Case Study: Kinto achieves compliant, scalable modular exchange growth with Caldera

Kinto - Customer Case Study

Kinto aimed to create a secure, compliant financial platform that could merge the best features of decentralized and traditional finance, moving beyond the limitations and risks of both centralized and decentralized exchanges. To build this pioneering Modular Exchange (MEX), they partnered with the vendor Caldera, leveraging its customizable rollup infrastructure to power their Ethereum Layer 2.

Caldera provided the foundational technology for Kinto's appchain, enabling features like gasless transactions and mandatory chain-level KYC for compliance. This solution allowed Kinto to integrate leading DeFi protocols and offer services like perpetual trading and tokenized real-world assets. The results were significant, with Caldera helping Kinto grow to over 1.5 million total transactions and attract over 150,000 unique wallet addresses, achieving a total value locked of over $34 million.
