Gauntlet’s mission is to drive understanding and participation in the financial systems of the future.
Building decentralized systems creates new challenges for protocol developers, smart contract developers, and asset holders that are not seen in traditional development and investing. Gauntlet has created a blockchain simulation and testing platform that leverages battle tested techniques from other industries to build financial models of crypto products. Simulation provides transparency and greatly reduces the cost of experimentation so that blockchain protocols and smart contracts are safe for users.
