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] :-).

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

Seriously, you are my heroes!
