May 13, 2025 – Tel Aviv, Israel — Syndika, a leading Web3 Venture Studio and Founders Syndicate, is proud to announce that it has joined Kima Network, the world’s first cross-ecosystem settlement layer for the programmable financial world, enabling atomic, cross-ecosystem settlements, as an official node validator.
Kima provides a secure, compliance-first foundation for asset settlement across blockchains, apps, and traditional financial systems, without using smart contracts or relying on custodial bridges. Designed to meet the needs of both fintech builders and institutions, Kima enables atomic, cross-ecosystem transactions with embedded auditability and protocol-level compliance enforcement.
As regulatory pressure intensifies and financial innovation spans both Web3 and traditional finance, Kima’s unique infrastructure is emerging as a critical layer for safe, scalable value transfer.
“Kima is building the foundation for the next wave of financial infrastructure, where programmable settlement, compliance, and composability go hand in hand,” said Eitan Katz, Co-Founder and CEO of Kima. “Having Syndika as a validator strengthens our mission to deliver a network that financial institutions, developers, and innovators can trust.”
Validators play a crucial role in the Kima ecosystem: they are responsible for processing transactions, verifying compliance, maintaining network integrity, and ensuring that value moves safely across different financial systems.
As an official node validator, Syndika will contribute to the ongoing security, governance, and operational robustness of the Kima network. This step aligns with Syndika’s mission to support foundational Web3 infrastructure and empower the next generation of decentralized innovation.
“At Syndika, we believe that cross-ecosystem liquidity and compliance-driven solutions are key to mainstream Web3 adoption. Joining Kima as a validator reflects our deep belief in the importance of decentralized, compliance-ready infrastructure as the backbone of blockchain technology,” said Tzahi Kanza, CEO of Syndika.
Having a well-established, multi-project player like Syndika run Kima’s validators will contribute to Kima’s network security and add reliability and credibility to its network.
For the broader crypto community, this development represents a shift toward a more mature, interoperable Web3 ecosystem where security, usability, and compliance can coexist.
