ETHDenver 2025

Our team is here for the rest of the week at ETHDenver talking all things quantum security…

If you are a builder/developer in the space…we’d love to chat with you.

Not only are we the only post-quantum secure project in the room, but we’re here to showcase Project Zond.

What’s Project Zond?

Zond gives Ethereum developers a way to build secure + quantum-resistant applications with EVM compatibility. Win-win!!

Come on over to Booth 419 (in Privacyville) to chat with us…map below with where we’re at (this place is pretty big)
