CertiK, the leading global Web3, blockchain and smart contract security firm headquartered in New York, today announced a new partnership with KuCoin Community Chain (KCC), a Layer 1 blockchain that accelerates the flow of value around the world.

This partnership streamlines the onboarding process for new projects built on KCC, giving users, founders, and investors the confidence that comes from integrating secure development practices into the ecosystem’s foundations.

“We’re excited to be working closely with KuCoin Community Chain to raise the standard of security and transparency in this new blockchain ecosystem. KCC is protecting its builders, its users, and its future by integrating secure practices into the very foundations of its blockchain,” said Jason Jiang, CertiK’s Chief Business Officer.

CertiK leverages the expertise it has gained from auditing more than 3,700 Web3 projects. With more than $360 billion of secured market capitalization across over a dozen blockchains, CertiK-audited projects have gone on to play critical roles in forming the future of Web3.

"This security partnership with CertiK is a major step forward for the KuCoin Community Chain ecosystem and Web3 more broadly. We're excited to be bringing CertiK's Security Suite to our blockchain, which will raise the standard of security and transparency for all users and builders on KCC,” said Leandre Niu, CTO of KuCoin Community Chain.

Partnering with KCC is a step forward for the KCC ecosystem, for projects built on the fast, secure chain, and for the broader Web3 community. This partnership raises the standard of security and transparency in the growing KCC ecosystem.
