In the realm of blockchain security, CertiK has garnered high acclaim from The Open Network (TON) for its outstanding auditing capabilities and industry-leading formal verification technology, ranking first in TON’s list of recommended Security Assurance Providers (SAP). This not only highlights CertiK’s professional expertise in blockchain security but also underscores the affirmation of their long-standing collaboration.
This article will review the collaboration between CertiK and TON, outlining important milestones and key details to showcase how this partnership has continually propelled TON to new heights within 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 risk assessment. Through meticulous code reviews and formal verification, the CertiK team successfully identified and remedied several potential security vulnerabilities, ensuring the security and stability of the TON network.
In January 2023, CertiK and TON officially announced their partnership, marking not only an acknowledgment of CertiK’s audit work but also the beginning of deeper collaboration 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, safeguarding the overall system’s security and stability. During this period, CertiK summarized their experiences from auditing TON, composing the article “Secure Smart Contract Programming in FunC: Top 10 Tips for TON Developers,” offering a comprehensive guide for developers and a reliable reference 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 network’s speed.
The collaboration between CertiK and TON extends beyond technical and auditing aspects to include close community interaction. CertiK maintains active communication with the TON community, advancing project development together. In April 2024, CertiK released a case study showcasing TON’s achievements, illustrating how TON has set a new standard in blockchain technology with its global fastest blockchain speed, top-tier 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.
