About NGRAVE

We are here to change the way people view crypto, experience crypto, use crypto.   We eradicate the loss and the malicious hacking of your crypto. We believe we are all in this together.
Join our movement.

NGRAVE was born from the personal and professional experience of its founders. Xavier Hendrickx lived through major hacks such as Mt. Gox and the Parity hack first-hand, and kept believing in what blockchain technology makes possible. Together with Ruben Merre and Edouard Vanham, he set out to redefine what security and usability should look like in self-custody, driven by a shared mission: protect investors and prevent avoidable losses. ZERO, GRAPHENE and LIQUID are the result, and every NGRAVE product is manufactured in Belgium.
