Submit Project for CertiK Security Audit Credits

About CertiK

CertiK is a pioneer in blockchain security, utilizing best-in-class AI technology to secure and monitor blockchain projects. We're an innovator in the blockchain security space, combining academic expertise with enterprise-grade solutions to protect the web3 world. For the Crypto World's Fair hackathon, we're excited to support builders by providing essential security resources.

Mission

Our goal is to back promising projects emerging from the Crypto World's Fair hackathon by providing critical security audits, helping them launch confidently on mainnet, and attracting further investment.

Hackathon Track Scope

This track is for any team submitting a project to the Crypto World's Fair hackathon that plans to launch on mainnet and raise capital post-hackathon. We're looking for projects building for the long run, especially those handling user funds or on-chain value (DeFi, payments, stablecoins, RWAs, consumer apps with real assets). If you want to show investors and users that security is a core part of your foundation from day one, this track is for you.

Submission Requirements

To enter, tell us about your project and its future plans. Your submission should include:

• Your Colosseum hackathon submission link and a public GitHub repo (or access instructions).

• A brief description of your project, the problem it solves, and your target users.

• Details on the programs/contracts you want audited, including approximate line count, and your target mainnet launch date.

• Your 6–12 month roadmap, covering planned product releases, integrations, and key milestones (like token launches, new markets, or institutional partnerships).

• Your team's details: names, roles, X/GitHub handles, and whether the core team is working full-time on the project.

• Your fundraising status and plans: whether you're bootstrapped, grant-funded, have already raised, or are currently raising—including target round, timing, and any focus on regulated markets or institutional partners.

• The best contact for a scoping call (Telegram handle or email).

Judging Criteria

Winners will be selected based on:

• Security Relevance: The value at risk and amount of funds handled by the project.

• Technical Maturity: How feature-complete or testnet-ready your code is.

• Fundability and Long-Term Commitment: A credible roadmap, a dedicated team, and a clear path from hackathon to a funded, live product.
