Halborn is excited to announce the launch of its blockchain and smart contract security VM (Virtual Machine): ZIION.

ZIION is a blockchain security VM that is open-source (free to use!), end-to-end, pre-compiled, multi-architecture, and multi-protocol. 

“Kali Linux is a great tool for pen testers and auditors,” says Halborn co-founder Steve Walbroehl, “but it’s not really equipped for the security needs of blockchain development. That’s why our best-in-class blockchain security engineers at Halborn built ZIION, a true turnkey VM with all the tools needed to securely build and develop in Web3.” 

With a goal to simplify blockchain development and security testing, security engineers can build on top of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and more. ZIION features 100+ tools, utilities, dependences, and packages. 

ZIION features:

  • Protocol tools
  • EVM tools & fuzzers
  • Rust tools & fuzzers
  • VCCodium extensions

Made by blockchain security engineers for blockchain security engineers, ZIION is a security VM that caters exclusively to Web3 developers.
