The agreement was signed by NEXUS CEO Henry Chang and CertiK CEO Ronghui Gu, starting a long-term partnership between the two firms. For NEXUS, which manages CROSS’s main features such as gaming services, a decentralized exchange, wallets, and creator tools, this comes at an important time.

CertiK’s Proven Track Record Bolsters NEXUS Ambitions
CertiK is a well-known name in Web3 security for checking smart contracts, spotting risks in real-time, and continuously monitoring blockchain activity. The platform has reviewed more than 5,000 projects and it helps protect around $600 billion worth of digital assets.
Well-known platforms such as Ethereum, Binance and Tether are also its well-known clients, and these big names show how important CertiK is within the industry.
According to the announcement, this partnership matches NEXUS’s goal of building strong security from day one. As the CROSS platform expands, using tools like SDKs, APIs, wallets and marketplaces, NEXUS needs solid protection so that it can avoid security problems in the future. This is even more important for the stablecoins, where safe payments and settlements are crucial.
Four Pillars of Collaboration
The MOU has been outlined across these four main points:
- Security and Smart Contract Auditing: The security platform will carry out audits at NEXUS and CROSS and will look at components such as payments, gaming, stablecoin contracts, making sure that there is scalable and transparent code.
- On-Chain Risk Monitoring: There will also be live monitoring of the blockchain and smart contracts, along with shared security insights so that users and systems can be protected before any problem arises.
- Compliance and Stablecoin Frameworks for Asia: There will also be custom regulatory checks and best practices for Asia-based stablecoins, making sure that they meet global rules for gaming payments and cross-border transactions.
- Business Development and Asia Expansion: There will be shared market plans, ecosystem growth, and partner outreach. CertiK is also considering a strategic investment in NEXUS to strengthen the partnership over the long term.
This setup makes CROSS reliable enough for enterprises and helps developers and global partners join more easily.
Boost for CROSS Ecosystem Growth
CROSS, supported by NEXUS’s team of more than 100 blockchain and gaming experts, benefits a lot from this partnership. With this partnership, it will improve its payment security, it will be able to build trust in the platform, and make sure that there is better compliance within the ecosystem. As Web3 gaming grows, these security measures become important and it puts CROSS in a strong position to expand.
Henry Chang, NEXUS CEO, explained the importance of this partnership and stated “Our collaboration with CertiK is a turning point for NEXUS. It allows us to secure global-level security standards while accelerating the expansion of our business and infrastructure. We’re committed to building systems that are not only innovative, but also resilient, transparent, and ready for the next decade of growth.”
CertiK’s Co-founder and CEO, Ronghui Gu, stated “As stablecoin and on-chain gaming continue to grow, the industry’s need for trustworthy security, clear governance, and strong compliance has never been more important. Our partnership with NEXUS is an important step toward advancing security standards across Web3.
