WHY WE ARE HERE

Pioneering Cryptographic Security for a Sovereign Future

Herodotus specializes in verifiable data and compute solutions for smart contracts, delivering the highest standards of security and reliability.

Our Mission

At Herodotus, we're dedicated to realizing the original vision of blockchain technology: minimizing trust in centralized entities and empowering individuals with true data sovereignty.

Our team develops cutting-edge cryptographic systems that enable verifiable data and compute across distributed networks. We're the team behind Storage Proofs - a powerful solution for secure and efficient verification of on-chain data across time and networks. By emphasizing simplicity and usability, we're pushing the boundaries of trust-minimized blockchain applications.

Our Purpose

We're building the cryptographic foundations for a more secure and transparent future. Our goal is to provide developers with tools to create truly trust-minimized applications, moving beyond reliance on oracles or economic incentives. Furthermore, we're committed to helping scale blockchains to onboard the next generation of users and applications to web3.

Our Guiding Principles


The part with the message from founders:

We are the cipher masters, the wizards of data verification, and the trailblazers of provable computing.

Herodotus is an engineering company specializing in advanced cryptography, verifiable data access, and verifiable compute. We're driven by the vision of blockchain technology as a means to minimize trust in centralized entities and empower individuals.

While many smart contracts rely on oracles, attestation networks, or economic incentives, we believe cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs offer a superior approach to trust minimization and data security. Our mission at Herodotus is to build cutting-edge, secure data access solutions that harness the power of cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs.

By leveraging the power of cryptography, we aim to unlock blockchain technology's true potential. We're creating a foundation for a more secure and transparent ecosystem where individuals and organizations can control their data, transact confidently, and engage in digital interactions with unprecedented security.
