A next-gen settlement & transfers platform to make trading on cryptocurrency exchanges easier and safer.

Cryptocurrency investing is still prohibitively risky.

The web3 industry has created a multi-trillion dollar asset class that has minted nearly 5% of all unicorn startups over the last two years (CB Insights). There have been in-roads made with proof of concepts by major financial institutions, but many traditional markets participants have still yet to do substantial business.

How can that be? What is holding the industry back? The cryptocurrency market is a fragmented network that’s presents a challenge to traditional financial institutions to navigate. Even the simplest platforms require a high degree of sophisticated from their users. The result? Visibility into your holdings is limited, financial controls are bespoke and insufficient, and there are security risks are lurking around every corner. Ultimately, most mistakes are irreversible.

There are endless ways for market participants to get robbed or burned such as:

• Mistype a wallet address
• Send a cryptocurrency to the *right* address on the *wrong* blockchain
• Misspell the URL for (https://coinbase.com) and accidentally log into a copycat site
• Mistakenly authenticate a hostile application to control your wallet

While the future of cryptocurrency is undoubtedly bright, promises of financial sovereignty, trustless financial services, and eliminating global barriers are ultimately empty without critical gaps being filled with better, more thoughtfully constructed technology.
