Crates

Crates is a global onchain copy -trading platform designed to simplify access to U.S. equities. We empower users in India, Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia to buy real, fractional shares of U.S. stocks.

Instead of navigating confusing tickers and charts, users users invest in curated portfolios from public figure traders like Nancy, similar to Smallcase but fully non-custodial. Users simply subscribe to a trader’s crate, and their portfolio automatically mirrors the trader’s positions and rebalances transparently on-chain. While xStocks are live on Mantle, we’re building today using the Dinari SDK, with dShares live on Sepolia, enabling real tokenized stock strategies right now.

We also enable creators and financial influencers to build, share, and monetize their own Crates, fostering a community-driven approach to investing.

All of this is built on top of the Dinari SDK, which powers Dstocks and ensures:

• ✅ Compliance with government regulations

• ✅ Full KYC implementation

• ✅ Licensed infrastructure

This lets us focus on creating a seamless and intuitive experience for our users.
