We facilitated a significant collaboration in presenting a major hackathon, bringing together key industry players such as Argent, Nethermind, Trail of Bits, Equilibrium, and Consensys Diligence. This partnership underscored our client’s commitment to advancing ZK technology and opened doors to new cooperative opportunities.
