In this episode, Richard Ma, Co-Founder and CEO of Quantstamp, shares his transition from the hedge fund world to Web3, and the founding story behind one of the most prominent blockchain security firms in the space. He breaks down how Quantstamp operates, the evolving nature of its customer base, and what truly sets successful Web3 startups apart in the long term.
Quantstamp is a global leader in blockchain security, dedicated to securing the future of Web3. The company has performed over 500 audits, securing more than $200 billion in digital assets from potential exploits and vulnerabilities.
Before founding Quantstamp, Richard was a software engineer at Tower Research, where he built and tested high-performance financial systems. After personally experiencing the fallout from The DAO hack, he was inspired to launch Quantstamp to improve the standards of security auditing across blockchain ecosystems.
Join hosts Kenzi Nakamura and Diksha Mehra for an insightful conversation with Richard about the importance of security in Web3, lessons learned from early Ethereum events, and what it takes to build trust and resilience in decentralized systems.
