karpatkey secures $7M in funding to expand its DAO treasury management solutions and reach traditional financial institutions, supported by top investors like Joe Lubin and Stani Kulechov.

By 2019, the core primitives necessary for decentralised financial markets, including lending protocols, decentralised exchanges, and stablecoins, were already in place on Ethereum. Five years later, with a brutal bear market behind us, the DAOs that created DeFi have improved their cost discipline, have greater insights into security and risk management, and streamlined their governance processes. They have secured their dominant market positions through proven performance and are mature enough to maintain that dominance.

karpatkey’s infrastructure has set the stage for a future where asset management is transparent, secure, efficient—and most importantly—non-custodial and trust-minimised.

MakerDAO's recent decision to hike the DAI Savings Rate (DSR) to 3.49% is setting out to redefine the "risk-free interest rate" in the DeFi space.

Values play a critical role in shaping the vision and identity of an organisation. As karpatkey enters a new chapter, we deeply reflected on the traits that brought us here.

We think that the global economic system will eventually be run on top of DeFi.

In any economic environment, one considers the risk that others might unfairly exploit informational asymmetries to their advantage. There is thus the need to invest resources to assess their trustworthiness.
