During the crypto bull market in 2017, people worked day and night, 24x7, but during the 2018 bear market, many left.

On 03/23/2018, PeckShield Inc. was established.

One year later, we are still here.

In Blockchain We Trust.

In the last one year, we:

  • Submitted 84 CVEs;
  • Released 212 data and security related news reports;
  • Published 40 technical analysis blogs;

  • Global news coverage of PeckShield more than 6,808 times.

Our voice has been heard in the US, Korea, Japan, UK, Brazil, Russia, India, Spain, Turkey, Cameroon, Kazakhstan, and Nigeria, etc, dozens of countries all over the world.

In the last one year, we were the FIRST to:

There were 95 security incidents since EOS MainNet coming online, PeckShield found 61, 64% of them, and since December, there were 66 security incidents, PeckShield was the first to expose 54 of them, 81% of the total.

In the last one year, we released:
