Cryptosat, founded in 2020, is a company that builds and launches small satellites, particularly CubeSats, to provide a physically isolated and tamper-proof environment for cryptographic computations. These satellites aim to power cryptographic, blockchain, and ledger applications by placing a root-of-trust in space. Cryptosat's services include securing private transactions, enabling secure cryptographic operations, and providing building blocks for cryptographic systems like securely generated random numbers. The company partners with organizations like Dfns Labs and Protocol Labs to develop and test applications like the Space Wallet and explore decentralized cloud computing.
