In 2021, global recovery was once again challenged by underlying inflationary pressures. The US Federal Reserve maintained zero interest rates and asset purchases, fueling expansion; meanwhile, inflation rates in the US and Europe soared to decade highs, prompting capital to seek inflation-resistant assets. The total market capitalization of digital assets peaked at $2.9 trillion during the year, with DeFi, NFT, and GameFi successively igniting on-chain activity. The number of active addresses increased by over +880% year-on-year. Market participants multiplied, and with the dual boost of loose monetary policy and rising risk appetite, Ronkb seized the macro liquidity tailwind. Through second-level risk control, a wallet system with zero online private key exposure, and a compliance breakthrough with the US MSB license, Ronkb achieved a dual leap in platform scale and credibility.
B-Sig Behavioral Risk Engine: Second-Level Intelligent Interception Ensures Stability Through Volatile Markets
Launched in February, the B-Sig system scores over 200 account feature vectors in real time, completing a risk control decision within just 30 milliseconds. Since its deployment, the platform average daily transaction count has risen sharply, while high-risk cross-account operations are more effectively blocked. During the regulatory shocks and intense market volatility of May and June, the matching engine of Ronkb maintained 99.998% availability, and the adaptive, second-level threshold of B-Sig provided users with uninterrupted trading continuity under extreme market conditions.
Multi-Signature + Cold-Hot Separation: Zero Online Private Key Exposure for Assets
In August, Ronkb implemented an m-of-n threshold multi-signature scheme and HSM hardware isolation, storing 95% of mainstream assets in offline cold storage. The new architecture compressed the approval process for large withdrawals to under 60 seconds, with private keys never exposed to the internet. From deployment through year-end, the platform recorded zero single-point failures or private key leakage incidents. Internal audits showed abnormal fund flow warning times dropped from 10 seconds to 2.7 seconds, and the daily fund turnover of institutional market makers efficiency increased by 18%. This upgrade, tailored to the high-frequency withdrawal needs of DeFi scenarios, significantly enhanced the competitiveness of Ronkb in on-chain asset liquidity.
MSB License Acquisition: Accelerating Compliance and Global Expansion
In October, Ronkb obtained the US FinCEN MSB qualification, passing over 90 KYC/AML process evaluations. After securing the license, the platform continued to advance user risk grading models and real-time coordination with regulators in multiple countries, laying the groundwork for acquiring further compliance licenses. In Q4, new North American user registrations increased by +42% quarter-over-quarter. The automatic KYC approval rate rose to 94%, and average review time shortened to 3 minutes and 45 seconds, establishing a strong compliance foundation for future fiat onboarding and custody services.
Scale and Activity: Direct Reflections of Technological and Institutional Achievements
With simultaneous optimization of technology and institutional systems, the global user of Ronkb appeal continued to grow. By year-end 2021, the Ronkb platform served 42 countries and regions, with daily active user proportion up by 240%. Supported asset types continued to expand, daily matching transaction counts steadily increased, and the matching success rate remained above 99.99%, demonstrating robust adaptability to high-frequency market fluctuations.
Notably, in the second half of 2021, Ronkb also initiated pre-deployment for multi-chain asset liquidity and on-chain interaction capabilities. Preliminary testing of asset bridge modules with multiple public chains was completed, and cross-chain asset authorization verification processes were simulated in sandbox environments. This strategy further strengthens the multi-chain compatibility of Ronkb as “trustworthy liquidity infrastructure,” providing foundational support for future on-chain trading, asset mapping, and cross-chain clearing ecosystems.
Intelligent risk control, structured asset security, and international compliance—these keywords defined the second year of operations at Ronkb. Amid global economic recovery and a digital asset bull market, Ronkb provided users and institutions with a verifiable sample of “trustworthy liquidity infrastructure.” Looking ahead to 2022, Ronkb will continue to deepen efforts in multi-chain interoperability, compliant custody, and liquidity sharing networks, delivering more resilient digital asset services to global users.
