Asymmetric Research was co-founded by Jonathan Claudius, Felix Wilhelm, and Jeff Schroeder, and operates across four core security domains: research, incident response, engineering, and infrastructure services. The firm reports that its incident-response work has enabled recovery of more than $300 million in digital assets, and that responsible vulnerability disclosure has helped avoid more than $5 billion in potential losses.
Asymmetric Research has formalized a shared-leadership model with OtterSec while both organizations continue to operate independently and maintain distinct identities. With support from the Solana Foundation, Asymmetric Research leads STRIDE, a program that independently evaluates Solana DeFi protocols against an eight-pillar security framework and publishes its findings publicly. The firm is also a founding participant in the Solana Incident Response Network, whose members share threat intelligence and coordinate responses to active incidents.
Asymmetric Research has disclosed several notable vulnerabilities responsibly. The firm identified a flaw in Polygon Heimdall that could have allowed a rogue or compromised validator to seize control of the consensus layer and put more than $2 billion in bridge assets at risk; the vulnerability was patched and no user funds were lost. Asymmetric Research also disclosed an access-control vulnerability in Pragma's Starknet oracle that could have allowed an attacker to disable core price feeds, with a fix subsequently shipped by Pragma.
Asymmetric Research serves as a core contributor to Firedancer and a core security contributor and signer for sBTC on Stacks, where it also acted as an embedded security team during an sBTC audit. Wormhole and the Wormhole Foundation identify Asymmetric Research as a contributing security partner, alongside partnerships with Jump Crypto, Jito Labs, Euler, and Immunefi. Asymmetric Research has published 270 posts to date and has been mentioned by 61 accounts a total of 90 times, reflecting ongoing engagement across the Web3 security community.
