kpk is redefining crypto treasury management with secure, transparent, fully on-chain systems. In this episode, I speak with Jack Gale, core contributor at kpk (formerly Karpatkey), managing over $1.8B for top DAOs like Gnosis, Aave, ENS, and dYdX.

We dive into why an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) is essential for DAOs, how kpk builds trust with crypto-native reporting, and a case study with Beefy Finance using Octav for on-chain data tracking.
