Singapore-based exchange Crypto.com has announced that it will contribute financially to research on cryptocurrencies at the MIT Media Laba renowned laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) specialized in the study of multimedia and technologies.

“Bitcoin’s security relies on the accuracy and robustness of the software and hardware that run it, as well as the actions of those who participate in the network. […] Ensuring that critical knowledge, not only about the technology itself, but also about key processes, is consistently recorded and transmitted is critical to enhancing security and improving resilience. »
