· why athenic
Competitors let you hold, We let you use.
You don’t invest in DeFi to sit on Bitcoin. You stake, farm, swap, and move. Athenic is the only retirement account that lets you actually use DeFi — across the chains you care about.

· Self-Custody
Your Wallet.Your Rules.
Your Future.
Most crypto IRAs are just fintech wrappers with training wheels. Athenic is different. You control your wallet, not a custodian. Your DeFi account lives on-chain, where it belongs.

· Built by us for us
Built By Us, For Us
We couldn’t find a retirement tool that gave us real on-chain access — so we built it. Athenic is what we’d want for ourselves: secure, compliant, and actually useful in DeFi.
Who is behind Athenic?
We're lawyers from LexDAO and degens from Aragon who wanted tax-optimized crypto investments.
Why did you build this?
There weren't any products that offered self-directed retirement accounts that we liked.
How does it work?
You get a tax-advantaged self-custodial account that can be used with all major wallets. See our FAQ.
