With 5+ years of experience working in both the CeFi and DeFi crypto space, the Thane founders (Lena - CEO and Alex - CTO) have lived the challenges of DeFi firsthand and are committed to overcoming them. They met in 2022 while working at BitMEX. Lena then transitioned to an MPC wallet solution provider that was focusing on self-custody solutions for smaller institutions to safely participate in DeFi, giving her unique insights into self-custody, which is a crucial element to what we're building with Thane. Alex's background, even before BitMEX, has been in trading technology, another core element of Thane. Additionally, Alex brings previous founder experience in the DeFi space, with valuable lessons and insights that are shaping what they are building now.

Our experience building Thane’s MVP as a Telegram mini app has prepares us perfectly to now integrate Thane as a Farcaster Frame. This transition allows us to leverage our existing technology while expanding our reach to a more DeFi-savvy audience on Farcaster, enhancing the platform's unique value proposition. Our combined expertise in trading technology, self-custody, and DeFi positions us uniquely to build a seamless, intuitive DeFi experience directly within Farcaster.
