Cryptocurrency companies have been going public in recent months, underscoring the ecosystem's growth and maturity. In recent months, Bullish, BitGo, Gemini, and a host of other companies have listed on the stock exchange.
CertiK, the largest Web3 security services provider, is now looking to join this group of companies in doing an IPO.
CertiK is Set to Go Public
CertiK, the largest Web3 security services provider, is working to become the first publicly traded company in Web3 infrastructure. This roadmap toward a public listing is bolstered by a recent landmark investment from Binance, which established the global exchange as CertiK’s largest investor to date.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, CertiK said it is leveraging its investments and partnerships to accelerate the development of its product, focusing on scaling services for institutional clients.
A key part of its operation is Skynet Enterprise, its enterprise-grade security platform built to meet the transparency, risk visibility, and data quality requirements of large institutions and regulators.
The firm added that it is working closely with several regulatory bodies to implement Skynet Enterprise. By utilizing on-chain monitoring technology, Skynet Enterprise provides real-time alerting systems and dashboards that allow regulators to monitor security incidents firsthand.
CertiK is helping to build a more transparent, traceable, and resilient digital asset marketby delivering tailored insights of real-time risk changes and ecosystem trends.
Furthermore, CertiK is advancing its institutional-grade auditing services, the core methodology of which involves the application of Formal Verification powered by the proprietary Spoq engine.
Validated by research in OSDI 2023 and ASPLOS 2026, CertiK explained that this engine integrates AI technology to improve the scalability and execution efficiency of formal verification, delivering the high-level mathematical security required by risk-averse institutional clients.
While commenting on the plans to go public, Ronghui Gu, Co-Founder and CEO of CertiK, said,
“Taking CertiK public is a natural next step as we continue scaling our products and technology. Going forward, we remain focused on strengthening the trust, security, and transparency that regulators, institutions, and users expect from the Web3 ecosystem.”
Valued at more than $2 billion, the IPO will see CertiK enter the next stage of its growth with a strong foundation and clear vision.
CertiK is the largest Web3 security services provider, utilizing industry-leading formal verification technology to protect and monitor blockchain protocols and smart contracts. Founded in December 2017 by professors from Yale University and Columbia University, CertiK applies cutting-edge innovations from academia to enterprise, enabling mission-critical applications to scale with safety and correctness.
To date, CertiK has worked with more than 5,000 enterprise clients, secured over $600 billion worth of digital assets, and detected more than 180,000 vulnerabilities in blockchain code. Its clients include industry-leading projects such as Binance, Ethereum Foundation, BNB Chain, Aptos, Ripple, Sandbox, Polygon, and TON.
