CertiK Becomes Institutional Masternode Validator on XDC Network to Support Enterprise Blockchain Infrastructure

CertiK, a Web3 security services provider, has joined XDC Network as an Institutional Masternode Validator under a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organizations.

As part of the agreement, CertiK will deploy and operate validator nodes across the XDC Network using its enterprise-grade node solution, SkyNode. The collaboration is intended to strengthen the network's security, operational resilience, and decentralization, supporting infrastructure designed for enterprise blockchain applications, trade finance, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

Built for institutional settlement and tokenized assets, XDC Network combines a public blockchain with private subnet capabilities, enabling organizations to balance transparency with enterprise requirements. By operating as an Institutional Masternode Validator, CertiK will contribute security controls at the network infrastructure layer, helping reduce operational and network-related risks.

CertiK's SkyNode infrastructure is designed to provide around-the-clock protection through continuous vulnerability monitoring, automated threat mitigation, and node-level penetration testing. To meet XDC Network's operational requirements, the deployment also incorporates a multi-region sentry node architecture with redundant failover protection to help maintain network availability and consensus continuity during periods of high activity.

The collaboration reflects the continued convergence of traditional finance and digital assets, with both organizations focused on supporting infrastructure for institutional blockchain adoption. Their work will center on trade finance, asset tokenization, and broader institutional digital asset ecosystems.

CertiK joins a group of institutional validators on XDC Network that includes regulated financial institutions, global telecommunications companies, and digital asset organizations such as Animoca Brands, BCW Group, Blueprint, Clearpool, Credora, Deutsche Telekom, HashKeyCloud, Hivemind Digital Group, InvestaX, IXS, RedStone, Republic Crypto, SBI Holdings, StakeFi, and UOB Venture Management.
