Creed Ceremony #1 August 27th, 2025

On August 27th, 2025 Creed held our first-ever Ceremony. We went over our present standing and shared our view of the future with our community. Check out an overview of what took place below:

 August Security Reviews:

  • Completed security review for @Spire_Labs

  • Currently working on BitYield audit

  • Growing pipeline of reviews scheduled for coming weeks

  August Risk Assessments:

  • Completed assessment for @lagoon_finance

  • .@GetYieldFi assessment is in progress

  • Working on AI tooling to optimize the risk assessment review process while maintaining quality

 Business Development:

  • We have a few big ecosystem-level protocols in the pipeline (names coming soon! )

  • Building specialized sub-teams for different ecosystems/stacks

  • Looking beyond traditional BD toward productization opportunities

 Governance Milestones:

  • Welcomed first external Paladins: @lizdaldalian, .@33audits, .@tintinweb, and @t_birb

  • Diligence joined as a company Paladin (entities can be Paladins too!)

  • First treasury proposal passed (legal retainer funding)

Two-Tier Governance:

  • Paladin proposals: One person, one vote (for system changes)

  • Treasury proposals: Coin voting with CREED tokens (for financial decisions)

  • We are building true cooperative governance in Web3

 Treasury Share Redemption:

  • New guidelines + web app for exiting Creed treasury shares

  • Immediate exit: 15% tax (discourages instability)

  • Annual window: 1.5% fee only (covers operational costs)

  • Flexibility with collective stability

 The Creed Difference:

  • Security Researchers have real say in how things work & 50/50 split revenue model between researchers for treasury for all client fees

  • We are building in public, figuring it out together

  • We equity positions like SAFEs, convertible notes, traditional equity vehicles

 Looking for:

  • New marketing agency (DMs open!)

  • Security researchers (Paladins) who want ownership in their work

  • Protocols needing security teams (not just one-off audits)

  • Companies wanting to join as Paladins
