Positive Start to Spring, CTK Exchange Listings and Strategic Partnerships ✅

February has been another record-breaking month for the crypto world, with the market cap of Bitcoin alone reaching one trillion dollars (yeah, trillion), institutional money free-flowing into crypto, and the parabolic rise of BSC usage.

Here at the CertiK Foundation, we haven’t forgotten one of the core tenets of blockchain technology that underpins all this; security. This month has marked some milestones in our quest to achieve provable trust for all, including a plethora of partnerships, increased availability of CTK with additional exchange listings, and the APY for collateral provision in CertiKShield reaching a massive 17.26.%+!

Let’s kick it off and check out some of the achievements from the Foundation in February.

Development

Not only have they listed CTK, we’ve formed a partnership with the Binance backed exchange to cement CertiK as their preferred security auditor. We’re thrilled to expand the accessibility of CTK to millions of exchange users worldwide!

Partnerships

Two heads are better than one, as the old saying goes. We’re firm believers of that here at the CertiK Foundation which is why we’re constantly pushing out new partnerships and onboarding projects in the CertiK Chain ecosystem to build a more secure blockchain-based future.

Spring Festival Celebration!

Last month saw us celebrate the Spring Festival at the CertiK Foundation. With this Chinese New Year being the year of the Ox (coincidence, anyone?), we thought it would be apt to spread the love with a giveaway! To reward the community and to show appreciation for everyone’s loyal participation, we will be conducting more events and giveaways in March!

Security Roundtable — Clubhouse

Our very own Aaron Leibowitz, Daryl Hok, and Mario Calicchia hosted a Security Roundtable over on Clubhouse this month. With some wonderful names from the blockchain space joining them, they discussed all things security at the best time to discuss it; before a security incident occurs.

How far will institutions go to acquire BTC? Bear or bull? BSC or Ethereum? It looks like the month of March is shaping up to answer some of these questions. Regardless of the outcome, the CertiK Foundation will continue to innovate, progress, and expand, in order to achieve our goal of provable trust for all throughout all facets of the blockchain ecosystem.
