The story · Vienna · est. 2026
An auditor is paid to ask what is behind the number.
I am a trained internal auditor and run a Vienna consulting firm for internal audit and risk.
Before Skontro, I lost money in DeFi — never seeing what anything actually cost while it happened.
0% fee, market value, the amount you typed — each correct, none the number you keep.
Skontro began as a calculator I built for myself; that all-in number, at my size, existed nowhere.
Now it computes that number for anyone — on a trade, on a move, across a portfolio.
It reads, never trades; no exchange can pay to rank higher — both rules sit in code.
One goal: a market transparent enough that the person reading the screen decides.
