Do you trust that tokenized assets are secure enough for mainstream financial markets?

On August 17, 2026, the Digital Asset Clearing Center disclosed the completion of a security audit for its ChainFusion platform. Conducted by CertiK, the review verified the integrity of smart-contract code intended for tokenized digital asset bonds.

Why it matters

Independent security verification provides the technical assurance required to scale institutional settlement infrastructure. This process supports the transition of bond issuance onto distributed ledger frameworks.

The audit examined access-control logic, role-based permissions, and privileged functions within the ChainFusion smart-contract code. CertiK performs these evaluations in compliance with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 security standards.

Digital Asset Clearing Center

The details

The audit utilized a procedural review of the ChainFusion platform to assess security-relevant components.
