PART 1, INTRODUCTION AND COMMUNITY QUESTIONS
Paul Mont | Satoshi Club: Hello Satoshi Clubbers! Today we are excited to announce our AMA session with Metis! Welcome to Satoshi Club Elena Sinelnikova and Kevin Liu. Welcome! Great to have you here!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Today our guests are Elena Sinelnikova and Kevin Liu
Elena Sinelnikova: Hi everyone! Happy to be here, Thank you for the invite! Waiting for Kevin Liu to join.
Paul Mont | Satoshi Club: Please tell us more about your background. How did you get to be involved in crypto & Metis?
Elena Sinelnikova: My name is Elena Sinelnikova. I am Founder of CryptoChicks.ca and Metis.io. I have a tech background — over 20 years’ experience working as Microsoft solutions architect in Canadian government and law enforcement. In 2015 I became interested and started learning in blockchain. In 2017 me and my friend Natalia Ameline founded Crypto Chicks — a female organization focused on blockchain education for women. We started it as a small meetup group and nowadays it grew to have chapters in 56 countries.
I met my two Metis co-founders a few years ago — Kevin Liu, who is an excellent product manager and released products before with 100 million downloads and Yuan Su, who was in the IBM team that built the very first Hyperledger. We were partners in one of the educational projects with CryptoChicks. Then we worked together on the Token Economy Institute project that grew into Metis Protocol. We have a long history before we became co-founders for Metis. Now Metis has 26 people working on the project — we accomplished so much! Creating a great product!
Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: What is the essence of Metis?
Elena Sinelnikova: Metis is a platform where you can build your blockchain, DeFi or NFT business without being a developer. We are building the platform for people as well as companies to benefit from the perks of blockchain technology without being aware so much that they do so on the blockchain. There are lots of barriers for people to really use blockchain for business — we tackle all the barriers.
