What KresusLabs does

Kresus Labs is a blockchain infrastructure company founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, operating a dual-track model serving both consumer and enterprise markets. The consumer offering centers on the Kresus Wallet, a multi-chain self-custody wallet available across 63 countries on iOS and Android, supporting Bitcoin, Base, Solana, Sui, and World Chain (with Ethereum and Canton slated for Q2 2026). Differentiated features include seedless recovery (eliminating seed phrase management), Kresus Command AI for natural language Web3 interaction, $10,000 asset insurance for Pro subscribers, Earn yield features (5-30% APY), tokenized stocks trading on Solana, and a digital estate inheritance product. Consumer monetization is freemium with a $9.99/month Pro tier, supplemented by transaction/swap fees, reaching an installed base of 1M+ users and 185K+ mini-app users across Coinbase and Worldcoin ecosystem distribution channels.

The enterprise offering is built on a modular, API-first architecture spanning five core products: White-Label Wallet Infrastructure (deployable as embedded, web, or standalone app with custodial, non-custodial, or hybrid custody models), the KITE Tokenization Platform for RWA issuance and T+0 settlement, Stablecoin Settlement Infrastructure (partnered with Paxos), Custom Blockchain Development services, and Mini-App Development for major ecosystem partners. Enterprise clients include Christie's (blockchain-based digital ownership certificates for auction winners), Braintrust (white-label wallet for talent network), World (Worldcoin ecosystem mini-apps including Mint, Earn, Borrow, and Mini), and Coinbase (wallet and earning experiences), plus a strategic partnership with Hanwha Investment & Securities. Revenue from enterprise is generated through licensing, custom development fees, and integration services.

Kresus has raised approximately $38 million across two funding rounds: a $25 million Series A led by Liberty City Ventures in March 2023 (with participation from JetBlue Ventures, Craft Ventures, Franklin Templeton, Marc Benioff, and the Winklevoss twins), and a $13 million strategic investment from Hanwha Investment & Securities in February 2026. The company is led by founder and CEO Trevor Traina (serial entrepreneur with exits to Mastercard, Intuit, and Microsoft; former US Ambassador to Austria), CTO Omer Khan (16+ years engineering leadership at Apple, AT&T, Barclays), and Head of Partnerships Sean O'Neill (former Mastercard global entertainment sponsorships).
