ABOUT ZOKYO

Forging foundational integrity for the next generation of digital assets

We bridge security rigor, regulatory readiness, economic design, and technical execution -- delivering the comprehensive expertise Web3 builders need to compete at the highest level.

OUR STORY

Who We Are

Zokyo is built by practitioners who have been shaping blockchain security since the earliest days of the industry. In 2016, Hartej Sawhney co-founded Hosho, widely recognized as the world's first blockchain security company. He also introduced HoshoCon, the first conference dedicated to blockchain security - creating a place for researchers, builders, and security engineers to share breakthroughs and raise the bar for the ecosystem.

In 2018, Zokyo emerged with a clear mission: combine deep offensive security experience with protocol-level understanding to help teams ship safely. Today, Zokyo is a global collective of ethical hackers, cryptographers, and research scientists spanning the US, UK, Ukraine, Spain, Romania, India, UAE, Singapore, Philippines, Nigeria, China, Poland, and more.

We don't just run tools - we model real adversaries, hunt for design flaws, and provide actionable remediation so teams can confidently deploy and scale across chains.
