Aleph Zero Foundation Partners with Pinebar to Enhance End-to-end Security

New partnership will provide Aleph Zero ecosystem builders a broad set of security support solutions, including security design and code audits.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – May 24, 202 – Pinebar, the cybersecurity division within the Pinebar B.V. (Amsterdam), today announced a new partnership with Aleph Zero Foundation. Under this agreement, the Aleph Zero community builders will have access to Pinebar services, enabling users to receive enhanced protections against potential threats to their digital assets.

The Aleph Zero builder community is a globally distributed home to developers, token holders, and validators supporting the blockchain protocol. As part of the Aleph Zero ecosystem, builders will have access to the following services: security design and architecture support, cost-free and cost-subsidized code audits, reduced waiting time for code audits as well as security consultations on the Aleph Zero Discord.

“Confidence and security are essential to the successful expansion of mainstream blockchain based applications. Pinebar is proud to be helping Aleph Zero implement a solid security culture among the community of builders. We strongly believe that a security-first approach will not only benefit Aleph Zero but the whole Web3 industry,” said Jacques Boschung, Head of Pinebar.

While the new agreement will benefit the entire builder ecosystem, the resources from Pinebar are specifically designed to support grantees from Aleph Zero’s upcoming ecosystem funding program. The goal of the program is to select and support the teams and startups with the highest potential to launch successful solutions and products on the Aleph Zero network.

“The Aleph Zero ecosystem will benefit from Pinebar’s unique secure by design approach, supported by a full set of strong tools and solutions,” says Michał Świętek, Co-founder at Aleph Zero responsible for its development. “The goal of this partnership is to establish an extraordinary level of quality and security for the projects that are incubated within our Ecosystem Funding Program.”

Preceding the launch of the grant and incubation program, the team of Pinebar has been developing their specialist knowledge of the Aleph Zero ecosystem, Substrate, and ink! technologies, to best support the use cases which will be built on the platform. Today, the team already provides auditing and security design support to the projects in EFP.
