Kresko’s mission is to make wealth accessible to anyone, anywhere.
The Kresko platform helps people buy inaccessible financial assets like US stocks in underserved emerging markets.
At a high level, the team is developing a new synthetic asset protocol that allows for trading on assets such as stocks & commodities based on an external oracle price. By focusing on how to improve UX in defi, Kresko is trying to help the retail investor better understand their risk and positions.
For those of you that are more technical and want to understand the difference between Kresko and existing synthetic asset solutions, it really comes down to:
Single CDP (collateralized debt position) per account model - users only need to manage one CDP for deposits and withdrawals
Capital efficiency - collateral is shared between multiple debt positions
You can check out the whitepaper here for more details - it was just published two days ago. Congrats to the team on this huge milestone!
