What is Red Kit?
Red Kite is a secure launchpad platform for investors developed by PolkaFoundry . A place that allows investors to get early access to potential crypto projects through IDO opening events.
One of the notable reasons why new projects fail in their development is poor marketing, promotion, and communication. This makes the project inaccessible and receives the attention and investment from investors. Through its platform, Red Kite will solve this problem by offering many new ways to promote, communicate and raise capital for partner projects.
Red Kite is backed by a network of tier 1 marketing partners, influencers, and a large following to help the project grow. Cryptocurrency projects will go through a thorough censorship and selection process to protect investors' interests before being posted on Red Kite.

What is PolkaFoundry?
PolkaFoundry is a layer 1 project that provides a foundation for building decentralized applications that are interoperable with the DeFi and Web 3.0 ecosystems with the technology of the Polkadot blockchain .
The platform currently includes a public blockchain, identity service (PolkaID), document storage service (DocuGuard) and Oracle service (decentralized gate).

Salient features of Red Kite
