Candidate Profile

We believe deeply in the future of Web3 and recognize that security remains the greatest barrier to widespread adoption. Our mission at CertiK is to secure the Web3 world, and we see this mission as more critical than ever as the space continues to face evolving security threats.

Arbitrum represents one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in the Ethereum ecosystem and the broader Web3 landscape. As one of the leading Layer 2 solutions, Arbitrum's security and continued growth directly impacts the future of decentralized finance and blockchain technology.

We believe our expertise in blockchain security, incident response, and threat monitoring can help safeguard Arbitrum during critical moments. Having secured over $600 billion in digital assets and worked with nearly 4,900 projects, we understand the complexities and risks inherent in operating critical blockchain infrastructure at scale. We want to play a role in protecting and strengthening Arbitrum's role in Web3's future.

CertiK is the world's largest blockchain security firm with extensive experience securing critical infrastructure. Our relevant experience includes:

• Conducting security audits for major Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains including BNB Chain, Polygon, Aptos, TON, and SEI
• Operating a 24/7 Incident Response Team that has successfully frozen funds during active exploits and participated in numerous warroom situations
• Identifying 115,000+ code vulnerabilities and reporting 4,000+ security incidents across the Web3 ecosystem
• Discovering critical vulnerabilities in major blockchain infrastructure, including earning a $5M bounty from Wormhole, and a $500K bounty from Sui for critical bug discoveries
• Running comprehensive security monitoring through Skynet, which serves over 1.8M monthly users and monitors 18,000+ projects
• Providing security services to leading exchanges (Binance, OKX, Crypto.com) and DeFi protocols (Venus, PancakeSwap, Ondo, 1inch)

Our representative, Dickson Wu, brings direct experience from co-founding Skylock (hack frontrunning), and is an active contributor to The Security Alliance (SEAL).

CertiK has worked with over 4,900 projects across the Web3 ecosystem, including major blockchains like BNB Chain, Polygon, Aptos, TON, and SEI. We do not see any conflicts of interest that would compromise our ability to serve on the Arbitrum Security Council, as CertiK maintains strict credible neutrality across all engagements and will prioritize Arbitrum's safety above all other considerations if elected.
