What Intotheblock does

Sentora is an institutional-grade DeFi platform formed in May 2025 from the merger of IntoTheBlock (a 2018-founded crypto intelligence and on-chain analytics company) with Trident Digital. Headquartered in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, with a Miami presence, Sentora combines strategy design, risk management, and capital protection into a unified platform for deploying institutional capital across DeFi markets. The company is led by co-founder, CEO and CTO Jesus Rodriguez alongside co-founder Leonard Boord, and operates with 11–50 employees. A $25 million Series A led by New Form Capital closed concurrent with the merger.

The platform's product surface centers on three core modules — DeFi Strategies, Risk Management (powered by 1,000+ risk models), and DeFi Cover — extended through solution offerings including Sentora Smart Yield (institutional vault management), Stablecoin Adoption, Risk Curation, and Tokenized Equity Yield. Sentora reports $2 billion allocated across strategies and 300+ strategies shaped across multiple market cycles. Named enterprise engagements include EtherFi ($1.4 billion TVL breakthrough, described as the largest DeFi vault in crypto), a $100 million ETH on-chain Aave loan, and a $700 million net new PYUSD stablecoin initiative with Paxos, PayPal, and Solana. Marketing and distribution run through direct enterprise sales, a self-service vault portal (vaults.sentora.com), and content-led research published on Medium and an email newsletter.

Revenue is generated through institutional platform services (subscription/recurring) and managed-services fees tied to Smart Yield vault capital allocation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, with no public ticker. The registered legal entity is Sentora, domiciled in the British Virgin Islands; the legacy IntoTheBlock brand is retained only as a historical reference and was previously associated with the Bitcoin BEAM market cycle indicator and on-chain analytics research.
