Smart Contract Engineer
Phylax Systems
About Phylax
Our team solves one of the most challenging problems in Web3: Security.
Phylax Systems is a tech startup, not a crypto company, building a credible security protocol for decentralized applications (DApps) on various networks by actively censoring hacks on the underlying network in participation with block builders.
We believe that the future of security is through open-source software and tools that enable users to share security practices. This is what we are calling open security. A different stance than most of our competitors, who build closed-source software.
Odysseas, the solo-founder of Phylax made a decision to work on hack prevention after his own experience with a hack. Anyone who has experienced a hack knows the feeling we are trying to engineer out of existence.
