CertiK is leading blockchain security auditor founded in 2018, known for its advanced AI-driven technology to identify and remediate vulnerabilities in blockchain protocols, wallets, dApps, and smart contracts. As part of its broader suite of products covering the entire Web3 security lifecycle, Skynet empowers users to protect their assets, stay informed, and navigate the decentralized world with confidence.
CertiK’s Skynet platform analyzes 13,000+ projects through its real-time evaluation system that delivers independent assessment of Web3 projects, exchanges, and wallets. Skynet monitors Web3 projects continuously, delivering security insights, risk analytics, and due diligence data for blockchain protocols and DeFi ecosystems. CertiK uses CoinGecko API for its real-time market data feeds on Skynet, enabling security analysis and comprehensive project evaluation.
The Challenge: Bridging Security Analysis with Market Intelligence
As the Web3 ecosystem expanded rapidly, CertiK needed a trusted and reliable crypto market data provider to perform project analyses. CertiK identified an opportunity to enhance its security analysis and project verification capabilities through comprehensive market data integration. The objective required efficient access to accurate, current information for digital assets across all market capitalizations, including emerging tokens and established projects. This enhancement would strengthen security assessments for both retail users and enterprise clients by incorporating real-time market intelligence into existing security evaluation frameworks.
The Solution: Strategic API Integration for Enhanced Security Evaluation
CertiK’s Skynet Leaderboard combines security scores with real-time market data, allowing users to evaluate Web3 projects by security, market performance, and trading activity.
“CertiK’s Skynet for Community, integrates with CoinGecko’s APIs to provide the community with tools that provide crypto price and market performance data, as well as on-chain metrics, social signals, and security trust score. This enables trust and transparency in Web3, as part of due diligence for our community.”
CertiK integrated CoinGecko’s API into its Skynet platform to create a unified security and market intelligence system.
Real-Time Price Monitoring and Risk Correlation
Using CoinGecko’s /simple/price endpoint, Skynet continuously retrieves current pricing data for thousands of digital assets. This real-time price feed allows CertiK to detect unusual price movements that may correlate with security incidents, monitor market volatility patterns during security audits, and provide users with up-to-the-minute asset valuations alongside security ratings.
Comprehensive Project Intelligence
Through the /coins/{id} endpoint, Skynet accesses detailed project information including market capitalization, trading volumes, circulating supply, and historical performance data. This comprehensive dataset enables CertiK to weight security scores against market maturity and liquidity metrics while identifying projects with strong security profiles but limited market presence. The integration provides context-rich evaluations that consider both technical security and market dynamics.
Multi-Dimensional Project Assessment
Additional endpoints including /coins/list, /exchanges, and /coins/markets provide supplementary data for complete project evaluation. This functionality allows Skynet to cross-reference projects across multiple exchanges and markets, validate project legitimacy through market presence verification, and create comprehensive project rankings that integrate security, market performance, and ecosystem participation.
Conclusion
The CoinGecko API integration has strengthened CertiK’s ability to deliver comprehensive, data-rich security insights to the Web3 community. The collaboration provides users, developers, and enterprises access to integrated security and market intelligence for informed decision-making processes.
