【27 Sep, 2023, Hong Kong 】Sinohope Technology Holdings Limited (stock code: 1611.HK, "SINOHOPE"), a comprehensive digital asset custody platform, and CertiK, a leading player in blockchain security, today announced a strategic partnership uniting the two companies.

SINOHOPE will provide CertiK with a virtual asset custody verification interface to verify whether the project adopts an asset custody solution, thereby verifying the project's centralization risk at the asset management level. Through this cooperation, both parties are committed to jointly promoting secure and transparent asset custody solutions, minimizing centralization risks in the private key management process, ensuring the security of user assets, and promoting the safe and healthy development of the Web3 industry. The two parties will also cooperate on providing secure and trustless custody solutions for crypto exchanges and institutions applying for Hong Kong VASP licenses.

In addition, SINOHOPE and CertiK plan to extend their collaboration through SINOHOPE's forthcoming "Web3 Open Platform." This platform will offer a suite of services, including data security, risk management, virtual asset financial management, and Wallet as a Service (WaaS). The objective is to address the diverse needs of Web3 projects, while standardizing trustless and secure custody procedures within the Web3 industry.

SINOHOPE's proprietary Multi-Party Computation (MPC) custody services are grounded in the latest MPC-CMP protocol. Utilizing a 3-3 multi-party signature scheme, the system requires tripartite participation to finalize transaction signatures. This setup significantly minimizes single-point vulnerabilities, thereby ensuring a high level of asset security.

Andrew Zhang, CTO of SINOHOPE, said: “Security incidents have occurred frequently in the Web3 field in the past two years. Ordinary software wallets face multiple risks such as private key leaks, internal evil, and force majeure in the physical world. MPC self-custody technology can better realize trustless management of virtual assets. The powerful combination of SINOHOPE and CertiK can effectively protect the security of user assets and establish asset security standards in the industry. At the same time, we welcome cooperation with more security institutions to jointly promote  the positive development of the Web3 ecosystem.”

Jason Jiang, Chief Business Officer of CertiK, said: "We are very pleased to reach a strategic partnership with SINOHOPE. CertiK's mission is to enhance the security and transparency of the blockchain industry, and this partnership will help us jointly advance the safe and healthy development of the Web3 industry. We look forward to providing users with safer and more trustworthy virtual asset management solutions through this cooperation and setting a benchmark for the entire industry."
