Hexens disrupting products impact the ecosystem

Since Hexens was founded in 2021, it has had an impressive track record and recognition in the industry: Mudit Gupta – CISO of the biggest EVM Ecosystem – Polygon Technology, joined the company advisory board after completing just a single cooperation iteration.

The Hexens approach to security is on its way to scale: combining brave ideas together with an extensive Web3 market vision, first products from the company will be available in late 2023..

Blockchain is one of the fastest growing fields and, as many believe, the future of money. Fast growth brings huge cybersecurity risks and as we see it now, the technology faces the risk of not achieving mass adoption if we do not address the rising threats of cybercrime in an appropriate manner.

Sipan Vardanyan, the CEO of Hexens, said in a statement.

$2B lost in crypto hacks only in 2022 shows the importance of thorough cybersecurity practices and the high demand for first-class cybersecurity services. We are excited to partner with the stellar Hexens team on the mission to make Web 3.0 a safer place. The team’s expertise in ZK technology positions them well to ensure the next wave of industry innovations. Moreover, products being built by Hexens have the potential to become a standard toolkit for each developer and security researcher in the blockchain space, said Queenie Wu, the partner at IOSG Ventures
