1/ Proud to share that we’ve received another grant from the Ethereum Foundation Ecosystem Support Program (@EF_ESP).
Nonce Classic has been awarded support for the Ethereum Korea Policy Coordination Layer.
This builds on our earlier ESP grant and strengthens the policy and institutional side of Ethereum Korea.
The @ethereumfndn has awarded cp0x a grant to build an open-source tool for comparing DeFi risk assessments. We are starting work and invite the community to contribute ideas, data, corrections and code here or on github: github.com/cp0x-org/defi-dna
Onchain security is everyone’s problem and nobody’s job.
ETHSecurity Initiatives is how we are changing that.
Propose the work. Fund the work. Build the work.
