✨👋 Meet the Team at the ASIMOV Protocol! Kirill (@septengineering), Head of Security ⚔️, is a prolific blockchain security white hat best known for his work on NEAR’s Rainbow Bridge 🌈, the first trustless cross-chain bridge in the industry. He led the Rainbow Bridge team for more than two years, first at @NEARProtocol and then at Aurora. Under his stewardship, the bridge was never hacked despite holding billions of dollars in locked funds and enduring a number of high-profile attacks. At the peak of the previous market cycle, the bridge secured over $15B in TVL 💰 Kirill also managed the Rainbow Bridge security bounty program that successfully incentivized would-be black hats to turn white hat. The program paid out a number of significant bounties, including $6M for the second-largest bounty in history. The Rainbow Bridge’s reputation as a hack-proof bridge remains intact to this day 🛡️ Kirill has contributed to many well-known privacy projects at an early stage, including hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor), Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) initiatives, a ZK-encrypted video messenger, as well as to Beam, the first blockchain based on the Mimblewimble protocol. During the past year, Kirill has been focused on building trustworthy user-owned AI at @HaltiaAI, one of the founding members of the ASIMOV Protocol. 👇
