Agoric is committed to making strong security easier to achieve. Creating secure smart contracts using today’s technology is inherently difficult. That difficulty has limited both the number of applications created, and the number of programmers qualified to create them. We are developing an open, JavaScript-based, object-capability (ocap) programming layer to address both issues. The Agoric ocap layer will include robust security properties beyond anything available today, and it will provide that security across substrates, from local machines to global blockchains.

Protecting applications requires protecting the application itself as well as the infrastructure, which is why many companies don’t move sensitive workloads to the public cloud, invest in hardening of machines and creating security zones to define which applications can run alongside other applications on the same machine. Anjuna solves this problem to allow running any application in any environment and alongside any application, by creating a software perimeter around applications that provides hardware-grade security for the applications. This completely removes the need to secure or patch the host, VM or container. Our solution doesn't require any changes to the application and protects it even if someone has root or physical access to the host.

Āut is a suite of DAO-native Tools to expand decentralized communities. We're on a mission to accelerate the transition from an authoritarian, centralized, exploitative distribution of power - to non-hierarchical, more efficient, self-organizing organizational structures. Our protocols do so by "expanding" any Legacy DAO Contract – adding native concepts such as Roles & Commitment – directly at contract level, in a new DAO standard called Nova. Novas can be customized through the addition of composable Modules & Plugins, such as Onboarding Strategies and Reward Mechanisms. Currently maintained protocols include: - Nova (DAO Standard with Roles) - ĀutID (portable, non-transferable NFT ID) - Reputation - Various Modules & Plugins More about Āut Labs @ docs.aut.id
