<h2>ChainSafe to Work on Expansion of Web3 Ecosystem</h2>
ChainSafe works internationally and has more than 120 workers in 33 countries. It maintains its corporate headquarters in Toronto and has branches in Berlin and Zagreb. The startup was founded in 2017 after its founders met at an Ethereum event in Toronto. Together, they created a web3 company due to a shared enthusiasm for open-source and decentralized technologies.

After five years, the web3 infrastructure firm has developed into the top multi-chain research and development organization focusing on <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/konvoy-ventures-launches-150-million-fund-targeting-web3-gaming">web3 gaming</a> and infrastructure building. ChainSafe will utilize this investment to strengthen its support for the acceptance and long-term development of the web3 ecosystem as it moves to the future.
<h2>ChainSafe's Cross-Chain Bridging Technologies</h2>
The web3 infrastructure firm has established itself as a significant creator of protocols for <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/xrp-ledger-develops-first-sidechain-for-ethereum-applications">Ethereum</a>, <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/astar-network-and-marketacross-team-up-to-coordinate-polkadot-summit-sf">Polkadot</a>, <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/filecoin-service-provider-rrmine-global-moves-to-singapore">Filecoin</a>, and other top blockchain ecosystems.
