Q: What got you interested in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies? What do you envision for the future of buglab on the blockchain?

A: I heard a lot about blockchain over the years from my friends and colleagues as well as from articles and blog posts, but Reda’s vision is what really sparked my desire to participate in this booming industry. I think Buglab can really change the world for the better by making security accessible, and that is exactly what the world needs right now.

Q: What do you believe is the best benefit of blockchain technology? How do you believe it’s changing the world? How do you see buglab fitting into this change?

VP allows researchers from around the world to find them and make them aware of their flaws. this is especially important with the advent of IoT startups that are making more and more products all around us.
