The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic (NBKR) has entered into a strategic partnership with blockchain security firm Certik to strengthen security protocols for the country's proposed Digital Som and enhance regulatory oversight of digital assets. Under a memorandum of understanding signed by both entities, the Kyrgyz central bank and Certik will collaborate on cybersecurity, digital asset custody, anti-money laundering (AML) controls, and the counter-financing of terrorism (CFT). The initiative places Certik inside a central-bank operational framework, establishing a potential model for technical integration within highly regulated state financial institutions. "The Memorandum of Understanding that we are signing today establishes a framework for further dialogue and cooperation," said Sanzhar Abdygaziev, a member of the management board of the NBKR. "We see particular value in exchanging experience and expertise in blockchain and digital asset security, cybersecurity, AML/CFT, and the analysis and monitoring of digital asset transactions." As central banks globally evaluate central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and digital asset frameworks, the agreement focuses on integrating technical security and formal verification measures during the infrastructure design stage rather than post-deployment. "Digital asset infrastructure requires security and risk management to be considered from the earliest stages of design through ongoing operation," said Ronghui Gu, co-founder and chief executive officer of Certik. "We look forward to bringing Certik's expertise and experience to our long-term cooperation with the NBKR, supporting the secure development of the country's digital asset ecosystem."

Under the agreement, the NBKR will explore deploying Certik's supervision and compliance tools to support real-time transaction monitoring, regulatory advisory, and licensing standards. The partnership also includes technical training and knowledge transfer for central bank personnel. The engagement in Kyrgyzstan builds on Certik's broader involvement in global regulatory frameworks. The security firm has previously provided technical advisory support to regulators in the United States and contributed to public consultations held by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Certik-NBKR agreement comes on the heels of the third meeting of Kyrgyzstan's National Council for the Development of Virtual Assets and Blockchain Technologies, chaired by President Sadyr Japarov. At the meeting, the Kyrgyz leader reiterated that building a safe, well-regulated digital asset ecosystem is a priority for state policy. Japarov also instructed the National Agency for Virtual Assets and Blockchain Technologies (NAVA) to roll out updated legislative amendments and bylaws within three months to harden the national regulatory framework.

Webacy partners with CertiK to strengthen its bug bounty program. August 24, 2026 Webacy is excited to partner with CertiK to revamp Webacy's bug bounty program, adding another layer to its defense-in-depth strategy. As AI makes it easier than ever to generate and submit vulnerability reports, one of the challenges is separating real, actionable risk from the noise. CertiK's team brings an important human and technical layer to that process, helping triage submissions, identify high-quality findings, and curate trusted security researchers so its team can focus quickly on the vulnerabilities that actually matter. Bug bounties aren't a replacement for audits, monitoring, secure development practices, or internal security controls. They're another layer alongside them. This defense-in-depth approach is something every organization should be thinking about. Webacy is excited to continue raising the bar for how Webacy protect Webacy and the customers who rely on Webacy.
Digital Asset Clearing Center completes CertiK security audit of smart-contract for DACC ChainFusion(TM). 17/08/2026 Named Gold Winner in Banking-as-a-Service Innovation at the Juniper Research Fintech Payments Awards 2026 HONG KONG, Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Digital Asset Clearing Center (DACC), the leading cross-border bank grade Web3 global independent clearing ecosystem for Hong Kong, today announced that CertiK, the largest Web3 security services provider, has completed a security audit of the in-scope smart-contract code supporting specified components of DACC ChainFusion(TM) technology platform. The audit assessed the in-scope smart contract code for potential vulnerabilities, including risks associated with privileged functions, role-based permissions, access-control logic, and other security-relevant aspects of the audited smart contracts. The resulting findings and recommendations were documented in CertiK's final audit report. The engagement comes amid the continued development of Hong Kong's digital bond ecosystem and growing interest in bond tokenisation. DACC ChainFusion(TM) is designed to bridge traditional finance with public and private blockchain networks. "As institutional adoption of tokenised assets grows and with Hong Kong positioning itself to capture this market as well as introduce tokenised assets for retail, we support this effort to be the direct regulatory interface for digital assets from inception to distribution through our DACC ChainFusion(TM) technology," said Serra Wei, co-founder and Chairwoman of the Digital Asset Clearing Center. "A stronger foundation for tokenised markets starts with security. As part of our process to support retail digital asset bonds, DACC engaged CertiK to conduct a smart-contract review of the DACC ChainFusion(TM) platform." A smart-contract security audit is an important component of assessing the code that supports defined on-chain asset-issuance and lifecycle processes. Smart-contracts can support key processes throughout the lifecycle of tokenised assets, from issuance and ownership records to programmed events and settlement workflows. For issuers, investors and financial institutions, confidence in smart-contract architecture is fundamental. Featuring bank-grade hot-cold wallet segregation and real-time KYT/AML transaction screening, DACC ChainFusion(TM) is designed with security, transparency, and national grade operational controls. "CertiK is committed to delivering comprehensive security solutions that help protect digital assets and strengthen security across the Web3 ecosystem," said Yuannan Yang, Director of Security Engineering at CertiK. "As tokenised assets become more closely integrated with mainstream financial markets, security needs to be considered from the outset. DACC has made that a clear priority in the development of ChainFusion(TM), and we value the opportunity to work with its team on this important step." To showcase the innovation behind DACC ChainFusion(TM), Juniper Research awarded Digital Asset Clearing Center a Gold Winner in the Banking-as-a-Service Innovation category of its Fintech Payments Awards 2026. The Juniper Research Future Digital Awards recognise start-ups and established players shaping the future of financial services. Entries are reviewed by a Juniper Research analyst panel, assessed against a rigorous set of criteria, and verified by the firm's judging panel.
