Overview
Starlight.money is a fintech platform for the crypto economy that offers both custodial and non-custodial wallet services for businesses and individuals to manage digital assets. Custodial wallets are provided via Zero Hash, while non-custodial options work with wallets like Gnosis Safe and Metamask, letting users choose their preferred level of control.

By partnering with FDIC-member banks for deposits and Zero Hash for custody, Starlight emphasizes regulatory compliance and trust, aiming to bridge crypto with traditional finance.

- The product targets crypto-native teams and fintechs new to web3, simplifying onboarding.
