On September 3rd, MEXC hosted an exclusive AMA with CertiK, the world’s largest Web3 security provider, to discuss how both organizations are working together to strengthen security across the crypto ecosystem. The session featured Kayvon, Head of Advisory at CertiK, alongside the MEXC hosts. The discussion covered the importance of smart contract audits, common vulnerabilities, the role of AI in security, and how CertiK’s Skynet platform empowers users to make safer investment decisions.
Kayvon explained why security audits are essential for all crypto users, not just developers. Since smart contracts are immutable once deployed, vulnerabilities can lead to severe exploits and fund losses. However, he clarified that audits are not absolute guarantees and emphasized two critical points:
- Scope of audits matters — some projects only audit specific components, leaving other code unverified.
- The quality of auditors matters — established firms like CertiK provide deeper insights compared to automated or low-tier audits.
The AMA also highlighted CertiK’s Skynet platform, a powerful tool for real-time project monitoring and risk assessment. Through Skynet, users can:
- Access security ratings ranging from 0–100 with tier labels
- Review audit reports from CertiK and other firms.
- Track on-chain activity and detect anomalies through continuous monitoring.
- This enables both investors and exchanges to make data-driven security decisions when evaluating new tokens or projects.
Finally, Kayvon also shared insights on how AI and automation will streamline vulnerability detection, freeing human experts to focus on complex threats. He recommended bug bounty programs, team KYC verification, and continuous monitoring as additional security layers.
