Building a safer Web3 @CertiK. Curious by default.

[CertiK @CertiK]

CertiK is proud to be a Community Partner of @token2049 Singapore 2026. 🇸🇬

On October 7–8, the global crypto community returns to Marina Bay Sands, bringing together 25,000+ attendees and 4,000+ companies for two days of ideas, connections, and conversations shaping the future of Web3.

From 300+ industry speakers and the NEXUS Startup Competition to the Origins Hackathon and 1,000+ events across TOKEN2049 Week, Singapore will once again be at the center of the industry.

As Web3 continues to scale, security remains fundamental to building a stronger ecosystem. We’re looking forward to meeting the builders, teams, and industry leaders moving the space forward.

See you in Singapore!

At the Orca AI Agent event, I spoke about security for AI agents and prediction markets, and why it goes beyond audits.

If an agent gets misleading information, what stops it from making an expensive mistake?

Thanks to the @OrcaOfficialAI team for having me.

[Ali Ashar @alyyashar]

Most of the security questions in prediction markets come down to resolution and most of them in AI agents come down to permissions. Both are easy to skip past when the code looks fine.

I’ll be joining the @OrcaOfficialAI AI Agent Gala Dinner in Dubai as a special guest, representing @CertiK .

In my talk, I’ll cover how to secure outcome resolution in prediction markets, and how AI agents can safely read external data, use wallets, and carry out on-chain actions.

I’ll also share how CertiK is building a new operational security service line to address the wider operational risks that sit outside a code audit. How keys are held and used? who can approve what? and whether the response plan has ever been tested.

Will be around for the evening. Drop me a DM if you're attending.

Few days back I was at @MalaysiaBCW #MYBW2026, and one thing I noticed is how much of the market is being driven by execution now instead of narrative.

People were already building. RWA, Banks, and even regulators .. all shipping something.

Wherever tech advancement, pace, and cash show up together, so does everyone who makes a living from things going wrong, which is broadly why @CertiK was there, working with teams on what they were actually putting into production.

But honestly, what stayed with me afterwards was how uneven the security conversation still is. Audits are known and teams know when they need one, but far fewer had thought carefully about the operational layer sitting underneath it.

Who holds the keys?

On what hardware, verified through which channel?

Who still has access after they've left the team?

Whats your IR plan?

and we see a gap there which needs more attention.

Most of the money that actually moved this year didn't go out through broken contracts. It went through stolen keys, credentials and compromised signing infrastructure, a much smaller set of incidents, each considerably more expensive.

The pattern has held for several years

If you're deploying something in the next few months, you know where I am at :)

On a side note: you can hate me for not liking Durian :))

Here is a timeline of the last month and a half, which culminated in Bankman-Fried’s arrest.

In light of another exchange meltdown, "Not your keys, Not your coins" is again relevant.

A really tragic day for the crypto industry as

A really tragic day for the crypto industry as FTX melts down in the most devastating way possible.

- Sam Bankman-Fried steps down, FTX files for bankruptcy
- FTX hacked for $400M after going bankrupt
