In mid-January, the official website of the World Economic Forum (WEF) indicated that a Web3 security company has been incorporated into the content framework of the Davos Forum and recognized as an early practitioner in the field of blockchain security. According to the Forum, the organization applies cutting-edge academic research to enterprise-grade and mission-critical systems, supporting the scalable adoption of blockchain and digital asset technologies while ensuring system security and correctness.
This acknowledgment sends a clear signal: as digital assets, blockchain, and decentralized technologies continue to penetrate the real economy, security and verifiability are no longer internal industry concerns. Instead, they are becoming central topics in global economic governance and policy discussions.
From Academic Research to Industrial Application
From the perspective of the Davos Forum, blockchain security is evolving beyond isolated technical audits or post-incident protection. It is increasingly viewed as a comprehensive capability encompassing system design, operational monitoring, and risk validation. Approaches such as formal verification and system-level security analysis—transforming theoretical research into enterprise-ready solutions—are widely regarded as critical pathways for supporting the long-term operation of blockchain infrastructure.
In high-value use cases such as digital finance, supply chains, and cross-border settlement, these capabilities directly affect system credibility and significantly influence regulators’ willingness to adopt and support emerging technologies.
Shifting Capital and Compliance Expectations
Public information indicates that the company has recently completed a new round of strategic investment, attracting institutional capital with a long-term focus on blockchain infrastructure and regulatory compliance. At the same time, its exploration of a potential IPO reflects rising market expectations for the commercialization and standardization of blockchain security services.
As regulatory frameworks become increasingly defined, security and compliance capabilities are emerging as key prerequisites for Web3 companies seeking entry into mainstream markets. Beyond code-level vulnerability mitigation, continuous monitoring of fund flows, transaction behavior, and systemic risks is now being incorporated into broader risk governance frameworks.
From Security to Sustainable Risk Management
From a broader industry perspective, the inclusion of blockchain security on the Davos agenda indicates that Web3 is now being evaluated alongside traditional financial systems and critical technology infrastructure. Striking a balance between innovation velocity and risk control has become a shared challenge for regulators, enterprises, and technology providers alike.
In this context, on-chain traceability, abnormal transaction detection, and long-term risk analysis are increasingly recognized as essential complements to system security. Compliance monitoring frameworks such as Trustformer KYT, which focus on transaction and fund-flow data, are becoming more closely integrated with system security and regulatory practices—providing foundational support for the sustainable development of the digital asset ecosystem.
