The FUSION Foundation, DJ Qian’s latest cryptofinance blockchain
venture is announcing some significant additions to its
organisation, as it moves forward to create the backbone
infrastructure for cryptofinance
The FUSION Foundation (http://fusion.org/), the non profit
developing a new backbone and infrastructure for cryptofinance,
announces today that key members from the finance world will be
joining the newly formed Foundation Intelligence organisation.
FUSION’s Foundation Intelligence team will develop cryptofinance
theory in order to support future development, provide resources
and key connections for FUSION’s adoption, and provide strategy
guidance. As part of the launch of the Foundation Intelligence
program, Daniel Petrozzo, Jeff Singer, Eric Weinstein, and Najam
Kidwai, top executives in the financial and business sectors,
agreed to take roles in the preparation for this new initiative.
The Intelligence team will be established on May 17th during its
first meeting in New York City, immediately following the Consensus
18 Blockchain Conference
(https://www.coindesk.com/events/consensus-2018/).
FUSION is also announcing the creation of its ‘Industry
Adoption’ group. This small but select team of individuals will be
chosen based on their backgrounds and connections to both the
traditional financial industries and blockchain space, to which
they will liaise and promote FUSION’s concepts, vision, and
collaborations. Since many of FUSION’s benefits to the finance
world will emerge as the technology is adopted by existing
blockchain projects and traditional financial institutions, this
organisational focus will be instrumental in realizing the vision.
Further announcements will be made as these individuals are
appointed.
And finally, FUSION is announcing the Matrix Community
Organisation. In striving to be fully inclusive of all communities,
FUSION’s community management team will extend its activities by
appointing Ambassadors to represent FUSION in various places around
the world. The ambassadors will promote the idea of cryptofinance,
and drive discussions globally in various languages and across
different interest groups such as technical, trading and others.
FUSION has already identified and confirmed ambassadors for four
language/geography groups and will continue to develop this Matrix
organisation for community reach and coverage.
