‘Would you please introduce yourself and tell us how did you end up in the blockchain industry? what is your story?’
In 2013, I stumbled upon Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper. It was a mind-blowing experience, combining financial, technical, and social disruptions. I saw blockchain’s potential to change how we transact and interact. After experimenting with Bitcoin, I realized the security issues in wallets, so I worked with cryptography experts to create a more secure, user-friendly wallet. Later, I explored algorithmic trading and eventually focused on blockchain interoperability, which led to the creation of the Kima Network.
‘How would you explain your project to your grandmother?’
The biggest issue in blockchain today is interoperability. Think of it like sending money from Germany to Hong Kong; even banks, which have been around for decades, struggle with this. Blockchain is no different. While blockchain enables fast transactions, many blockchains can’t communicate with each other. Kima Network solves this by creating an agnostic, bridge-less architecture that connects different blockchains and even traditional financial systems securely and efficiently.
‘When was the first moment that the idea of Kima Network came into your mind? why?’
We initially started with a toolset for hedge funds to implement automatic hedging strategies in the volatile crypto market. When trying to integrate across different blockchains, we realized there wasn’t a robust, secure solution. So, we designed Kima Network, which evolved into a platform for broader interoperability challenges.
‘What problem is Kima Netwok solving?’
Kima solves various interoperability issues like secure messaging, exchange rate accuracy, and communication between systems. We’re not just bridging blockchains, but also enabling connections across diverse ecosystems — from decentralized finance to AI agents, CBDCs, and beyond.
‘Would you mention some of the recent updates, partnerships, and advancements?’
We launched our mainnet in November, onboarded five projects, and participated in a CBDC use case with the Bank of Israel, showcasing how Kima Network can enable seamless peer-to-peer swaps between digital and fiat currencies.
‘Can you name some of your competitors? What makes your project stand out among your competitors?’
Kima Network doesn’t rely on bridges or smart contracts, eliminating common security risks. Our decentralized protocol enables seamless asset transfers — including stablecoins and fiat — without intermediaries. This makes it more efficient and secure than other solutions.
‘What is your message to the people who have not invested in the blockchain industry yet?’
Blockchain is becoming a core part of future infrastructure, even if people aren’t aware of it. From AI to supply chains, blockchain is quietly powering efficiency. While speculative investments may capture attention, Kima Network is focused on building long-term financial infrastructure that will transform industries.
