Halborn and QANplatform Sign a Strategic Partnership for a Safer Blockchain Ecosystem

Halborn partners with QANplatform as one of the blockchain cybersecurity auditors after Hacken, Beosin and Zokyo to support the QANplatform ecosystem with cybersecurity consulting and auditing.

Halborn was founded in 2019 by renowned ethical hacker Steven Walbroehl and growth hacker Rob Behnke. The fully remote organization has since grown to over 100 of the best and brightest offensive security engineers in the world.

Halborn offers security solutions, including security advisories, penetration testing, smart contract audits, and DevOps & Automation. Renowned blockchain platforms like Solana, Polygon, and Avalanche have had their code audited by Halborn, along with hundreds of other L1, L2, DeFi, NFT, and crypto projects.

QANplatform recently rolled out the world’s first quantum-resistant and Ethereum-compatible blockchain testnet, where developers can code smart contracts in any programming language. The introduction of this testnet follows the successful implementation of QANplatform’s quantum-resistant technology by a European Union member state.

Thanks to QANplatform’s multi-language smart contracts, over 26 million new software developers are able to enter the Web3 space, which can reshape and boost the blockchain industry.

CRYSTALS-Dilithium, the NIST-recommended primary post-quantum algorithm has been foreseen and integrated into the quantum-resistant QAN Private Blockchain and QAN TestNet. This integration enhances the security of blockchain solutions built on the platform, rendering them resilient against potential attacks from quantum computers.

As part of the partnership;

• Halborn will be invited to QANplatform’s auditing tenders, such as blockchain protocol audits, native utility token audit, consensus algorithm audit, etc.
• Halborn will help key QANplatform ecosystem projects with a priority queue.
• Halborn and QANplatform will collaborate on security guidelines for QANplatform’s multi-language smart contracts.
• Halborn and QANplatform will launch community initiatives such as publishing educational content, AMA sessions.

Rob Behnke, CEO at Halborn commented: “Over time, the quote “Adapt or die” has been attributed to many people in different forms, and we have to assume that’s due to its inherent truth. Both Web3 solutions and cybersecurity measures must adapt to new technologies and customer needs. Halborn is committed to supporting new initiatives in the sector, such as multi-language smart contracts or preparation against potential cybersecurity attacks from quantum computers.”

Johann Polecsak, Co-Founder and CTO at QANplatform commented:“Mission of QANplatform is to empower anyone to build blockchain solutions rapidly and securely. We are delighted to have Halborn, alongside Hacken, Beosin and Zokyo, among the first blockchain cybersecurity auditors to support the QANplatform ecosystem with cybersecurity consulting and auditing.”
