We continue our journey after three weeks of public progress in our open development phase. Below, you will be able to see the most remarkable updates from last week.

Deposit and Redeem Flow Improvements

You get a clearer flow for depositing and redeeming funds. The new design and implementation in our sandpit environment use a more traditional, public-oriented approach. This new approach is intended to minimize user interactions while at the same time showing all the required information, such as a simulation of shares obtained when depositing and the self-survey to meet the eligibility criteria defined by the SEC.

KYC/KYB implementation with Persona

This past week, we have progressed in our sandpit environment to deploy our end-to-end workflow for KYC/KYB and accredited investor verification with our provider, Persona. This integration, required by the SEC in order to offer our tokenized managed funds, will enable us to comply with regulations while also providing a smooth and quick onboarding experience, with automated workflows and document verification enabled by AI-based capabilities.

This is just an example on how one of our screens will looks like:

Two-Factor Transaction Signing

You can require a second factor authentication when you sign transactions such as adding Passkeys or one time password. This reduces the risk of unauthorized signing and protects you from account takeover and malware-triggered approvals.

Below you can also check a list of minor improvements and bug fixes we have solved over the week.

Improvements

• Backend: Add start_time and end_time query param filters to /vaults/investments so you can pull period-specific information.

• Backend: Generated timestamps now use the last safe/known value to avoid gaps in charts and exports when upstream data is delayed

• Backend: Include icon in fund assets in FTaaS endpoint so UIs can display branded asset visuals without extra lookups

• Product Design: We have completed the new designs for the expansion of our staking service to other blockchain networks. This includes new branding assets, new landing page and the addition of a multichain concept in our staking service front end.

• Online shop: We have completed the new page design for the creation of an online shop featuring Starke Finance merchandise. To be enabled after the release of the public beta (H2 2026)

• Bug: Fixed get starke config endpoint to reliably return the correct configuration payload across environments

• Bug: Historic asset holdings synchronization resumes correctly so portfolio charts and totals reflect the full backfill
