Since its founding in 2018, CertiK has become the gold standard for blockchain auditing and crypto project KYC. Keeping your funds safe from rug pull!

Happy Birthday, CertiK!

In the four years since CertiK launched in December 2018, the blockchain security firm has become synonymous with blockchain auditing and rug-pull prevention in the crypto space.

In a Twitter post celebrating the occasion as CertiK begins its fifth year in existence, the company said it has audited more than 3,700 projects and protected $360 billion of assets.

Today #CertiK celebrates 5 years 🎂

Since 12/21/18 from a team size of 7 to today with a team size of nearly 300 📈

We've audited over 3700+ projects & protected $360B of assets 🔐

In response to a Twitter critic, CertiK said only one CertiK KYC’ed project went on to rug-pull investors.

ONE CertiK KYC'ed project has rug pulled and you can see our response in our blog 👇

While audits can highlight vulnerabilities that make rugpull's easier, it is not a KYC. Which is why we highly encourage users/communities to request a KYC from CertiK https://t.co/neOcRXxp75
