To our Friends, collaborators, and fellow builders,

Welcome to the first edition of The Chronicle, the newsletter by the Crescite Innovation team.

Hard to believe we've been building this for 4 years.

With the launch of our official newsletter, this inaugural edition will highlight our achievements to date and outline our future plans.

Future editions will highlight cardinals, volunteers, and the incredible work we have been building behind the scenes.

When I think about what we've been building, I think about the human beings we’ve met and the simple, profound commitment my father taught me:

Always be the first to lend a hand.

That simple truth is the foundation of Crescite. We started this journey not to chase the hype of a financial boom, but because we believe in realizing our vision of technological advancement, global economic empowerment, and faith-based impact.

The ceremony also held deep personal meaning for Eddie, who wore the Three Wise Men socks as a tribute to his father, whose funeral was held on the Feast of the Epiphany. The only statue of Saint Basil the Great in NYC—his father's patron saint—stands at St. Patrick's, where Eddie and his mother took a photo together after the ceremony.

How many immersive, faith-forward video experiences are you aware of?

This is why we designed The Acutis Game™, inspired by Saint Carlo Acutis, the first millennial saint.

Using Unreal Engine, the game will deliver mainstream-quality gameplay with virtuous storytelling for Catholic and Jesuit education. A 15-minute, Minecraft-style First Communion module (ages 6–8) is already complete, with fuller game experiences targeted for the 2026 school year. We’re also working with Jesuit partners on licensing for schools and individual access.

Check out an early preview of the game here!

Our co-founder, Karl P. Kilb III, shares more:

We believe that blockchain technologies and decentralized finance (DeFi) can accelerate the future of education.

That's why our historic 20-year agreement with Hekima University in Molo, Kenya, is about Empathy Economics. We're establishing a premier STEM institution featuring the largest library in Africa and a vital tokenization research facility. By structuring this project through tokenization with Securitize, and building a subnet on the XDC Network, we're creating a transparent model for Public Benefit Finance that directly empowers the community and ensures education access.

This proves technology, when led by moral purpose, defines true progress.

For too long, the digital asset space has been plagued by arrogance and speculation—"crypto-bro capitalism."

In May this year, the Crescite Innovation Corporation team introduced two new proprietary frameworks: the Return on Token™ (RoT™) and the Token Rate of Return™ (TRR™) framework.

We believe the market capitalization formula is flawed because it rewards hype—not productivity. Return on Token (RoT™) and Token Rate of Return™ (TRR™) frameworks change that.

My life's work started at age 21, walking barefoot alongside migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. I am now fiercely protective of the poor.

Our goal is to use technology to create dignity for all and prove that service builds prosperity. We are laying the groundwork for institutional adoption through compliance, transparency, and a non-speculative revenue model like RoT™ and TRR™.

We live in the comparative, not the superlative. We are committed to getting better every day.

Thank you for joining us on this journey where we put people before profits, ethics before ego, and empathy before everything.
