These days, with virtual coins integrating deeper in our everyday lives, companies start working to take Blockchain security to a new level.

NEO + CertiK = potentially better security

Aug. 1st NEO platform publicly stated its teamwork with CertiK. That is a platform dealing with smart contract and DLT-system safety. CertiK intends to assist NEO with validating their contracts and also will give them tailor-made software for confirming transactions with NEO’s virtual coins.

The CertiK team uses a special algorithm to ensure that a software follows the necessary demands. Their formal validation ensures, through mathematics, that there are no bugs in electronic contracts and distributed ledger systems and that they are strong against malicious attacks.
