In the realm of blockchain security, CertiK has garnered high praise from The Open Network (TON) for its outstanding auditing capabilities and industry-leading formal verification technology, ranking first in the list of Security Assurance Providers (SAP) recommended by the TON official. This not only highlights CertiK’s professional expertise in blockchain security but also underscores the affirmation of their long-standing close collaboration.
This article will review the collaborative journey between CertiK and TON, highlighting important milestones and key details to demonstrate how this partnership has continuously propelled TON to new heights in the blockchain industry.
In November 2022, CertiK completed the initial audit of TON, focusing on the security assessment of the core protocol, including code security for smart contracts, vulnerability detection, and potential risk evaluation. Through meticulous code review and formal verification, the CertiK team successfully identified and rectified several potential security vulnerabilities, ensuring the security and stability of the TON network.
In January 2023, CertiK and TON formally announced their partnership. This collaboration not only acknowledges the results of CertiK’s audit work but also marks the beginning of deeper cooperation between the two parties. CertiK’s audit report provided TON with a clear assessment of the current security status and helped the TON team understand and address critical security issues within the system. This collaboration encompassed multiple sub-projects of TON, ensuring the overall security and stability of the system. During this period, CertiK summarized their experiences in auditing TON and authored “Secure Smart Contract Programming in FunC: Top 10 Tips for TON Developers,” providing developers with a comprehensive guide and serving as a trusted reference material for the TON team.
In November 2023, TON underwent stress testing and set a new world record, being certified as the fastest public chain globally. As their security partner, CertiK not only verified and confirmed the data generated from this test but also assisted the TON Foundation in verifying the speed of their network.
The collaboration between CertiK and TON extends beyond the technical and auditing aspects to include close community interaction. CertiK maintains active communication with the TON community, driving project development together. In April 2024, CertiK released a case study on TON, illustrating how TON has set a new standard in blockchain technology with its global fastest blockchain speed, top-notch security, and robust community governance. TON’s commitment to security is reflected through multiple comprehensive audits, earning a dynamic CertiK rating of 92.19 AA on the Skynet platform.
As the collaboration between CertiK and TON deepens, we witness TON’s innovation and growth in the blockchain field. CertiK’s professional capabilities and ongoing pursuit of security provide TON with a solid security foundation, enabling steady progress in the competitive blockchain industry. The partnership between both parties not only reflects close collaboration at the technical level but also a shared vision of driving community development and knowledge sharing. CertiK will continue to leverage its professional expertise to offer comprehensive security protection for more blockchain projects, promote industry security standards and practices, and advance the healthy development of the Web3.0 ecosystem.
