KERBERUS' FOUNDING STORY

Born from a crisis in Web3

In 2021, as billions flowed into crypto, one community kept seeing the same pattern: experienced traders losing everything to scams. Not from lack of knowledge. From a brutal reality - in Web3, one distracted moment erases everything.

Building the new standard

Traditional finance built its security over centuries. Web3 needs it now. We're laying down the rails that make crypto transactions as secure as swiping your Visa.

Sustainable by design

Kerberus is built on the right foundations. Our company is profitable and funding comes directly from our users. Our equation is elegant: we win when you trade safely.

We've chosen sustainable fortification, linking our success to your security through crystal-clear economics that keeps us laser-focused on one mission: stopping losses before they start.

This isn't strategy. It's our promise to match traditional banking's security, one protected trade at a time.

Inside the Neo Tokyo community, two paths crossed:

Danor Cohen, who had spent 15 years breaking into systems of major companies such as PayPal and Dropbox, saw something familiar. The same psychology that made corporate systems vulnerable was now costing traders their life savings.

Alex Katz, with a decade scaling global operations, recognized that individual protection wasn't enough. Web3 needed institutional-grade security made accessible to everyone.
