New Collaborations

October is the middle month of autumn. Do you think it is a boring time? We don’t think so! In October, we entered into new collaborations with great teams:

• October 21 — Platinum QDAO Engineering Company developing DeFi and blockchain software solutions for international customers;
• October 27 — Vox Finance, a DeFi project providing high-quality and profitable services.

And, of course, we did not stand idly by, but negotiated with new associates. Follow the announcements.

HAI News

In October, you received at once two long-awaited news related to the native Hacken token — HAI! Listing on two crypto exchanges within one week: we are doing our best for you!

Hacken Research

What do you think the everyday life of a cybersecurity engineer consists of? Looking into code, auditing smart contracts, monitoring, catching hackers, identifying security holes? But our team of cybersecurity engineers is not just a team of cybersecurity engineers, we are truly experts in our field. Therefore, in addition to the main work, we prepare studies, investigations and research for you. One of our goals is to raise awareness of our audience, after all. So, what knowledge did we share with you last month?

• October 12 — KUCOIN SEPTEMBER 2020 HACK, the hottest crypto market topic during the first half of the month;

• October 29 — CER.live DeFi Rating Report, indicating that 14 of the top 25 decentralized exchanges, or DEXs, scored poorly in terms of cybersecurity.
