Trust & security
Non-custodial by design
Kiip provides technology, not custody. Your funds stay in contracts you control. Built on audited infrastructure and regulated partners so your compliance team, your auditors, and your customers can all sign off.
What protects you when you use Kiip
Six things enterprise procurement teams ask about - and how Kiip answers each.
Non-custodial architecture
Customer funds sit in Safe smart accounts that clients control. Every movement requires a client signature. Kiip provides infrastructure, not custody.
Passkey-secured wallets
Wallets are secured by passkeys using the Safe passkey module. No seed phrases to lose, no passwords to phish, and no custodial recovery path that an attacker can social-engineer.
Audited infrastructure
Built on Safe Smart Accounts - independently audited by leading security firms and used across global institutions. See Safe's public audit record.
Regulated partner ecosystem
All fiat rails run through licensed institutions: Coinbase, Monerium, Transak, and Mt. Pelerin. Each is directly regulated in the jurisdictions they serve.
MiCA-compliant stablecoins
Kiip only supports stablecoins that meet MiCA in Europe and align with the GENIUS Act framework in the US. Fully backed, transparently reported, licensed issuers.
Global without jurisdictional gaps
Technology-only classification lets Kiip operate worldwide while customer-facing financial services are delivered by regulated partners where applicable.
How the non-custodial flow works
Kiip translates your transaction intent into blockchain executable actions. You sign them with your passkey. Funds move directly from a smart account you control - Kiip is never in the money path.
