This includes security auditing, formal verification, monitoring, detection, as well as protection of client blockchain and smart contracts," Gu added.

CertiK said that both its Security Leaderboard and Skynet active-monitoring platforms are seeing incredible growth. Since the end of 2020, Skynet's booked revenue has grown 2,300%, and the total number of users on the Security Leaderboard has grown 2,000%, the company said.
