Today’s guest is a man with bold ambitions, and if the work he and his team has done over the last twelve months is anything to go by, that business trajectory is only likely to accelerate in the very near future.

Beniamin Mincu is a technology entrepreneur, investor and blockchain pioneer, considered by many in the cryptosphere to be a visionary with the determination to not only grow the whole sector but also create the kind of financial freedom and work-life opportunities for people from every corner of the planet.

Romanian by birth, Beniamin has spent the last decade immersing himself in blockchain technology, making shrewd and calculated investments in early-stage startups as well as working with more established business models to help deliver the exponential growth we’ve witnessed in crypto and DeFi.

His greatest achievement, however, has come as co-founder of the Elrond Network, a blockchain protocol that has focused effort, capital and energy on solving the puzzle that has provided the greatest challenge to crypto and DeFi adoption and scalability – transaction speed.

Elrond uses a unique sharding mechanism that has enabled the platform to execute as many as 15,000 transactions per second, whilst simultaneously negating the performance problems that have plagued their predecessors.
