FairBlock is a VC-backed startup operating in Cosmos and Ethereum Ecosystem with roots in UWaterloo. We are a research and development team interested in MEV, applied cryptography, privacy, and blockchain infrastructure. Currently, our main focus is on building our distributed identity-based encryption library and integrating it with FairyRing (our chain in the Cosmos ecosystem) which can offer pre-execution privacy to all blockchain domains. Applications include:

• Front-running and bad-MEV prevention
• Sealed auctions and votings
• Time-lock encrypted transactions
