CertiK announced an $80 million funding round in December at a $1 billion valuation. The round, led by Sequoia Capital China, had been the company’s third round of financing within four months.

The timing of the latest funding round may be opportune. A $625 million exploit of Ronin, the network powering popular crypto game Axie Infinity, was disclosed earlier this week.
