Crypto.com projects
It is obvious that Crypto.com has the ambition to make the blockchain more secure and more appropriate with the standards of the authorities. Moreover, this is not the first time that it operates in this direction. Indeed, on numerous occasions, she has supported university research initiatives focused on blockchain technology.
During the last month, the cryptocurrency exchange revealed information relating to a research donation which she granted for the development of the digital currency of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This research project will lead to various studies to improve the security of bitcoin (BTC).
It should also be noted that the cryptocurrency company has agreed to sponsor the creation of the Secure Blockchain initiative in March, led by Carnegie Mellon University. This project aims to improve blockchain security and increase understanding of digital ecosystems.
The cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com wants to put everything in place to support the development of the blockchain. To this end, it supports various teams by financing their activities as well as the research they carry out.
