Unlocking Financial Innovation with Kinto and Helping Students Build Compliant Onchain Applications

At College DAO, we're committed to empowering the next generation of blockchain innovators. Our latest partnership with Kinto, a groundbreaking KYC'ed Layer 2 network on Ethereum, is next on our radar and we're excited to unlock unprecedented opportunities for our students to build secure, compliant, and innovative financial applications on-chain.

Why This Partnership Matters & Why we're excited about Kinto

The financial world is transforming, and students at the forefront of this change need the right tools and environment to thrive and contribute. Building is only one part of launching a Web3 application; understanding regulatory frameworks and ensuring security are crucial for success and compliance.

This is where Kinto comes in. They offer a secure, compliant platform that bridges the gap between DeFi and traditional finance whilst ensuring continuous verification that all participants comply with OFAC regulations, creating a secure environment for building applications.

Within this environment, we envision our students being able to learn and grow across a wide spectrum:

• Gain practical experience in building on-chain financial applications within a regulatory-compliant environment

• Understand and navigate the complexities of financial regulations pertaining to digital assets

• Develop innovative solutions that can seamlessly integrate with both DeFi and traditional financial systems, with a focus on solving critical challenges like UX and fragmentation

Note: If you are looking to get a basic grasp of how they accomplish this, we recommend our introduction tweet here where we dive into the magic of Kinto and explore their technology a bit deeper.
