Following the successful launch of Skynet Security Scores for 10,000+ Web3 projects, CertiK is excited to unveil two new specialized rating models: Pre-Launch Rating and Non-Token Rating.

We've recognized the increasing number of Web3 projects that either haven't been officially released or function without a native token. To address the unique security assessment needs of these projects, we've designed the following new rating models.

Pre-Launch Rating

This rating system is specifically for Web3 projects that haven't yet officially launched. Just as with our standard scoring system, the Pre-Launch Rating evaluates the security posture of these projects using the available data. However, given their early stage of development, the Pre-Launch Score omits Security Signals related to Market Stability and Governance Strength, as they don’t align with the security assessments for pre-launch projects.

Non-Token Rating

Many Web3 projects operate without a native token and some have no plans to launch one. The Non-Token Rating is an adaptation of our standard Security Score, tailored to these tokenless projects. Similar to the Pre-Launch Rating, the Non-Token Rating excludes Security Signals related to Market Stability and Governance Strength, ensuring a more relevant security assessment.

As with our original Security Score, both new ratings aggregate sub-scores from various signals. Although token-related metrics will change, categories such as Code Security, Fundamental Health, Community Trust, and Operational Resilience, remain consistent.

The division of signals into Manual and Automatic is consistent as well. Our team of research analysts and security experts continuously assesses the landscape and the projects, offering up-to-date and objective insights, while our software and monitoring systems provide real-time evaluations.

These new rating models underscore CertiK’s commitment to adapting the Skynet Security Score to the evolving Web3 ecosystem and its stakeholders. By introducing these specialized ratings, we aim to further empower project teams and potential users, ensuring a more secure and robust environment for all.
