Today, we are thrilled to introduce Kinto: the first KYC’ed L2 on Ethereum. As DeFi veterans, our mission is to move the global financial system onto a single, open, decentralized settlement layer: Ethereum. But, we also recognize our industry is missing a vital link with TradFi. Despite the incredible progress of DeFi, we've inadvertently built a system that is impossible for legacy financial institutions to adopt as infrastructure. No entity with stringent regulatory and compliance req...

Kinto is an L2 rollup designed to accelerate the transition to an on-chain financial system. It features permissionless KYC/AML and native account abstraction to solve the two biggest blockers to mainstream adoption: compliance and user experience. One of the main differences between Kinto and other L2 blockchains is its KYC functionality. In Kinto, this KYC requirement is enforced at the blockchain level. Users are asked to KYC before they can send txs or create contracts. However, That does...

Kinto is an Ethereum-based blockchain that has been designed from the ground up to provide a safe and compliant infrastructure for financial applications. Kinto requires all users to be KYC’ed to send a transaction. That does not mean Kinto is permissioned. Nobody can grant access to Kinto; only users themselves can get access by completing KYC. Kinto remains a permissionless, open, decentralized, and credibly neutral infrastructure. Our mission is to empower DeFi/fintech developers to unleas...

The next crypto cycle will be the RWA (Real World Asset) cycle. Back in 2019, after the ICO boom dissolved into an 80–90% crash in prices, legacy financial institutions had more or less written off crypto as a passing fad. The dream of replacing the clunky and byzantine infrastructure built up for legacy finance over the past 200 years for settlement, transfer, and compliance with sleek new crypto rails seemed largely dead. This time, in the 2022–23 bear market, traditional institutions have ...

Decentralization is the Default, Centralization is a CostAs Erik Voorhees is fond of saying “it’s faster to FedEx an anvil to Japan than send a wire there.” Despite the invention of the internet, wire transfers take about as much time as they did 100 years ago. Why? Technological improvements no longer speed up our financial system because its efficiency is not limited by technology. The financial system’s structure limits its efficiency. The reason for this inefficient structure is to mitiga...

The tokenization of real world assets on blockchain is quickly gaining traction as an innovative way to access liquidity, enable fractional ownership, and integrate traditional assets into decentralized finance (DeFi). But how exactly can you go about tokenizing assets like securities, commodities, real estate, and more on blockchain? In this post, we’ll provide a guide to minting securities on Ethereum or other blockchain networks covering the benefits, steps involved, and key considerations...
