Greetings, Arbitrum Forum crowd,
Hacken is here, one of the ADPC Whitelisted Security Providers, Cohort I.
Background
We started running a blockchain CyberSecurity business in 2017, when smart contract audits were not ‘a thing’, leaving them aside as a primary requirement it is today. This was achieved through tight cooperation with CoinGecko and the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance in its early days. We take pride in our long-term responsibility for the Web3 space; our main goal is to make it a safer place.
Our CEO, Dyma Budorin, began his career at Deloitte before establishing Hacken. With this irreversible institutional background, from day 1, we have been bridging the scrutiny of traditional accounting and auditing with the novation of a fast-paced blockchain industry.
Luciano Ciataglia, Hacken’s Director of Services, will be the main contact person for the Security Council from our side. Luciano has a past position as Security Technical Lead of Binance, and Security Lead at Ripio before joining Hacken.

Additionally, we hold all C4 certifications (Cryptocurrency Security Standards, CCSS), as well as CBP and CEP

We propose Extractor to be utilised for monitoring the security and ICT integrity of key projects in Arbitrum & Arbitrum Orbit ecosystem to effectively prevent critical emergencies, rather than react to them
