SlowMist and Sinohope (1611.HK) Forge Strategic Partnership to Establish a New Benchmark for Institutional-Grade Digital Asset Security
On August 27, global leading blockchain security firm SlowMist and Sinohope (1611.HK), the first private banking-grade digital asset custodian listed in Hong Kong, officially announced the establishment of a strategic partnership. The two parties will actively collaborate on security services in digital asset ecosystem security, anti-money laundering (AML) for digital assets, and cutting-edge security technology research.
Mr. Zhang Lianfeng, Partner and Chief Information Security Officer of SlowMist, and Mr. Weng Xiaoqi, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sinohope, signed the strategic cooperation agreement as representatives of both parties at the Hong Kong Blockchain Summit — Sinohope Strategic Launch, jointly organized by Sinohope, Avenir Group, Greater Bay Area Financiers Association, Alibaba Cloud, and StoneLink, with strategic support from AWS, OSL, and Boya Interactive.
Through this collaboration, both parties will jointly explore deeply integrated solutions for blockchain ecosystem security, continuously lead security standards in the blockchain industry, and contribute to the progress and safe development of the sector.
As a leading company focusing on blockchain ecosystem security, SlowMist not only leverages its technical strengths in practice to identify and respond to multiple security incidents but also exclusively develops and open-sources a series of services, including security audits, Blockchain Threat Intelligence (BTI), and defense deployment. These services are complemented by security solutions such as digital asset anti-money laundering (AML) and cryptocurrency tracking (MistTrack).
As one of Hong Kong’s earliest blockchain concept stocks, Sinohope is dedicated to creating a “private banking-grade digital asset custodian.” It pioneered concierge-style cryptocurrency purchasing services and, relying on over 10 years of zero-security-incident business operations experience, focuses on providing high-net-worth clients with personalized services. Sinohope offers exclusive solutions across four core scenarios: trading, investment, custody, and inheritance.
Through this strategic partnership, both parties will focus on security cooperation in digital asset custody and inheritance, continue to lead industry security standards, invest resources in cutting-edge security technology research, and jointly ensure the asset security of high-net-worth and institutional clients, contributing to the safe development and progress of the industry.
