Arjun Bhuptani started Connext Network - p2p micropayments on Ethereum. Payment channels, physics, philosophy, dad jokes. Arjun is the founder and CEO of Connext, a frictionless solution to bring tokens to mainstream markets. A physicist turned developer, Arjun now focuses primarily on understanding the token economy, the regulations that pertain to the industry and on finding novel ways to combat fraud and financial crimes on blockchains. Arjun first became intrigued by the industry through an interest in Universal Basic Income. His belief is that a sustainable UBI only becomes possible when the marginal cost of living becomes negligible, which requires systemic disintermediation through decentralization. To achieve this, he hopes to foster widespread adoption of the technology by reducing both the friction for mainstream users and the risk for financial regulators.
