Revelation Space is a non-profit Dutch hackerspace[3] founded in 2009[4][5][1] that is currently seated in Leidschendam with mainly participants from the region of South Holland.[6] The name originates from the book Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds.[4]

RevSpace participants started the development of a self-checkout prepaid payment system written in Perl which is currently used by most Dutch hackerspaces and one Swiss hackerspace.[8][7]

RevSpace participants researched the security of USB flash drives sold by HEMA, which were found to be insecure. HEMA withdraw them from the market after publication of the research.[9][10][11]
