Noteworthy developments in the crypto market continue to emerge. Accordingly, CertiK, a renowned organization in blockchain security solutions, announced the launch of CertiK Ventures, a new initiative aimed at supporting emerging on-chain platforms. CertiK Ventures will initially focus on promoting security projects, participating in venture capital (VC) rounds, and establishing ecosystem partnerships.
Significant Move by CertiK
Regarding this development, CertiK’s Director of Operations Jason Jiang made the following statement about the initiative’s importance and its impact on Web3:
“The launch of CertiK Ventures is a crucial part of our mission to secure the Web3 world. By combining our years of expertise in blockchain security with strategic investments, we aim to accelerate the growth of innovative projects that will shape the future of the industry.”
CertiK Ventures’ portfolio includes companies like Pantera, LINE, Sei, Hashkey Capital, WEMIX, Dora Hacks, Meta Era, Playbux, Shima Capital, SevenX Ventures, Borderless Capital, and Ling Feng Capital. CertiK Ventures will leverage CertiK’s blockchain security to provide resources and expertise to its portfolio companies and aims to support the development and deployment of blockchain technology.
CertiK and the Web3 Space
Founded in 2018, CertiK focuses on blockchain security and has acquired many technology-focused strong investors, including Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs, Tiger Global, and Insight Partners.
CertiK has identified over 60,000 security vulnerabilities, including a $5 million wormhole security flaw caused by a critical error in an open-source multi-chain bridge. The blockchain security firm has also worked with over 4,500 leading blockchain projects, including Ripple, Polygon, TON, BNB Chain, Sandbox, and Aptos, securing more than $380 billion in crypto assets.
According to Trust Wallet’s Head of Engineering Luis Ocegueda, CertiK’s move to support blockchain development reflects a broader industry narrative that is still in its early stages. In an interview, Ocegueda explained that the underlying technology of blockchain is still being developed but has not yet been transformed into a unified product or consistent experience.
