On April 17, Korea's well-known technology media (Korea IT Times) published an exclusive interview with Professor Gu Ronghui, co-founder and CEO of CertiK. The two sides engaged in an in-depth dialogue regarding the iteration of hacker attack methods and the innovative paths of security defense technologies, focusing on CertiK's Q1 (HACK3D) security report.
Gu Ronghui believes that security should be regarded as a foundational principle, not a remedial measure after the fact, and should be integrated into the overall strategy from the outset of a project. 'A proactive strategy of 'security first' is crucial for building trustworthy Web3.0 applications.' Specifically, he advocates the proactive use of cutting-edge technologies such as formal verification, zero-knowledge proofs, and multi-party computation to comprehensively enhance the protective capabilities of blockchain protocols and smart contracts. This is also the original intention and vision behind the founding of CertiK, which is to make the Web3.0 world more secure and trustworthy through rigorous formal verification technology.
