CertiK, the blockchain security firm best known for smart contract auditing, has introduced a new brand identity at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, a leading annual digital asset conference, presenting its next phase as "The Trust Layer for Digital Value." The update was presented by Chief Business Officer Jason Jiang and frames the company's work as "Building the Trust Infrastructure for the Digital Economy."

The change marks a shift from a specialist Web3 security provider toward a broader role across the digital asset ecosystem. According to CertiK, the new positioning reflects the company's evolution from early code review work into services designed for financial institutions, regulators, and enterprises that require stronger security, compliance, and risk controls.

From Specialized Audits to Ecosystem-Wide Assurance

"Digital assets are changing how value moves. Institutions offering digital asset services and the regulators overseeing them need security, compliance, and risk visibility to work together," said Jason Jiang, Chief Business Officer at CertiK, in a written statement. "Our brand upgrade reflects how CertiK has evolved to support those needs, and our ambition to serve as the trust layer for digital value," he added.

The repositioning is supported by a product and service portfolio spanning Skynet, CertiK Compliance, CertiK Supervision, and CertiK AI Auditor, alongside Smart Contract Audit, Expert Formal Verification, Penetration Testing, Proof of Reserves, and Validator Services. These offerings are designed to deliver continuous monitoring, compliance risk management, regulatory oversight, AI-assisted code review, and independent verification of reserves and infrastructure. The range addresses the gap between one-time code review and the continuous assurance the company says institutional and regulatory users require.

CertiK also said it contributes technical expertise to digital asset policy discussions in markets including the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the UAE, linking security assessment practices with the expectations of regulated digital asset environments.

Founded in 2017 by professors from Yale University and Columbia University, CertiK traces its methodology to formal verification techniques. The company says it has served more than 5,500 clients across over 150 countries and regions, identified more than 119,000 code vulnerabilities, and helped secure over $600 billion in digital assets — a track record the company now presents as the foundation for its institutional push.

The brand upgrade defines CertiK's next stage as it extends its security background to the wider digital economy, serving both organizations developing digital asset systems and the authorities responsible for overseeing them. How the expanded services are taken up by regulated institutions, and how CertiK's role in the policy discussions it named develops, will offer signals for how the trust-layer positioning is received.
