Timing depends on scope, configuration, Kvarn's partner due diligence and approvals.

One Product. Clearly Defined Roles.

Your brand. Our technology.

Kvarn X provides the crypto-asset services.

In the Gray Label model, your app is the interface. Simplify Labs provides the partner-side interface technology and integration. Kvarn X provides the crypto-asset and payment services and holds the client relationship.

Your Business

Your app and brand look

You bring your users and your app. You own the app, brand look and user experience.

Simplify Labs

Technology

Simplify Labs provides the technology and integration that connect your app to Kvarn X. Simplify Labs does not provide crypto-asset services or hold client funds.

Kvarn

Crypto-asset and payment services

Kvarn X holds the client relationship and provides onboarding and KYC/AML, custody, order execution, transfers, the payment account, pricing and the asset range.

One customer-facing product. Three clearly defined roles.

A Different Route to Market

Offer crypto services

without becoming the regulated service provider.

If you provide crypto-asset services yourself, you need to build the technology, operations and regulatory setup required to do so. Under the Gray Label model, your role remains technical and Kvarn X provides the regulated services directly to users.

Build Independently

  • Technology

    Build and integrate your own trading, custody, payments and compliance stack.

  • Regulation

    Obtain and maintain the applicable authorisation if you provide regulated crypto-asset services yourself.

  • Operations

    Run onboarding, KYC/AML, custody, order execution, payments and regulatory operations yourself.

  • Timeline

    End-to-end licensing and build timelines can extend to 9–18 months.

Gray Label with Kvarn X

  • Technology

    Your app connects to Kvarn X through Simplify Labs technology.

  • Regulation

    You do not provide regulated crypto-asset services, so you do not need your own MiCA authorisation as long as your role remains technical as set out in the partner agreement.

  • Operations

    Kvarn X handles the client relationship, onboarding and KYC/AML, custody, order execution, transfers and the payment account.

  • Timeline

    Target go-live path of approximately 6 weeks, depending on scope and required setup.

Same ambition. A much shorter route from product decision to market.
