About Nethermind
Nethermind is a team of world-class builders and researchers. We collaborate with a global developer community and partners to advance the Ethereum, Starknet, and broader blockchain industry. Our work spans Layer 1 and Layer 2 Engineering, Cryptography Research, Infrastructure Management, Smart Contract Security, and Application-Layer Protocol Development.
Blockchain Core Engineering
We are active builders of the Ethereum and Starknet protocols, closely aligning our development and research work with their roadmaps. The Nethermind client supports Gnosis Chain, the OP-stack and Energy Web. Our ecosystem contributions for Starknet include Juno, an open-source full-node implementation, and Voyager, a block explorer and API platform.
Protocol & Enterprise Engineering
We specialize in DeFi, covering DEXs, AMMs, and complex structured products. Our projects include decentralized KYC’d derivatives trading, asset tokenization, and institutional-grade staking. Our engineering teams work closely with clients to create customized Web2 and Web3 software solutions, such as crypto asset analytics, treasury management, trading automation, on-chain wallet monitoring, and token onboarding.
Cryptography, ZK and Protocol Research
Our research team consists of cryptographers, protocol experts, and DeFi researchers, and as such, can tackle complex research challenges. The cryptography team has expertise across a wide range of domains, including cryptographic protocols, zero-knowledge proofs, distributed validator technology (DVT), decentralized identity, verifiable credentials, consensus design, Sybil and white labeling resistance, and oracles. Our protocol research experts are blockchain and financial professionals specializing in DeFi & blockchain protocol research for institutional clients.
Nethermind Security | Smart Contract Auditing, Real-Time Monitoring, and Formal Verification
Nethermind Security is the security arm of Nethermind, providing services related to Smart Contract Audits, Formal Verification, and Real-Time Monitoring. Our work includes Solidity and Cairo smart contract auditing, building protocol-specific custom Forta Network detection bots, and formal verification services across ZK-circuit, EVM-based smart contract, and Starknet smart contract verification.
