Extend MoneyKit to support Cardano transactions data, providing enriched, user-friendly transaction manifests to enhance adoption in web2 finance.
No dependencies.
The code responsible for transaction enrichment will be open-sourced. This scope of this code involves querying transaction data from the chain and producing a human readable description of the transaction (transaction manifest).
The financial auditing / accounting application will be fully open-sourced.
The modifications to the MoneyKit platform and backend will not be open-sourced due to proprietary technologies and the need to maintain a secure, stable, and controlled environment for financial data aggregation and processing. This ensures high standards of security, reliability, and compliance with financial regulations, which are critical in the fintech industry.
MoneyKit is an innovative and robust platform and SDK that empowers developers to create financial applications for both mobile and web platforms with unparalleled ease and efficiency. This cutting-edge solution offers a host of advantages that make it an invaluable asset for the financial technology ecosystem, and it is positioned to make a significant positive impact in the field.
MoneyKit's core strengths lie in its ability to streamline the often complex and time-consuming process of developing financial applications. It provides developers with a comprehensive toolkit that simplifies and accelerates the integration of financial data and services into their applications. This results in reduced development time, improved user experiences, and ultimately, a more competitive and successful financial application.
Right now, dozens of top apps are powered by MoneyKit on both IOS and Android. This enhancement will have a ripple effect, benefiting all the top apps currently powered by MoneyKit on both iOS and Android, ultimately strengthening Cardano's presence and utility within the broader financial technology landscape.
Our solution involves three key components:
These elements will be integrated into MoneyKit, enhancing its capabilities to include and support Cardano transaction data, thereby facilitating broader adoption in web2 financial services.
The integration of Cardano into MoneyKit, through our project, will bring substantial benefits to the Cardano community by:
Money Kit
Backed by top VCs and leadership from Robinhood, Cash App, Square, Coinbase, Venmo and Stripe. Our system, constructed on modern APIs, is tailored for conversion, stability, and a global scope. We maintain connections with over 15,000 banks and cards, indicating our broad network capabilities.

With our efficient and user-friendly world-class APIs and native SDKs, we ensure rapid deployment and ease of use. Our culture fosters innovation and excellence, vital for validating and executing feasible, trustworthy projects.
Anastasia Labs has rapidly established itself as a leading development firm within the Cardano Ecosystem.
Our team consists of highly skilled developers who have made significant contributions to various community projects, including Lucid, Agora, Liqwid-Plutarch-Extra. Our developers have had experience developing and publishing end-to-end DApps including production projects like WingRiders. Our auditing clients include Wanchain, Lenfi, Encoins, FluidTokens, Spectrum Finance, and Atrium. In addition to our project involvement, our team has been actively engaged in the developer experience domain. We have actively participated in educational panels focused on DApp Security Practices and Design Patterns, and our members have served as co-chairs of the IOHK developer experience working group.
Furthermore, our collaboration with Emurgo Academy has been instrumental in educating aspiring developers, with our team playing an essential role in this endeavor. We have also recognized and recruited the most exceptional talents from the academy's classes.
We have developed software development kits (SDKs) that facilitate the integration of existing dApps with other systems through off-chain code. Our team has also designed various protocols, including bridges and staking systems, while also actively contributing to open-source smart contract languages and their associated standard libraries.
With broad range of expertise within the Cardano Ecosystem we are a highly capable and versatile development firm
