Research & open source

Research that ends up in production.

We coordinate and deliver funded research with academic labs, industry and law enforcement, and we publish the tools we can share.

Funded projects

Two consortia, two roles.

Bpifrance i-Démo · 2023 → 2027

Argos · Functori coordinates

A blockchain investigation platform built by four partners: Functori, Tarides, LIP6 (Sorbonne Université) and LMF (Université Paris-Saclay). Consortium budget: €3.6M over 48 months. Labelled by the Systematic and Finance Innovation clusters.

Academic ties

Five PhDs in the team, with backgrounds in automated reasoning, model checking and programming languages. Scientific relations with Universidade do Algarve and IRILL.

What we bring to a consortium

A partner that can coordinate, and still writes the code.

Coordination experience

We run the Argos consortium and a Horizon Europe work package.

A product to build on

Argos gives a project a working investigation platform from day one.

Engineering capacity

Most of our team writes production code, so deliverables do not stop at reports.

Open source & lab

Tools we share, prototypes we test.

Free to use. If one of them solves your problem and you need it hardened or supported, talk to us.
