DLT Security Solutions
Strategy, architecture design, and security assessments for institutions building distributed ledger technologies (DLT), covering on-chain systems, off-chain infrastructure, and regulatory readiness.
Advisory
DLT strategy & integration advisory
Guidance for institutions adopting DLT, covering secure on-chain architecture, resilient off-chain infrastructure, and the boundaries between them.
Covers: Chain selection and design tradeoffs, consensus and finality requirements, node/validator topology, and data privacy & sovereignty constraints.
Covers: Tokenization, cross-chain flows, upgradeability patterns, institutional-grade governance design, token economics and incentive risks.
Covers: Crypto custody, key management and signing workflows, backend system hardening, and integration boundary reviews.
Environments: Public blockchains (e.g., Ethereum, Solana), private blockchains (e.g., Quorum, Besu), and institutional contract environments like the Canton Network.
Layer: L1/L2, side chains, bridges, identity, oracles, nodes, and wallets.
Languages: Solidity, DAML, Rust, Move, Go, Java, JS/TS, C++, CosmWasm, Haskell, and OCaml.
Supported Environments
Public, private, & permissioned ledger support
CertiK supports diverse DLT environments based on institutional privacy and operational requirements.
Security Assessments
DLT security audits & reviews
Security validation for smart contract, protocols, and chain-level components with clear remediation outcomes.
DLT Audit Workflow
Risk Coverage
Web portals, mobile apps (Android and iOS), backend APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
Secrets and key management, wallet signing procedures, and simulated phishing campaigns.
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing for applications & infrastructure
Offensive security testing across customer-facing apps, backend services, and core infrastructure.
Designed in line with security best practices including OWASP Top 10, NIST SP 800-115, and CREST.
Compliance
Compliance advisory enabled by technology
A practical bridge between technical implementation and regulatory expectations. Including Vara, MiCA & DORA, HKSFC, MAS, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and more.
Regulatory mapping:
Frameworks by jurisdiction/entity type + requirements matrix
Gap analysis:
Controls review + prioritized remediation roadmap
License readiness:
Submission review, supporting policy pack guidance, regulator Q&A support
Continuous Security & Compliance
Extend assurance post-launch
Leverage ongoing protection through real-time intelligence for proactive security.
Institutional Implementation
Technical execution & managed infrastructure
Turning DLT strategy into production-ready environments through engineering excellence and managed services.
Architect and manage the underlying network layers to ensure high availability and technical resilience through custom chain deployment, validator management, and automated failover planning.
Our team executes the secure launch of institutional financial products and governance systems, including stablecoins, RWAs, and DEXs, using battle-tested smart contract patterns and upgradeability controls.
Bridge the gap between traditional backend systems and decentralized ledgers by developing secure APIs, block explorers, and privacy-preserving tools such as Zero-Knowledge proofs.
