The Team Behind Kadena
The project was founded by Stuart Popejoy and Will Martino, who were leading JPMorgan’s Blockchain group and the SEC’s Cryptocurrency Steering Committee respectively. Together, they built JPMorgan’s first blockchain, now known as JPM Coin, and eventually moved on to start Kadena.
Co-founder Will Martino’s expertise in the SEC (America’s Securities and Exchange Commission) is especially important. The project also features members who worked at Microsoft, Google, and Disney.
Most notably though, their team includes Dr. Stuart Haber, the co-inventor of blockchain, whose studies were cited multiple times in the Bitcoin White Paper itself
