Founder @Kintsu - Building systems around credit, yield, staking, execution & capital formation for institutional finance on @CantonNetwork @Monad
Videos
Almost three and a half years ago we started Kintsu with a pretty simple belief: moving finance onchain shouldn’t mean giving up privacy. Your brokerage account isn’t public today. There’s no reason it should become public just because stocks, treasuries, and other assets become programmable smart contracts. We started with liquid staking. Since then, the vision for Kintsu has grown into something much broader: composable privacy-preserving lending, curated vaults, staking, spanning both crypto and capital markets. That’s what makes Canton Network so interesting to me. For the first time, major asset issuers across equities, treasuries, stablecoins, and crypto are beginning to coalesce onchain, with privacy built into the architecture. We put together this visual to show how it all fits together in Kintsu. Composability, visualized. Any asset, its own market. Any strategy, its own vault. Probably the clearest look yet at what we’ve spent much of 2026 building. Soon we'll open up a private beta, couldn't be a better time to get involved.

As we approach Monad mainnet, it’s worth understanding how Liquid Staking Protocols actually work, beyond just minting an LST. In this video, I'll walk you 🫵 through the architecture behind Kintsu, including: - How staking $MON into $sMON ("Staked MON") is like owning a share of a growing staking pool, unlocking massive amounts of otherwise idle composable liquidity from the base layer - How compounding happens automatically as validators earn rewards for processing transactions & securing the network - How unstaking sMON works with unbonding requests, batching and claiming back you MON - How the Kintsu Validator Registry evolves over time, not just from inflows/outflows, but through DAO-driven updates and algorithmic routing This is the foundation behind sMON, the most powerful DeFi money lego native to Monad. If you're planning to be active in Monad DeFi as a power user, buildoooor or validator on Monad, the mechanics matter. Education matters, especially in DeFi. Please feel free to ask away with any questions, that is what we're here for. 5 days till Mainnet. Get ready!
