Now time to welcome our first speaker, John Clark, co-founder at All the Buy. Please, to have you here today with us, John. Tell us about yourself. Yeah, thanks for having me. Thanks to the fair team and for Con. So before I sort of
building and the algorithm ecosystem I come from traditional finance. I was a trader at a fixed income hedge fund for three years and it was there that I learned a lot about financial markets, particularly interest rate markets. So I guess it was that
interest in my curiosity with crypto that got me interested in building a lending market on the Algrin network, which my co-founder owned and I selected after thinking deeply about what technology should we should use to deploy something very scalable.
There were many choices when we were looking in the summer of 2021. But we really felt strongly about algorithms, technology, and core developer team. So for that reason, we've developed a lot of tools on Algrond. And we'll look forward to growing that in the coming year.
Very exciting. Thanks John. Our next speaker is Benedetto Bionde, CEO of Fox Finance. Welcome to the show Benedetto. The mic is all yours. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you to the team for organizing these.
Yeah, a little bit about me. I was a mechanical engineer, studied at Polytechnic of Milan, then I was a mechanical designer for a little bit. I didn't like. I honestly felt I should be
more on the management side, so I took a master in management engineering. And then I started to work for Blockchain Italia, which is a software house, basically Milan. And Blockchain Italia was between the global partner of our grant. We adopted this technology at a very early stage.
We always liked the mission and the technology. And when we saw the phi growing on algorithms, that's the time there was tiny man. We were like, okay, let's build something cool. And then we started to build the Fox Finals. At the beginning it was called
then we decided to rebrand it into Volkswagen's finance as the mission to open the finance to the people thanks to the low fees of Algrant and here we are now after launching on April last year on Maynet the protocol has been
evolve with a lot, we launched the liquid governance and as many of us may know, Gealgo. Now we are still building the product. The mission, the target is to build this one stop shop where you have all the
tools that you need for managing your assets, do trading and in a very simple way. That's the target. And yeah, I guess it's a good beginning. Thanks very much, Benedetto. And our third and last speaker is Stale Antens, who's the CU at Parabolism.
