Our story
Inkryptus was founded in 2020 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, by Pierre Perreira and Lucas Marcelino, two entrepreneurs with over a decade in the crypto market. In 2016 they launched AllCoinWallet, one of the first cryptocurrency exchanges in Brazil. Before Inkryptus they worked with exchanges, P2P operations and investment automation platforms, back when Bitcoin was still a niche subject.
One thing became clear early on: DeFi had real power. On-chain staking, public smart contracts, transparent emission, verifiable transactions. But reaching any of it required wallets, seed phrases, protocol connections and a level of technical knowledge most people simply did not have. The technology was there. The access was not.
Traditional platforms solved the access problem and kept everything behind closed doors, so users had no visibility into how their funds were managed. DeFi solved the transparency problem and demanded technical fluency. Neither side served the person who just wanted to invest and check.
Inkryptus was built to connect both. A hybrid platform that gives the simplicity of an ordinary app with the transparency of DeFi infrastructure underneath: wallet, staking, swap and games in one simplified-custody app, running on public smart contracts on BNB Smart Chain. The user sees a clean interface. The blockchain records every operation.
We have been building this model since 2020, before hybrid finance was a category. All it takes is a smartphone.
Inkryptus was born in Belo Horizonte. Today its operations run primarily out of East Africa, with offices in Kenya and Tanzania. Those are markets where a smartphone is often the only financial infrastructure someone has, and where the access problem the company was built to solve is widest. The company moved to where the need was greatest. Its strategic headquarters is in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
