Web3 Security Goes Boom: CertiK Sparks Chaos at Abu Dhabi Fintech Week

by

Apparently, trust, transparency, and resilience are the new black in web3 security. Who knew? CertiK’s own Jason Jiang dressed up in his finest keynote costume to spout about it at Abu Dhabi Fintech Week – because nothing screams excitement like talking about cyber theft and blockchain boosters, right? 🎉

On December 10, 2025, amidst the glittering financiers and tech nerds, CertiK strutted onto the stage, probably hoping no one’d ask about their security breaches. Jason Jiang, the big boss, rattled off about virtual asset regulations, fintech wizardry, and how the digital economy is basically a rollercoaster ride (hold on tight!).

This event? Oh, just the biggest fintech shindig in the Middle East, drawing everyone from bank regulators to Silicon Valley wannabes. No pressure, just the entire future of money hanging in the balance. 💸🤹‍♂️

Back on stage, Jiang showed some slides (probably filled with alarming stats) from CertiK’s 2025 report. Turns out, in the first half of the year, hackers managed to loot about $2.47 billion in shiny digital assets – wallets got robbed, phishing scams ran wild, the usual villainy. Yawn. 🥱

Not to be left empty-handed, Jiang introduced the trust, transparency, and resilience framework – because apparently, that’s the modern-day superhero costume for blockchain. He sprinkled some ‘practical experiences’ for us all to nod along and probably forget by tomorrow.

“It took traditional finance 450 years to be somewhat trustworthy,” Jiang said, breezily. “Blockchain’s only been around since 2009 – so, give us a couple more centuries, folks.” Then, with a wink, he declared CertiK’s confidence in the future: building trust, transparency, resilience – basically, the Holy Trinity of web3. We’re “ready,” he says. Buckle up, world. 🚀
