What is Kintsu

Our mission at Kintsu is to drive the next phase of decentralized finance, starting by developing liquid staked token (LST) protocols across zk-blockchain networks. Summarized well in his post titled, The Three Transitions, Vitalik talks about how blockchain will need to evolve to have trustless scalability, privacy, and a better user experience if we are going to achieve the lofty goals that make up the web3 movement as a whole.

We build core infrastructure. With a strong focus on building, monetizing, and decentralizing open-source infrastructure, we are able to maximize our impact and continue doing the work we've set out to do.

At Kintsu, our vision is to provide innovative solutions that enable users to seamlessly unlock the value of their staked assets and empower them to freely navigate between diverse blockchain networks, to access a wide range of DeFi applications, services, and opportunities. By expanding the reach of Liquid Staked Tokens and pioneering its interoperability, we envision a world where users can unlock the full potential of decentralized finance, fostering financial empowerment and inclusion on a global scale.
