New York, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CertiK, Web3’s leading security firm, is proud to announce the integration of its Skynet Security Score into the OKX Web3 Earn DeFi aggregator. OKX is the second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume and a leading Web3 technology company, and CertiK is the leading provider of blockchain security solutions.
CertiK’s Skynet Security Score employs a weighted average of security measures to evaluate the security standing of a Web3 project, enabling users to easily assess the security of any particular project at a glance. Combining metrics such as code audits, operational resilience, market stability, and the developer team’s background, the Skynet Security Score is a powerful addition to the diligent investor’s toolkit.
OKX Web3 Earn is an all-in-one platform that helps users make the most of decentralized finance, allowing them to find, compare, and manage yield-bearing investments in different DeFi protocols using a single, streamlined interface. With Web3 Earn, users can discover opportunities to earn yield across nine different chains and 80+ DeFi protocols, with more being added soon.
It’s important for the due diligence process to be as comprehensive as possible, but analyzing Web3 security has not always been simple. The integration of CertiK’s Skynet Security Score into OKX Web3 Earn now makes it easy to identify projects that understand the importance of security for the future of their project.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with OKX,” said CertiK Chief Business Officer Jason Jiang. “With our combined expertise, we are confident that this partnership will lead the way in enhancing the standard of security and transparency in the DeFi space.”
OKX Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau said: “At OKX, we prioritize increasing transparency and security for our users. While our industry-leading Proof of Reserves system provides transparency for assets held on our platform, we also wanted to improve transparency for users who self-custody their assets. We’re excited to integrate by implementing strict security protocols and using our Proof of Reserves system. We’re excited to integrate Certik’s Skynet Security Score into our platform, providing users with a simplified score and additional confidence in assessing the security of Earn protocols”
CertiK is on a mission to raise the standard of security and transparency in Web3, and this partnership with OKX is a major step toward a safer, more open ecosystem.
