Team

The team building the trust and transaction layer for regulated finance.

A small, high-trust team with founder velocity. Operators who have delivered identity, compliance, payments and settlement systems inside regulated institutions, now building the compliance infrastructure regulated finance needs to verify counterparties once and clear digital asset payments before they move.
