Key Takeaways
According to BlockchainReporter, CoinGecko has migrated its centralized exchange cybersecurity scores to Hacken's CORE3 across 166 platforms.
According to BlockchainReporter, crypto data aggregator CoinGecko has migrated the cybersecurity component of its Trust Score for centralized exchanges from CER.live to CORE3, the risk infrastructure layer developed by Hacken. The update covers 166 platforms, introducing advanced assessment for emerging risks while limiting score variations to a maximum of two percentage points. Users continue to view cybersecurity ratings alongside key indicators such as penetration testing, live bug bounty programs, and Proof of Reserves audits.
As of September 1, 2026, CORE3 evaluated risk data across 193 exchanges, revealing transparency gaps. Official data showed that 24 exchanges verified reserves, 53 presented penetration test results, and 99 operated live bug bounty programs. Only 10 exchanges met all three criteria, while 94 provided no evidence across the assessed components. CORE3 utilizes a Probability of Loss metric across Security, Solvency, and Transparency dimensions.
CoinGecko Co-founder and CEO Bobby Ong stated that integrating CORE3 strengthens cybersecurity assessment and provides a forward-looking view of emerging risks. Hacken CEO Dyma Budorin noted that expanding the methodology incorporates Solvency and Transparency as full categories alongside Security.
