AI Score on Assets
Our partnership with OxScope has introduced AI Score services into the Kontos ecosystem. Users can now access comprehensive AI-driven asset evaluations directly from the “Markets” page in our Web App. This feature provides valuable insights, aiding in more informed decision-making.
AI Score, as your Web3 AI assistant, is an innovative feature that offers comprehensive ratings for various assets. By leveraging advanced AI algorithms, it evaluates multiple dimensions of an asset’s performance, such as financial metrics, market sentiment, historical performance and on-chain transactions, providing users with a well-rounded evaluation and an investment analysis.
Kontos Gateway Revamp
In our ongoing efforts to enhance user experience, Kontos has revamped its Bridge functionality. With the new version, users can now directly deposit to their AA addresses for their selected chain. This streamlined process mirrors traditional “receive” operations, simplifying asset transfers while ensuring the security and availability of your assets.
