CertiK Bags Top Prize at SiGMA AIBC – Crypto World Rejoices!

by

In a turn of events that surprised absolutely no one, CertiK, the self-proclaimed guardians of Web3, have been handed the “Best Security and Compliance Solution 2026” award at the SiGMA AIBC Eurasia Awards. Because, let’s face it, when you’re the only ones shouting about crypto safety, someone’s bound to give you a trophy.

  • CertiK crowned “Best Security & Compliance Solution 2026” at SiGMA AIBC – presumably for keeping the crypto wolves at bay.
  • They’ve set up camp in Abu Dhabi, offering “institutional-grade” security – because nothing says ‘we mean business’ like a desert outpost.
  • Teamed up with ADGM regulators to unleash Skynet – no, not the Terminator one, just a security platform. Probably.

On a day that will forever be remembered as “That Time CertiK Got an Award,” the web3 security firm was honored at the SiGMA AIBC Eurasia Awards on February 10, 2026. The award, a shiny reminder that compliance is cool, was bestowed upon them for their tireless efforts in making crypto slightly less of a wild west.

The SiGMA AIBC Eurasia Awards, a glittering affair where tech buzzwords are thrown around like confetti, celebrated CertiK’s contributions to areas like AI, blockchain, and web3. Because, apparently, saving the digital world from itself is award-worthy.

Other winners included Crypto.com, OKX Wallet, Avalanche, and Cointelegraph – proving that the crypto world is still very much a “look at me!” parade.

CertiK’s win comes hot on the heels of their Middle Eastern expansion, where they’ve planted their flag in Abu Dhabi. In 2025, they decided the desert needed more security experts, so they launched a recruitment drive. Because, you know, sand and servers go together like thieves and cryptocurrency.

Their new focus? “Institutional-level” security. Because banks, sovereign wealth funds, and multinational corporations apparently need a security blanket too. CertiK promises to wrap them in a “tight defense matrix” – which sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi novel but is probably just a lot of firewalls.

Since setting up shop in Abu Dhabi, CertiK has cozied up to local regulators, joined roundtable discussions (where they likely brought their own chairs), and offered their Skynet platform to keep an eye on virtual assets. Because nothing says “we’re serious” like naming your platform after a fictional AI that tried to end humanity.

According to CertiK, Skynet helps regulators predict the impact of “abnormal events” – like, say, a crypto crash or a hacker with too much free time. Because in the digital economy, the only thing more certain than taxes is chaos.
