Security Alliance (SEAL) is developing an open, collaborative certification program to help the crypto ecosystem define and demonstrate operational security maturity. Built on lessons learned from years of emergency incident response and threat intelligence sharing, SEAL Certifications distill collective knowledge into actionable standards developed openly with the community. For protocols, this means clear guidance to strengthen security posture and a credible way to signal trustworthiness to users, investors, and insurers. Currently in pilot with full rollout planned for 2026, this talk introduces the certification framework and how protocols and security firms can get involved. Presented by Isaac Patka, initiative lead.
