Triton’s Next Pick: Qredo
Meet Qredo, the world’s most advance, institutional grade secure Qredo Wallet that offers a safe and secure trading in crypto assets. In this report herein, we aim to share with our audience on the motivations behind our recent investments in Qredo.
Introduction
The recent 2020–2021 marked the advent of institutions into the cryptocurrency world. Back in 2017, this would have been phenomenal. Now, it is a dime a dozen, almost every company wants to hold Bitcoin et al. in order to gain some exposure to this new asset class. Corporate treasuries including Microstrategy and Tesla now hold billions of dollars in Bitcoin on their balance sheets. ETFs are multiplying in Canada, Europe and even South America. Greyscale manages over $20 billion in BTC. And this is just what’s known to the general public.
As fiduciaries who are legally responsible for the client’s hard earned money, they must demonstrate that they have secured their assets under proper and safe custody. In crypto, this means that they have total control over the private keys. If they are stolen, all of the assets are compromised. Case-in-point: Mt. Gox, Cryptsy, Bitstamp, etc.
The use and care of private keys are then fraught with risks, even for the power-users of crypto.
The solution seems easy right? Why don’t we jut use DEXes?
How we wish it was that simple too.
A big hurdle to a more widespread decentralized trading is the difficulty and costs of cross-chain swaps. Whilst swapping BTC to ETH on Binance might be a breeze, it remains a nightmare (in terms of cost, time, effort) at any DEXes. As a result, this remains one of the biggest pain point of the crypto industry. If we let the management of private keys to centralized institutions, are we in the end truly decentralized? As you can see, it’s a forever never ending debate.
Technology/ Product
This is where Qredo comes in. Born back in Q4 2018 during the crypto winter season, Qredo closed a whopping $ 2.9 million pre-seed funding round. A fully decentralized custodian protocol, it addresses all of the problems cited above, by :
Decentralizing delegation of cryptocurrency asset management
By replacing centralized private keys with a consensus-driven MPC protocol, Qredo enables the transfer of portable ownership rights across chains on a Layer 2 network, without counterparty risk.
This creates the ideal trading conditions for institutions, which can delegate capital to multiple exchanges from a single pool of collateral held in their Qredo wallet, map asset controls and custodianship to organizational requirements, and record all activity on-chain in immutable regulatory audit trails for easy compliance.
Proposing lower-cost transactions by encouraging more assets to live on their blockchain
In short, they do this by simply transfering any blockchain asset between one another using their own stand-alone fork of the Tendermint blockchain. #thenetworkisthevault
