About

Kinto is an L2 focused on providing safe access to on-chain finance. It's built on top of the Ethereum network using the Arbitrum Nitro Stack, and it's non-custodial, transparent, permissionless, and governed by the community.

Kinto is fully EVM-compatible but Kinto has two idiosyncratic differences that you need to understand. The first one is that Kinto has User-Owned KYC, meaning every user needs to be verified before sending any transaction. The second one is that Kinto has native Account Abstraction, meaning that users are forced to have a smart wallet instead of plain EOAs and users do not have to worry about or pay gas.

Benefits of Building on Kinto include:

  • Free KYC, KYT and AML. You get all this compliance tooling out of the box.
  • Sybil resistance.
  • Better UI/UX through Account Abstractions.
  • Higher level of security through Hypernative and Ironblocks.
  • Insurance Policy to all Kinto users.
  • Mining rewards for developers based on the usage and TVL of their applications.
