Market uncertainty often triggers users’ biggest fear: “What happens if I lose my key?” This is where Kresus comes in. Thanks to biometric data and a fragmented key system, you can always access your assets even if you forget your password. This system combines the security of traditional banking with the freedom of blockchain.
Kresus is a self-custody mobile wallet built on the Base and Solana networks, designed to combine the highest yield opportunities with the highest security. It gives users full control over their digital assets while merging the convenience of centralized exchanges with the freedom of DeFi. It is designed for users who want to enter the blockchain world without dealing with complex wallet structures.
With ERC-4337 technology and Account Abstraction, Kresus enables more flexible transactions without gas fee concerns. It provides hardware-level security without requiring a physical device, ensuring your assets remain secure at all times.
The application is currently available only on mobile platforms: iOS and Android.

Security and How It Works
Kresus is designed to protect users, even from themselves. When the app is installed, a smart wallet is automatically created in the background using the ERC-4337 standard. Your private keys are not stored directly on your phone but are isolated within a secure hardware module. Transactions are approved using biometric authentication and two-factor authentication (2FA), ensuring access to your assets even if you forget your password.
There is no need for a seed phrase; access is enabled through phone verification and biometric security. This structure transforms the concept of “be your own bank” into “have the comfort of your own bank.”
What Problems Does Kresus Solve?
Kresus makes on-chain finance as easy and secure as centralized exchanges while maintaining full user control over assets. Self-custody wallets are often complex or lack sufficient security; Kresus addresses this gap.
- Smart Money Insights: Successful trader activity on Base and Solana is analyzed to provide users with decision-supporting insights. This feature is free.
- Coinbase Integration: Users can easily transfer existing exchange assets into Kresus.
- Free Transactions: New users receive 35 free transactions on Base and Solana.
- Mini Apps (PWA): Secure and seamless access to dApps directly within the wallet.
- Kresus Domain: Provides user-friendly crypto addresses, eliminating long and complex wallet addresses.
Yield Strategies and “Copy the Pros”
Features that make Kresus more than just a storage wallet:
Automatic Compounding Yield (Earn): Offers up to 46% APY on assets such as BTC, SOL, and USDC through Solana Jupiter strategies (market volatility may affect these rates).
Copy the Pros: Enables users to track and replicate historically profitable wallets in real time.
MiniApps & World Platform: Users can stake WLD to earn variable APY between 25% and 200%, along with daily $MINI rewards.
Kresus Ecosystem and Roadmap
Kresus holds a strong position within the Base and Solana ecosystems. Users experience centralized exchange-level security combined with DeFi-level yield opportunities. Although there is no fully detailed public roadmap, known developments and investments indicate the following trajectory:
2023–2025: Launch of the consumer-focused mobile wallet, insurance integration ($10K coverage in Pro plan), Base and Solana support, Pro subscription ($9.99/month), Coinbase and Jupiter integrations. Partnerships established with World MiniApps, Sotheby’s Metaverse, and Unstoppable Domains.
Late 2025: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed with Hanwha Investment & Securities, announced during Abu Dhabi Finance Week.
2026 and beyond: A $13 million strategic investment from Hanwha will support the development and deployment of enterprise-grade digital wallet infrastructure globally. The Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization platform is planned to expand, enabling tokenized funds, bonds, and traditional financial instruments. Institutional integrations will improve on-chain financial workflows, and new global partnerships will be formed. MPC security, seedless recovery, and tokenization tools will be adapted to institutional standards.
In the near term, Kresus aims to expand AI integrations, grow its mini-app ecosystem, and enhance user experience through premium Kresus domains. This information is based on Hanwha investment announcements, CoinDesk and Ventureburn reports, and official X posts.
