CertiK Skynet introduces a dynamic and comprehensive ranking system for blockchain projects known as the Leaderboard concept. This system offers various Leaderboards tailored to different metrics, providing users with valuable insights into the blockchain ecosystem.

We have a range of Leaderboards that assess different aspects of project performance. These include the "Security Score Leaderboard," which evaluates projects' security measures, the "Verified Teams Leaderboard," which ranks projects based on their KYC compliance and status, and the "Bug Bounty Leaderboard," showcasing projects with open bug bounty programs. We also have a specialized "Layer 2 Leaderboard" exclusively focusing on the security score for Layer 2 projects and a "Pre-Launch Leaderboard" that highlights upcoming projects yet to launch their tokens.

CertiK Skynet's Leaderboards are an invaluable resource for stakeholders looking to assess the credibility, security, and potential of blockchain projects.

Security Score Leaderboard

The Security Score Leaderboard is a critical metric for assessing the security posture of blockchain projects. It ranks projects based on a comprehensive evaluation of their smart contracts, codebase, infrastructure, and overall security measures. A higher score indicates a stronger commitment to security, giving users confidence in the project's security robustness. To learn more about the CertiK Security Score, visit our blog.

Verified Teams Leaderboard

CertiK has launched a new Verified Teams (KYC) Leaderboard on the Skynet for Community platform, which enables investors to easily identify verified projects and stay up-to-date with the latest KYC news and research reports. The Verified Teams Leaderboard aggregates essential team information such as geo risk, the number of team members verified, project maturity, and other data. It also features a KYC ranking system with Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels that offer insight into the KYC process results. This allows investors to quickly identify the most trustworthy projects while maintaining anonymity for project team members.

CertiK takes confidentiality and privacy seriously as part of the KYC process. None of the information displayed on the KYC project profiles includes personally identifiable information (PII).

About CertiK's KYC Badge

Our rigorous KYC process begins with a founder interview and collecting key team members’ personal information, including their name, address, date of birth, and other details. We then use advanced technologies and methods to verify this information, including cross-referencing with public databases and conducting manual checks where necessary. Our team also uses AI-powered tools to detect any fraudulent activities or fake documents.

Once we have verified the team’s identity, we store their information securely and confidentially, protecting it from any potential data breaches or cyber attacks. We also regularly update our KYC process to remain effective against new and evolving forms of fraud, including ongoing monitoring of customer accounts and transactions for suspicious activities.

KYC Insights and Community Education

CertiK's commitment to KYC goes beyond just verifying the identities of our customers. We also strive to educate the community about the importance of KYC and provide insights into the latest developments in this field.

On our KYC page, you can find a wealth of resources that will help you understand the KYC process and why it's essential for Web3 projects. Our blog posts cover topics such as the latest KYC regulations, best practices for KYC compliance, and real-world examples of how KYC can prevent fraudulent activities.

We also feature a list of projects that have recently undergone our KYC verification process and case studies, highlighting the benefits of becoming KYC verified and how it can increase investor trust and confidence.

Bug Bounty Leaderboard

The Bug Bounty Leaderboard showcases projects that have open bug bounty programs. Bug bounties encourage security researchers and developers to identify and report vulnerabilities in a project's code or infrastructure. The Leaderboard makes it easy to search for open bug bounty programs and to sort these programs by their reward amount, funds reserved, assets, or requirements.

Layer 2 Leaderboard

The Layer 2 Leaderboard specifically assesses the security score of Layer 2 projects within the blockchain ecosystem. Layer 2 solutions aim to enhance scalability and reduce transaction costs. This leaderboard helps users identify Layer 2 projects that prioritize security, a critical consideration in the broader context of blockchain scalability.

Pre-Launch Leaderboard

The Pre-Launch Leaderboard focuses on projects that have yet to launch their tokens. This leaderboard provides a preview of upcoming blockchain initiatives, helping users keep an eye on promising projects before they hit the market. It allows potential investors and enthusiasts to explore and evaluate projects in their early stages.

Each of these CertiK Skynet Leaderboards serves a unique purpose, catering to the diverse needs and interests of participants in the blockchain ecosystem, whether they are concerned with security, team credibility, bug mitigation, scalability, or the anticipation of emerging projects.
