Korean Media Interview with CertiKs Chief Business Officer Ongoing Focus on the Korean Market and Commitment to Addressing Web3 Security and Compliance Issues

CoinWorld reported:



As a leading security company in Web3.0, CertiK’s event held in collaboration with CertiK Ventures during KBW attracted widespread attention from the industry. CertiK has maintained a close partnership with local governments in South Korea, providing strong support in compliance. The recently upgraded CertiK Ventures is poised to better support local blockchain projects in South Korea. These initiatives not only signify CertiK’s effective expansion in the Korean market but also demonstrate its profound influence within the industry. In light of this, the authoritative Korean blockchain media Decenter conducted an exclusive interview with CertiK’s Chief Business Officer to gain deeper insights into CertiK’s business strategy and its latest developments in the Web3.0 security sector.
The following is the full text of the interview:
[Decenter Interview] CertiK: “Blockchain security vulnerabilities still exist… We will fill the audit gap for Meme coins.”
Web3 security company CertiK has once again visited South Korea this year, showcasing its ongoing commitment to the Korean market. From early on, CertiK has actively participated in the Busan virtual asset exchange as a partner and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for virtual asset cooperation with the city of Seoul, maintaining close collaboration with local governments. On the 4th, CertiK’s Chief Business Officer (CBO) Jason Jiang stated in an interview with Decenter, “We believe that the Web3 sector will thrive in Asia, so we are focusing our efforts in this region. Currently, CertiK is responsible for auditing all on-chain products of the Korean project WEMIX and is deepening its collaboration with KAIA.”
The portfolio of “CertiK Ventures,” established in May of this year, includes blockchain projects such as WEMIX and LINE. He noted, “We started fund investments in 2022 and officially began investing in projects from May this year. By investing in emerging projects, we hope to contribute more to industry security.” CertiK Ventures plans to enhance the accessibility of security technologies through project investments and assist in building a more secure ecosystem. The Chief Business Officer further added, “Our investments are not limited to the Web3 sector; we will also assist Web2 companies in transitioning to Web3. Our goal is to create a high-security ecosystem that promotes the popularization of the industry.”
He emphasized that blockchain security still has a long way to go, and no one has yet found a perfect solution to comprehensively identify blockchain vulnerabilities. He pointed out, “Although emerging security technologies have made some progress in enhancing the security of exchanges and blockchain ecosystems, I believe that the current issues with Meme coins remain quite serious.” In response to the inadequacies in auditing Meme coins, CertiK recently launched the “SkyKnight MemeScan” solution, allowing users to easily view audit results for Meme coins based on multiple blockchains, such as Solana. Users simply need to enter the Meme coin address to obtain relevant audit information for free.
CBO Jason Jiang noted that public awareness of blockchain security needs further improvement. He stated, “With the approval of spot ETFs for virtual assets, traditional funds are gradually entering the Web3 market, and the overall virtual asset market will show an upward trend, but it will not be a smooth upward curve.” He added, “During the process of addressing security and compliance issues in Web3, the market will experience fluctuations. To promote industry development, we will continue to maintain close cooperation with enterprises.”
