Hacken CEO

“Unlike Web2, a security incident in Web3 doesn’t just damage reputation or data breach, it leads directly to the loss of digital assets. Born on blockchain, we understand the complexity and threats of all blockchain layers. That’s why our solutions are designed to prevent exploits before they happen on multiple layers. Be proactive, not reactive!”

Our origin

In 2017, a cluster of Ukrainian security researchers, white‑hat hackers, and crypto‑native builders saw the same pattern on repeat: brilliant blockchain ideas, rushed code, and billions in user value exposed.

Exchanges were listing unaudited tokens. Smart contracts deployed to mainnet without adversarial review. Regulators had no playbook.

We founded Hacken to change that.

Starting from Kyiv’s vibrant cybersecurity community, we set out to apply disciplined, evidence‑driven assurance to decentralized systems.

End-to-end blockchain security & compliance partner

Hacken today

Since that first year, Hacken has scaled with the industry - from blockchain auditing firm to end-to-end partner across code, compliance, and ongoing monitoring.

What began as a handful of auditors and a bug-bounty community is now a global team securing protocols, exchanges, infrastructure, and the very regulations that govern digital assets .

Today, we integrate offensive security, formal verification, crowdsourced audits, AI-powered on-chain monitoring, Proof of Reserves, and regulator-ready evidence - so you can launch, scale, and pass reviews in one motion.

Our mission remains unchanged: make Web3 a safer place - for builders, traders, institutions, and the public sector trusted with oversight.

Whether you’re deploying a DeFi protocol, tokenizing real-world assets, listing on a Tier-1 exchange, or preparing for MiCA/DORA oversight, we help you align engineering and compliance from day zero.
