CertiK, a renowned figure in blockchain security solutions, has recently introduced CertiK Ventures, a fresh endeavor designed to lend support to emerging on-chain platforms.

CertiK Ventures is dedicated to championing projects that prioritize security, engaging in venture capital (VC) rounds, and forging ecosystem collaborations.

Jason Jiang, the Chief Business Officer at CertiK, emphasized the significance of this initiative and its implications for Web3:

"The establishment of CertiK Ventures marks a crucial phase in our mission to fortify the Web3 realm. By amalgamating our extensive experience in blockchain security with strategic investments, we strive to expedite the progress of pioneering projects that will influence the industry's future."

Nurturing Blockchain Expansion

CertiK Ventures' roster encompasses entities like Pantera, LINE, Sei, Hashkey Capital, WEMIX, Dora Hacks, Meta Era, Playbux, Shima Capital, SevenX Ventures, Borderless Capital, and Ling Feng Capital.

Utilizing CertiK's blockchain security proficiency, CertiK Ventures aims to furnish resources and knowledge to its portfolio firms to bolster the "development and execution" of blockchain technology.

Emphasis on Security

Founded in 2018, CertiK concentrates on blockchain security and has garnered support from prominent tech-focused investors such as Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs, Tiger Global, and Insight Partners.

The firm has identified over 60,000 vulnerabilities, including a recent $5 million Wormhole security loophole triggered by a "critical flaw" in the open-source multichain bridge.

Notably, CertiK has secured assets exceeding $380 billion in value, collaborating with over 4,500 notable blockchain projects like Ripple, Polygon, TON, BNB Chain, Sandbox, and Aptos.

Broadening Horizons

CertiK's initiative to bolster blockchain progression mirrors a larger industry narrative that remains in its infancy, as stated by Luis Ocegueda, Trust Wallet's head of engineering.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Ocegueda highlighted that while the foundational technology of blockchain is evolving, it has yet to be molded into "a unified product or experience."
