Is Trail of Bits transitioning out of "crypto"?

Imho, they are one of the best auditors out there for smart contracts. Wouldn't be surprising to see some of these talented teams find bigger markets.

No; Trail of Bits has always had multiple internal groups, including an OSS engineering group that does security and performance engineering. We still do plenty of audits as a company; you can see recent work on that front here[1] :-).

Source: I run the group that produced this work.

You all do amazing work, hope I can boast the same someday - or even 50% of it ;)

Seriously, you are my heroes!

In addition to what Will posted, published reports for blockchain projects tend to be skewed compared to our other groups.

Blockchain clients tend to want to publish the report, but that isn't true for our business lines/projects/clients that are more interesting to HN's audience.
