for full autonomy yet. Seoul Robotics displayed a “ ” at CES 2022. Warehouse optimization automated warehouses LVL5 CTRL TWR One simple use case for this might be a CRM integration that verifies customers’ location-based details, such as weather, so businesses aren’t sending out SMS coupons for sleds when it’s seventy degrees outside. Manufacturing: Holy cow, we’re seeing the birth of the first fully autonomous factories and robots that can both feel pain and respond to it themselves. . They’re capable of complex tasks such as independently loading products and pallets onto trucks, and more—with no human intervention. Japan and the US are already —the perceptible culmination of tech required for fully automated factories and fully automated self-driving cars. Robots can now detect damage and repair themselves as well as other robots working on collective standards for 6G communications What is your hope for the metaverse? Do you have any worries or does the concept pose any threats? I have high hopes for it. I see the metaverse as an opportunity for humans to create truly sustainable industry, fully-immersive entertainment, and experiences, and resolve many trust-based issues that exist in the modern market. We may see a world of anything we can ever want within the next 20 years. I have a wide array of concerns as well, of course. We’ve got AI and machine-related ethics, defining the human experience to enable people to continue living full, deep, fulfilling lives, and even concerns regarding the addictiveness of AR/VR, gaming addiction, and more. Then there’s the prospect of mind-reading technology (Neuralink to name one business in the space), and a whole host of potential dystopian and apocalyptic scenarios. I’m not a doomsday type of guy, but I’m not blind to the possibilities, either. We have to work together and consistently adhere to and test our morals & ethics to ensure a bright tomorrow for humanity, specifically the generations to come. Thanks for your time! Any final words? I like to talk to people who do stuff. I welcome all formats of feedback and conversation, as long as people are respectful. I’m the guy that people come to when everyone says their idea is crazy, who helps them launch and raise funds. Most of the time, it’s people that are just ahead of their time. This article definitely covers more than just the metaverse, but I think it’s important to see progress as a whole, how the pieces come together, and where businesses can fit into the puzzle. That’s what I’m passionate about—stepping into the unknown and figuring out what connections exist, and which ones need to exist. I’m happy to answer any questions that I am able to.

There’s No Avoiding The Metaverse, It is the Next Chapter in Human History

About the Korean Blockchain Week The is a popular event that unites crypto and blockchain experts worldwide for the purpose of discussing market trends, challenges, and future developments across the blockchain industry. Korean Blockchain Week This article will provide readers with a recap of the recent event’s main presentations. Recapping the Main Presentations Crypto Market Prepares for Ethereum 2.0 Ethereum recently announced the roll-out of the Serenity upgrade, a major development that is bound to reshape its future by increasing scalability. This is especially necessary given the inflow of DeFi projects that require a scalable, yet secure chain to base their services on. During the Korean Blockchain Week, Kevin Jeong, the CEO of Tokamak Network, gave out a brief presentation on Ethereum 2.0 and the on-going layer 2 war. According to him, the roll out of ETH 2.0 is likely to take a few years, a timeframe during which dApps and DeFi projects will still require a viable infrastructure. Since it’s not always best to build a blockchain network from scratch, some companies are creating layer 2 solutions to serve the market in the meantime. Choosing the appropriate layer 2 protocol is no easy feat, since no solution can do it all. For instance, Plasma implementations excel in assuring a high degree of scalability, while Aztec facilitates privacy, and Optimism assures network composability. Decentralized apps have different needs, and relying on different layer 2 solutions is very difficult. dApp owners would have to purchase separate tokens for each layer 2 they’re interested in, which is a friction-based process that is quite inconvenient. With the Tokamak network however, each dApp can operate on its own chain, which is then connected to the ETH mainchain via the Tokamak Protocol. Users can essentially build scalable Ethereum apps while gaining access to scalability, composability, privacy, and smart contract support by only purchasing TON, a singular token that provides a viable gateway for dApps. Bank of Korea Discusses Central Bank-Backed Digital Currencies This presentation was carried out by Sung Guan, the Korean Bank’s head of digital currency research. He kicked off his speech with a brief comparison between cash and CBDCs, and continued by presenting the bank’s perspective on the potential of launching a digital version of the national currency. According to him, there are a plethora of policy-related challenges that must be dealt with before a CBDC launch is considered. Korea is well-aware of the benefits that a digital currency will bring along, especially in relation to cash. Sung Guan stated that Korea’s current CBDC strategy is based on three early phases - internal research, external consultations, and the work process. While the first two phases are self-explanatory, the work process entails the actual development of the CBDC within a virtual environment. This phase is expected to commence next year, essentially confirming the bank’s plans of releasing a CBDC in the near future. Binance CEO Debates the Future of Centralized Exchange Over the last few months, decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges have seen an exponential growth. The arguments here are very simple. Unlike centralized exchanges, the decentralized alternatives are not obliged to actively comply with regulatory frameworks, thereby giving traders additional leeway in how they choose to carry out their trades. Users no longer have to abide by trading limits or KYC requirements, nor do they have to trust exchanges with their private keys. This begs a clear question - will centralized exchanges still exist in the future? Chanpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, has attempted to answer this question. According to CZ, centralized exchanges cater to users who are unable to securely store their own private keys, an issue that CEX platforms take care of on their behalf. Similarly, decentralized exchanges require that users hold additional know-how on the usage of cryptocurrencies, which is not yet the case for the majority, especially since the market is seeing a lot of new adopters. CZ also stated that legal requirements for centralized exchanges like KYC procedures degrade the user experience while increasing operational costs, thereby leading to higher fees. It’s also worth mentioning that with decentralized exchanges, users can access lesser-known digital assets, which are not yet supported on CEX platforms. In response to this philosophy, Binance has already launched its own decentralized exchange. The gist here is that CEX and DEX platforms serve different customer segments. Current predictions indicate that such platforms will likely operate side-by-side for the foreseeable future. Wrapping It Up The Korean Blockchain Week discussed numerous other topics, leading to valuable insight on the industry’s latest trends. The main consensus is that the blockchain market is going through a paradigm shift that will play an important role in the future of the financial market. Layer 2 integrations, decentralized exchanges, DeFi systems, and CBDCs will be a key part of this future.

Smart Contract auditing has been a growing industry and is always in demand in the DeFi, crypto startups in NFT, and many other spaces. However, compared to the booming market, few blockchain security companies are now. Why the Need to Audit Smart Contracts? Once the smart contracts are deployed, there is no looking back. Once programmed and deployed on the blockchain, it cannot be changed. So, if there is even a minor bug, the entire protocol will break and drain the entire fund. In the last two years, we have seen billions of dollars vanish into thin air due to bugs in smart contracts. The creator of the smart contract might very easily add a backdoor to steal the money. However, human error is usually to blame. The idea of a smart contract is relatively new and has only been around for a few years. There aren't many developers with extensive experience in this area. Billions of dollars could simply be lost due to a minor error. Therefore, it is crucial to have each smart contract element examined. Things to Consider When Choosing a Smart Contract Auditor Are you someone who wants to use audit services? Then, it is mandatory to keep certain things in mind. These include: First, not all auditing firms have experienced professionals and have tried their hands in this field for some time. Some security firms have been long-time players in this field and have the best talents, while others are not so reliable. Second, you need to be clear about what you require. While most of the auditors have a strong command of the Ethereum foundation, a few also possess the expertise to deal with other chains like Solana or the Binance chain. Also, you must know the level of penetration testing that you want your smart contract to pass through. The third is the audit's cost. Hiring the smartest professionals to audit and analyze your smart contract will cost a lot of money. Some of the best auditing companies bill six figures for each audit. Therefore, depending on your budget, you could choose your auditing business. Who are the Most Reliable Blockchain Security Firms? When it comes to going for security consulting for your code audits, these companies are considered the best ones in the blockchain ecosystem. Certik Undoubtedly, there is no question about Certik being the most promising name in the smart contract auditing industry. Starting in 2018, two Columbia University and Yale University professors founded this company. Over the years, they have conducted more than 1,800 audits. Some of the world's most significant DeFi protocols, like Huobi, Binance, OKEx, etc., rely upon this company to get their audit reports. Having had a strong reputation within the industry for years, they are primarily known for carrying out robust smart contract audits for a colossal clientele profile. The point that distinguishes them from the rest is that, in addition to performing the audit, they also suggest recommendations when they find vulnerabilities. ImmuneBytes They are a cybersecurity consulting firm dedicated to providing proactive and cutting-edge blockchain and crypto security solutions to make security a lifelong affair for enterprises. Using the most recent smart contract audit tools and penetration testing techniques, the company has worked with organizations of various sizes since its founding in 2020, including primary and mid-sized enterprises, non-profits, and small businesses, to provide security help. With more than 175 completed successfully, they have an excellent track record. Clients like Ethernity, Good Dollar, Maha Dao, Poly Trade, retreeb, Sheesha Finance, and Sports Icon rely on them to support them in becoming leaders in their sectors. Additionally, they have extensive knowledge of virtualization, software attacks, blockchains, and cryptography. Hacken White hat hackers, Big Four employees, and cybersecurity specialists formed the Hacken ecosystem. Hacken has been developing Web 3.0 cybersecurity firms since its founding in 2017 and educating and expanding the ethical hacker community. Clients include, but are not limited to, Solana, VeChain, Gate.io, KuCoin, FTX, Huobi, 1inch, and Avalanche. Over $10 billion in assets belonging to clients and users have been protected by Hacken. Coingecko and Coinmarketcap recognize Hacken certification as a Web 3.0 security standard. A smart contract security assessment, a KYC background check, pentests, and a bug bounty program are all included in the one-stop solution service package. The company has even provided security services to non-blockchain companies like Air Asia. Not just this, but it has shown its commitment to the blockchain industry every time by organizing several security meetups. In order to shield the user from security concerns and account compromises, Hacken has developed the HackenAI security platform. Users are quickly notified of compromised passwords and potential darknet assaults via key features like darknet monitoring. HackenAI is accessible on iPhone and Android smartphones. Consensys Diligence ConsenSys is a big player in the Ethereum industry. Joe Lubin, the founder of Ethereum, founded this company. Auditing smart contracts are one of their products. As a blockchain developer, you can get several services on the Ethereum ecosystem. They have provided thorough smart contract testing, threat modeling, audits, and automated analysis for clients worldwide. Several tools were used for smart auditing contracts on the Ethereum chain. MythX is a potent product of this company that is an automated scanner for Ethereum smart contracts. Trail of Bits Since 2012, the company has expanded massively to help secure a wide range of targeted organizations and devices. To mitigate the risks associated with smart contracts and fortify the open source, they amalgamate high-end security research together with the mentality of a real-world attacker. Some areas in which they specialize include software security, reverse engineering, cryptography, blockchain, osquery, machine learning, binary analysis, and blockchain. They provide a vast array of software security services, including software development, smart contract audits, blockchain security audits, and more. Crytic, Echidna, and Slither are some of their blockchain-focused solutions; AlgoVPN is another. Their clients include MakerDAO, Compound, NuCypher, and 0x Protocol. Openzeppelin The OpenZeppelin team is well known for creating the OpenZeppelin Contracts and Solidity libraries. Most Solidity projects use these libraries as a tried-and-true model for deployable contracts on decentralized applications. Through the native SDK of OpenZeppelin, developers can implement this solution. In addition to development, OpenZeppelin places a lot of emphasis on audit and security services for smart contracts. Additionally, OpenZeppelin was among the first groups to reimagine blockchain security by including gamification components to find flaws in smart contracts. One of its other products is Ethernaut, a Web3/Solidity war game that requires players to hack smart contracts to advance. Interestingly, OpenZepplin is known to be one of the first teams who reinvented blockchain security with the help of gamification, which is responsible for recognizing different types of loopholes in smart contracts. Slowmist Slowmist is China's leading blockchain security company. They perform extensive blockchain security services that include smart contract audits, blockchain security audits, wallet security testing, and much more. Slowmist also has a safe staking project for blockchain ecologies, which delivers real-time data on EOS, Cosmos, Vechain's growth and security patterns, and other top blockchain projects. Another interesting detail about this platform is its powerful firewall project for EOS smart contracts, named FireWall.X. Omniscia Omniscia has a centralized staff of skilled smart contract developers and auditors who are into building and securing intricate decentralized networks and applications. Since 2017, their engineers have built and audited distributed systems that drive multimillion-dollar economies.
