Kinto (@KintoXYZ) — Twitter Score 68 out of 1000

Kinto was a defunct modular exchange and KYC-enabled Ethereum Layer 2 that combined a tailored blockchain with a non-custodial smart wallet for DeFi access. Kinto's Twitter Score is 68 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of July 2026, ranking #14,087 (top 5%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.

Kinto was co-founded by Ramon Recuero, Victor Sanchez, AJ Scaramucci, Alexander Klokus, and Alan Keegan. Built on the Arbitrum Nitro stack and settling transactions on Ethereum mainnet, the network embedded KYC, AML, and fraud monitoring at the blockchain level, restricting activity to verified participants. Kinto previously operated under the Kinto Foundation and was formerly associated with Mamori Labs.

Kinto raised a total of $7 million across three rounds, per its own disclosures. An initial $1.5 million pre-seed was led by Kyber Capital Crypto, followed by a $3.5 million round co-led by Kyber Capital Crypto, Spartan Group, and ParaFi, and a January 2024 round of $2 million at a $100 million valuation. Additional backers included SkyBridge, Kraynos, Soft Holdings, Deep Ventures, Modular Capital, Tane Labs, and Robot Ventures.

Kinto issued a KINTO governance token with an initial supply of 10,000,000 tokens. On July 10, 2025, the legacy K token proxy on Arbitrum was exploited, with 577 ETH stolen; the Layer 2, user wallets, and core infrastructure were reported unaffected. Following the exploit, Kinto raised $1 million in new debt to restore operations but cited fundraising difficulty and adverse market conditions as making continued operation impossible. Kinto created a replacement KINTO token, after which Kraken credited eligible users 1:1 from the exploit snapshot before disabling trading, deposits, and announcing the token's delisting. Kinto subsequently shut down operations, pulled decentralized-exchange liquidity, and instructed users to withdraw by September 30, dedicating remaining protocol assets of approximately $850,000 to repaying Phoenix creditors on a pro-rata basis.

Kinto has published 4,787 posts and has 142,722 followers as of July 2026. Kinto has been mentioned by 183 accounts a total of 437 times.
