CertiKShield

CertiKShield continues to flourish. We’ve got another year of learning under our belts, and now it’s time to look forward to 2021 for what is shaping up to be the best year yet for the CertiK Foundation.

The following pools were created to protect token holders:

Pancake
Multiplier
Kava
Hard
WBNB
BUSD
Nexus Mutual
CertiK

Joining a CertiKShield pool can serve to significantly mitigate the impact of a blockchain security event that results in your crypto assets becoming lost or stolen.

The benefits of CertiKShield don’t stop with pool participants. Participants on the CertiK Chain can opt to provide collateral to the CertiKShield collateral pool in return for compounding rewards at 13.3% APY.

Launch of QuickScan

Quickscan is a security toolset that enables smart contract security analysis at unprecedented speeds through the use of static and dynamic security primitives. Ultimately, this enables CertiK clients to receive an insight into the security of their smart contracts at speeds that were never before possible, further solidifying the security of their projects for both themselves and their community.

WNXM Arrives on CertiKShield

On December 14th the founder of Nexus Mutual was a victim of a hack that resulted in the loss of over $8m of Nexus Mutual tokens. As a response, we opened up the WNXM CertiKShield pool in order to enable best-in-class protection for all holders of WNXM.

Individuals who seek to protect their WNXM can join CertiKShield and purchase a WNXM Shield of their desired size. Check it out in detail here.
