About Kredo

Kredo — An IntroductionFor centuries, banking has revolved around a single, unquestioned assumption:to spend money, you must first hold it.Accounts, balances, wallets, and custody have shaped how financial systems are designed, regulated, and experienced. Even as blockchains removed intermediaries and replaced banks with smart contracts, the underlying mental model remained unchanged. Wallets became accounts. Addresses became identities. Balances became public state.Kredo begins by rejecting that assumption entirely.Kredo is a financial system where users never hold money, never manage balances, and never appear on-chain as persistent financial entities. There are no wallets to secure, no addresses to expose, and no accounts to open or maintain. Instead, Kredo introduces a radically different primitive: cryptographic permission.
