Your trusted partner

Our institutional-grade services are designed to help you navigate the complexities of the digital asset ecosystem with confidence, providing a secure gateway to the market. We offer the highest level of security and regulatory compliance, ensuring that your assets are always protected.

At Komainu, assets are fully segregated on-chain to create an insolvency-remote trust structure.

This means:

- We segregate our assets from client assets

- We segregate client assets from other clients’ assets

- We keep client assets off-balance sheet

- We don’t re-hypothecate or have any discretion to “manage” client assets

- We have clearly set this out in our custody agreement and modelled our operational practices around this
