In our first weeks, we started POCs with asset managers and digital-asset infrastructure providers whose systems move billions of dollars every week for financial institutions. We're now in active evaluations with digital-asset teams at some of the world's largest banks. The founding team launched and led blockchain security at Check Point (NASDAQ: CHKP).
