The protocol pools MON, Monad's gas token, through a DAO-controlled validator registry to produce sMON, a liquid staking token usable across DeFi.

Kintsu went live on Monad mainnet from the genesis block, and its Kintsu Points Program governs the initial distribution of the KSU token.

The protocol's smart contracts have been audited by Spearbit and Nethermind Security. Kintsu is backed by Spartan, Animoca Ventures, Arche Capital, Castle Island Ventures, CMS, CMT Digital, LBank Labs, Reciprocal Ventures, and Purechain Capital.
