George McDonaugh, Managing Director and Co-Founder of KR1:

“Side Protocol has ambitious plans when it comes to leading the way for decentralised finance. Thanks to its innovative mesh liquidity network architecture, Side Protocol has seen significant interest recently and we are excited to support the team in this next chapter.”
