Our take
CertiK is a blockchain security company providing real-time insights into security issues within the cryptocurrency sector. CertiK has audited thousands of Web 3.0 projects, and its reports are used to protect over $500 billion in market capital.
With a rise in financial crime linked to complex new decentralised finance products, the Web 3.0 sector experiences billions in losses to hacking and fraud. CertiK is making the most of the growing appetite for security with its range of solutions, such as CertiKShield that offers community-based insurance for crypto-asset holders.
Its lead investors include NGC, a dedicated blockchain investor, and Binance Labs, a spin-off branch of the world's largest cryptocurrency. CertiK is currently eyeing up the chances of an IPO, although it will need to work on building back trust after a series of controversies have plagued the company in recent times.
