What is Kairo Guard?

Kairo Guard is a security layer that sits between you and your crypto. It adds protection against theft, phishing, and accidental mistakes—without requiring you to migrate your assets or learn complex new tools.

Think of it like a smart security system for your wallet. Just as a home security system can alert you to intruders, control who enters, and keep records of activity, Kairo Guard does the same for your cryptocurrency transactions.

The Problem Kairo Solves

Using crypto today comes with real risks:

Phishing attacks trick you into signing malicious transactions
Lost seed phrases mean permanently lost funds
Compromised devices can drain your wallet without warning
No undo button means one mistake can cost you everything

Traditional wallets give you complete control—but that also means complete responsibility. One wrong click, one stolen phrase, and your funds can disappear forever.

How Kairo Protects You

Kairo adds three layers of protection to your existing wallet:

1. Policy-Gated Signing

Every transaction goes through your personal policy before it can be signed. You set the rules:

Approved addresses only — Only send to destinations you've whitelisted
Spending limits — Cap how much can be sent in a single transaction
Blocked actions — Prevent dangerous contract interactions
Chain restrictions — Limit which networks you use

If a transaction doesn't match your policy, it simply won't sign—even if your device is compromised.

2. Key-Loss Protection

Your signing keys are split between your device and Kairo's network using advanced cryptography. Neither party alone can sign anything—both must cooperate.

This means:

If you lose your device, your funds aren't lost
If Kairo's systems were ever compromised, attackers still can't access your funds
Recovery is possible through secure backup methods

3. Verifiable Audit Trail

Every transaction creates an immutable record on Sui blockchain. You can always verify:

What policy approved each transaction
When and where each action occurred
The complete history of your wallet's activity

This isn't just for compliance—it's peace of mind.

What Kairo Doesn't Change

Kairo works with your existing workflow:

Same addresses — Your wallet addresses don't change
Same dApps — Connect to the same DeFi protocols and NFT platforms
Same experience — Transactions look and feel the same
Non-custodial — You maintain full ownership of your assets

The only difference? Every transaction now passes through your policy first.

Who Is Kairo For?

Individual holders who want protection without complexity. Set up once, then forget about it—Kairo works quietly in the background.

Active DeFi users who interact with contracts regularly and want guardrails against malicious approvals.

Long-term investors who want recovery options in case of device loss or life changes.

Anyone who's ever worried about clicking the wrong thing in their wallet.
