They perform audits of crypto projects. The idea is that you’re certifying that the code is not going to immediately steal people’s money.

Quite a few of their clients have gone on to do that with relatively simple vulnerabilities. To the point where “certik audit” is a meme about not providing any actual assurances (and thus implying they are incompetent).

There also was the story a month or two ago where they actually took funds from a bug bounty target and eventually did give it back: https://blockworks.co/news/krakens-cso-confirms-certik-retur...
