About
Sentico Labs GmbH (Mariahilfer Straße 123/3, 1060 Vienna) builds Sentico/Senticore, a hybrid crypto exchange with off-chain matching and on-chain custody on Arbitrum One, offering spot, binary-option and prediction markets in a private beta. The Austrian commercial register lists an internet-services/website business object and a rename from Whistleblower GmbH (registered 2021) in 2026. The company's own sites describe the beta inconsistently: the docs say a capped, whitelisted beta with real collateral, while the FAQ says only Sentico-owned accounts and company funds are used and no public accounts are offered. No financial-services authorisation was found in the sources reviewed.
