CertiK

CertiK offers a wide range of turnaround times — from 1 week for simple contracts through to 6 weeks for complex DeFi systems. This flexibility makes CertiK accessible for teams with time pressure, including projects approaching exchange listing or token launch deadlines. The firm's scale (300+ security researchers) enables faster turnaround than smaller boutique auditors for comparable scope.

CertiK's pricing ranges from approximately $5,000 for simple token contracts through to $500,000+ for complex, multi-component DeFi systems — the widest pricing range of any major auditor. This breadth makes CertiK accessible to early-stage projects with limited budgets while also serving major protocol upgrades. Pricing is determined by codebase size, complexity, and the services required (audit + formal verification + on-chain monitoring).

CertiK supports a broad range of chains and languages — EVM chains (Solidity, Vyper), Solana (Rust), Cosmos (Go/CosmWasm), and others. This multi-chain coverage is a meaningful differentiator for projects building across multiple ecosystems or for non-EVM chains where some other auditors have limited capability.

CertiK maintains a public Security Leaderboard with on-chain security scores for audited projects — a widely-used due diligence resource for investors and users evaluating protocol safety. The score reflects audit findings, team credibility, and ongoing monitoring data. A published CertiK score has become a standard signal of audit credibility for token launches and exchange listing applications.

Yes — CertiK's Skynet platform provides continuous on-chain security monitoring for deployed contracts, detecting anomalous transactions, price oracle manipulation, and other attack patterns in real time. This post-audit monitoring service is an option for protocols that want ongoing security visibility beyond the point-in-time audit report.

CertiK has audited 4,500+ projects and helped secure hundreds of billions in on-chain assets — making it the most prolific smart contract audit firm globally by volume. This breadth of experience across thousands of codebases gives the firm extensive pattern recognition for common vulnerability classes, even if its depth on the most complex novel protocols is exceeded by boutique specialists like Trail of Bits.
