CertiK Launches AI Skill Scanner, An Antivirus Software for the AI Age
New York, New York, May 27th, 2026, Chainwire
CertiK, a blockchain and AI security company, today announced the official launch of CertiK Skill Scanner, a new security solution designed to help secure the rapidly growing ecosystem of AI Agents and third-party AI Skills.
The product is built for AI Skill marketplaces, enterprises, developers, and eventually everyday users seeking greater visibility into the risks associated with third-party AI tools. CertiK said the platform is intended to help address growing concerns around hidden malicious behavior, unauthorized data access, and autonomous execution risks in AI environments.
“As AI Agents become more deeply integrated into financial systems, enterprise workflows, and everyday digital interactions, the security model around third-party Skills becomes critically important,” said Ronghui Gu, CEO and Co-Founder of CertiK. “CertiK Skill Scanner was built to establish a standardized trust layer before execution, helping users and platforms identify hidden risks before sensitive data, assets, or systems are exposed.”
Unlike generalized AI scanning tools, CertiK Skill Scanner is built to evaluate risks that can emerge during actual execution, including scenarios involving fund calls and financial transactions. The product is designed for use across both Web3 and traditional Web2 ecosystems.
AI Skill marketplaces can integrate CertiK Skill Scanner directly into publishing pipelines to automatically review Skills before they go live. Marketplaces may also display CertiK security verdicts as trust indicators for end users evaluating third-party Skills.
Enterprises can deploy the scanner as part of internal compliance and risk management workflows to assess third-party AI Skills before allowing them into production or internal environments.
Independent developers can use the scanner to self-audit Skills before publishing. Future product updates will expand direct access for everyday users, enabling individuals to scan Skills themselves before installation or use.
The scanner generates a scored assessment ranging from 0 to 100 alongside “pass,” “warn,” or “fail” verdicts and a bounded findings list categorized by severity. According to CertiK, the system achieves up to 90.5% precision in identifying security risks, helping reduce false positives while improving the reliability of AI Skill risk assessments.
The product has already been deployed within select Web3 AI Agent infrastructure environments. CertiK is also advancing integrations with additional AI Skill platforms, including FinChip.ai. “Trust is the prerequisite for any skill economy to function at scale. CertiK’s work on skill security verification is exactly what this ecosystem needs. It’s what makes FinChip’s mission of programmable skill ownership and distribution worth building,” said Gary Yang, Incubation Investor at FinChip.ai.
“AI applications are moving toward increasingly autonomous execution, which creates a new category of security and trust challenges,” Gu added. “We believe security infrastructure for the AI era must function proactively, not reactively. The goal is to make professional-grade security assessment accessible before execution occurs, whether for enterprises, developers, or everyday users.”
The launch follows CertiK’s broader expansion into AI-focused security infrastructure. Earlier this year, the company introduced its AI Auditor initiative as part of its effort to address emerging risks tied to autonomous systems and AI-driven execution environments.
