The world of digital asset management is witnessing a radical shift in self-custody as Kagami, an advanced self-custodial platform, collaborates with INTU leveraging dEOA accounts to revolutionize asset management.

This strategic partnership establishes an empowering framework for web3 CFOs, offering an advanced toolset that revolutionizes self-custody while maintaining seamless and secure operations.

As the digital asset space evolves and accumulates substantial value, the need for innovative solutions tackling security, risk management, and self-custody becomes increasingly apparent — that is where this partnership truly excels.

Innovations Enabled by Kagami and INTU Integration

Integrating INTU into Kagami’s platform unleashes many innovative possibilities for organizations managing digital assets.

By incorporating the decentralized account protocol, Kagami streamlines complex web3 asset management processes, facilitating self-sovereign key shares, role-based signature schemes, perpetual account recovery mechanisms, automated signing, and multi-chain support.

The fusion of Kagami and INTU redefines the self-custody experience, guaranteeing a secure and sophisticated approach.

Talking of the patnership, Max Radelius, Co-Founder of INTU said,

“We are incredibly excited to support Kagami in their mission, this is an excellent example of where the power of Intu Accounts facilitate and drive innovation”

The Uniqueness and Advantages of Kagami

Unlike conventional digital asset management platforms, Kagami adopts a risk-management-first strategy for self-custody. By leveraging the highly secure decentralized EOA accounts (dEOAs) offered by INTU, Kagami equips organizations with role-based treasury management, policy-driven risk controls, and customizable policies tailored to specific needs.

The platform aims to mitigate the challenges associated with centralized custodians, such as security lapses, unprofessional practices, and inadequate control mechanisms. The seamless integration of INTU and a user-friendly interface render managing digital assets a secure and straightforward process.

Furthermore, INTU’s technology, which is powering the accounts, is decentralized, secure, free from vendor risk, and is processed via calls to on-chain smart contracts. Thus, Kagami’s underlying account management tooling is not limited by centralized resources or vendor-specific layer-2s.

The New Wave of Self-Custody: A Paradigm Shift

Historically, organizations have been forced to compromise on self-custody due to the intricacies and risks associated with key management. Kagami and INTU herald a new era of self-custody, empowering organizations to strike the perfect balance between control and security.

With the progressive onboarding of dEOAs and transferable account ownership, INTU believes we are laying the groundwork for a self-sovereign, secure future in digital asset management.

Empowering Web3 CFOs with Advanced Tooling

Navigating the multifaceted challenges in blockchain-based financial operations requires web3 CFOs to possess a comprehensive risk management toolkit. Kagami fills this critical gap, providing a broad array of features to address key aspects of digital asset management, such as investment, compliance, custody, risk management, and regulatory technology integrations.

By offering an all-inclusive solution, Kagami ensures that web3 CFOs are equipped to manage their digital assets strategically and securely.

Transforming Digital Accounts into Dynamic Assets

The strategic alliance between Kagami and INTU initiates a paradigm shift in digital asset ownership. As dEOAs become unique assets that are transferable and increasingly dynamic, stakeholders reap the benefits of unparalleled flexibility and adaptability in the fast-paced world of decentralized finance.

Additionally, the integration of INTU and Kagami enables continuous evolution, accommodating the ever-changing requirements of businesses navigating the blockchain sphere and ushering in a secure and accessible self-custody landscape that does not compromise organizational control.

By arming web3 CFOs with a robust toolkit designed to counter the challenges of managing digital assets, we establish the foundation for a decentralized, flexible, and secure management ecosystem.

As the move toward self-custody increases, the demand for empowered self-custody and robust risk management solutions will prove indispensable. Kagami’s implementation of INTU showcases the potential to streamline and safeguard the digital asset management realm, heralding a progressive future.
