Keyrock Chooses Fordefi’s DeFi Wallet & Security Platform
Keyrock was founded in 2017 by Kevin de Patoul, CEO, Jeremy de Groodt, CTO, and Juan David Mendieta, CSO. Keyrock is a leading market maker with the vision of empowering the adoption of tokenized economies.
We are very excited to be working with Fordefi as our DeFi-focused custodian solution. As a digital asset market maker, we are participating more and more in on-chain protocols both manually and algorithmically. Finding a wallet suitable for these operations was a necessity. The freedom that Fordefi allows for DeFi protocol interaction, as well as limit that freedom based on specific rules, makes it a great tool for rolling out these on-chain activities. We look forward to using and co-developing all the features Fordefi has to offer.
We’re excited to announce that Keyrock, an industry leading digital asset market maker, has chosen Fordefi as their DeFi wallet. We first met the Keyrock team several months ago while still in stealth, and are excited to have them join us in our mission to enable institutions to securely transact in DeFi.

Enabling institutions to unlock opportunities across DeFi protocols with confidence, ease, and clarity, is why we built Fordefi.” said Steve Horvath, VP of Sales at Fordefi.
Keyrock’s DeFi Wallet Challenges
As a digital asset market maker, Keyrock is required to interact with DeFi protocols. It became apparent to the Keyrock team that their other wallet solutions, though great at internal interactions, were limiting their ability to interact with external DeFi protocols. The lack of DeFi connectivity sent Keyrock on a hunt for a new product that could both seamlessly connect to DeFi protocols and provide institutional-grade custody.

Why Keyrock Chose Fordefi’s DeFi Wallet & Security Platform
After testing multiple different providers over the last couple of months, Keyrock chose Fordefi as their DeFi wallet solution for two key reasons: DeFi protocol connectivity and institutional-grade custody. Fordefi’s unified platform and self-serve policy controls made it stand out amongst other providers. In addition, Keyrock is excited to try out additional features such as interacting on non-EVM chains, API connectivity, and mobile alerts.
