Zellic company
Overview
Zellic is a security research and audit firm that reviews emerging technology, with a heavy concentration in blockchain and cryptography. It was co-founded by Luna Tong and Jasraj Bedi, and its team came out of what the company describes as the world's number-one CTF (capture-the-flag) hacking team, which shapes its emphasis on deep manual code analysis and exploit development rather than automated scanning. Its assessment coverage spans EVM smart contracts, zero-knowledge circuits, cryptography, DeFi protocols, web applications, and non-EVM platforms including Solana, Aptos, Sui and Cosmos. Zellic publishes engagement statistics: in 2025 it reported critical or high-impact findings in 45% of assessments (153 of 338 reviews), 247 critical vulnerabilities prevented from shipping and 308 high-impact issues discovered. Its published client list includes LayerZero, Sui, the Solana Foundation, Hyperliquid, Cognition, Polymarket, Monad, Zcash, Morpho and Ethena. The company does not disclose headquarters or funding details on its website. Zellic was founded by former competitive CTF players and grew into one of the more prominent independent crypto audit firms, expanding from EVM smart contracts into zero-knowledge circuits and non-EVM ecosystems such as Solana, Move chains and Cosmos.
