Cryptic Labs, a research institute mainly involved in solving fundamental security problems and advance the growth of blockchain, has inked a deal with LongHash to jointly foster blockchain startups and actively promote the in-depth understanding and research of cryptography in the context of distributed ledger technology.

Cryptic Labs, a unique accelerator with expertise in security, trust, and privacy, is guided by its Chief Scientist and research accelerator Dr. Whitfield Diffie.

In at least ten cities across Asia, Middle East, Europe, and the US, LongHash plans to offer its incubator program. The company is currently having presence in Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Shanghai.
