We’re proud to share that RapidCents has been named a 2025 CIO Awards Canada winner for our AI-powered decentralized finance system, DeFiSentinel.
Presented by IDC Canada and CIO, this award honours organizations that deliver transformative innovation through technology, and DeFiSentinel was built for exactly that.
The RapidCents Project
DeFiSentinel was built to solve one of the toughest challenges in decentralized finance: making it secure, compliant, and reliable in real time.
It helps platforms detect fraud as it happens, stay audit-ready, and run smoothly under pressure. These aren’t just claims; the system has shown strong, measurable results that help businesses protect their users and scale with confidence.
What made it stand out? DeFiSentinel brings together practical features and forward-thinking design to address real-world challenges in decentralized finance. It’s already proving useful in helping platforms operate more securely and responsibly, which aligns closely with the values celebrated by the CIO Awards Canada.
