The Kima Story

From the forefront of the Israeli tech industry, Eitan left the comfortable corporate world to start building the future of decentralized and open finance. Having worked for companies like HP and BMC, Eitan began putting his experience in enterprise software to work on crypto in 2014 with Aegis, which was one of the first hardware wallets.

Today Eitan leads Kima into an interoperable web3 future, where liquidity flows freely between dApps on different chains.
