Cypher Core

Who We Are

We are blockchain enthusiasts who believe that blockchain technology, as a disruptive innovation, is poised to revolutionize the commerce world across every industry. Moreover, we are a collective of professionals with a shared passion to expose and deliver infallible opportunities for investors and consumers alike.

Problem

Many businesses today struggle to connect with the intended customers and are facing serious barriers to consumer adoption. They turn to blockchain for a solution but often end up being misguided.

Vision

Cypher Core strives to become the medium where not only can the projects reach a wider client base, businesses can also find the right solutions by learning the fundamentals of blockchain technology.

Staking Service

Consistency

In a distributed Proof-of-Stake system where network partitions are inevitable, we prioritize consistency over availability due to the harsher penalty for inconsistency than unavailability.

Reliability

We believe the basis of reliability is simplicity. Complication often ends up being over-promising and under-performing. What’s a good system if you can’t sufficiently maintain it?

Resilience

Security cannot be guaranteed but resilience can. We fully adapt the “Prevention, Detection and Response” approach standardized in the Information Security industry to mitigate risks.

Key Management

We store our private keys on a HSM to prevent the keys being left exposed on the validator host. Our HSM has full Ed25519 signature support, and is used in signing votes and submitting block proposals.

DDoS Protection

Geographically distributed sentry nodes are utilized to shift the burden of DDoS from the validator node(s), and can be quickly spun up or configured to mitigate the impact of existing attacks.

Monitoring

We collect a wide range of metrics including metrics exposed by the consensus protocol. Our ultimate goal is to develop one integrated tooling that combines metrics , monitoring and alerting.
