Protocol Security Audits with CertiK
In this episode, Kevin from CertiK breaks down how the company is building security infrastructure for the blockchain space, from smart contract audits to real-time threat detection. While most people know CertiK for its manual code audits, Kevin highlights the growing importance of Skynet—a 24/7 monitoring tool that tracks exploits like flash loan attacks, unusual liquidity spikes, and even social sentiment. Together, these tools offer a more proactive approach to security, catching vulnerabilities not just before launch but after deployment as well.
The conversation also covers how CertiK’s approach stands apart through its blend of automated scanning and manual review, supported by a growing database of known vulnerabilities. Kevin emphasizes that Skynet is not a substitute for an audit, but rather an enhancement—especially important for projects interacting with oracles, external protocols, or novel code. With growing support across ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos, CertiK continues to expand its footprint as a trusted auditor in Web3.
In this podcast episode, Kevin from CertiK goes over security processes that CertiK does for auditing smart contracts and blockchain protocols.
