Great talking with @cz_binance and hearing the prediction!
Had fun chatting with @RonghuiGu and @nikichain about security, crypto, AI, etc.
This came out much more professional-looking than I expected. It was a casual chat in shorts and crocs.
Made one easy price prediction (2 weeks ago). 😆
Our CertiK NYC Open House is in full swing!
We're bringing institutional crypto compliance into focus with @RonghuiGu, @ConnorTOShea from @IBM, and @BenB_CogBlx from @MidnightNtwrk.
A great discussion on building trust in digital assets and the future of institutional adoption.
A few moments from the panel ↓

Our CertiK Chain Scan continues to strengthen Zcash security, identifying 3 additional bugs before the NU7 mainnet upgrade. 🔍🛡️
🚨 Zebra 7.0.0 is out - NU7 comes to Mainnet.
All Mainnet operators MUST upgrade before height 3,543,405 (~Nov 5) to stay on the consensus chain. 6.4.x stops itself days before activation - don't wait.

Institutional capital is moving onchain. The playbook for allocating it is evolving just as quickly.
At Multichain Day by @wrappedxyz, CertiK BD Director Magnus Chung (@magnusweb3) joined Kaye Peng, Partner at @htdgtl, for a fireside chat on onchain capital allocation, market dynamics, and how institutions are approaching the digital asset economy.
Security doesn’t end when the audit does.
Join us for CertiK Spotlight EP1: Beyond the Audit with @AlchemixFi.

10 months of showing up. ( xitter.cf/Adamua24/status/201045…)
For almost 10 months, I have been putting together weekly @CertiK and @CertiKCommunity @CertiKAlert recaps on X - following the research, security incidents, ecosystem updates and stories worth highlighting.
Today, I’m taking the work beyond X.
I have started publishing the recaps on LinkedIn, Medium and CoinMarketCap Community as well, so the work can reach more people and have a proper archive.
Nothing complicated.
Just consistent work, week after week, with the goal of making important Web3 security updates easier for the community to follow.

The tokenized economy needs security at every layer.
At STO Summit 2026 in Seoul, CertiK’s Peiyu Wang (@wisp_fly) took the stage to discuss securing tokenized assets across smart contracts, custody, applications, and infrastructure.
Building trust into the future of digital assets. 🇰🇷
What will it take to bring onchain finance into the real world?
At @kbwofficial, Angus Lee (@angusCertiK) joined leaders from Aster, SmartX, and AnyTrade to discuss the infrastructure behind the next phase of adoption, and why security needs to scale alongside it.
Well said.
Always a pleasure to work with @okx to ensure security stays a priority all year round.🤝
