Петр Королев

Co-founder at [Oxorio](https://oxor.io/) | Blockchain Security R&D

MS in Physics of Semiconductors (MSU)

With 15 years of his IT experience, Petr has developed low-level algorithms for hardware acceleration at Intel and led large teams in the fintech and banking sectors. For the past 6 years, Petr has delved into cryptography/blockchain, security solutions, and Infosec projects with a particular emphasis on Ethereum-based applications and Zero-Knowledge Cryptography (zkSNARKs).

Alongside his main tech work, Petr enjoys creating educational courses and contributing to open-source projects. He's also won more than 10 blockchain hackathons and received multiple grants from the Ethereum Foundation.

While being a co-founder of Matter Labs (known for zkSync - ZK Rollup scaling solution), Petr achieved successful fundraising and exit. This allowed him to fully dedicate himself to his own projects and passions. As a result, Petr later co-founded Oxorio, a firm specializing in smart contracts audits (including ZK), penetration testing, as well as R&D. 

Oxorio is highly trusted by DeFi unicorns like Lido, 1Inch, as well as smaller startups due to their exceptional track record and expertise in the field. Petr and his team at Oxorio are on a mission to make the blockchain industry more secure and redefine security standards.
