Komodo CTO Kadan Stadelmann did two interview this week: one with Decrypt Media about Komodo's upcoming web DEX and one with CryptoMurmur about his personal life.
"In the last four months, we've launched the first DEX for mobile phones, on-boarded thousands of users, and executed the first web browser-based atomic swap," said Kadan. Read the full interview with Decrypt here.
In the second interview, Kadan discussed his life before blockchain and some of his closest-held beliefs: "Never give up. I think that's something many people really fight with, and often people will lose ambition too fast and don't believe in themselves." Read the full interview with CryptoMurmur here.
This week, Komodo Marketing Manager Audo Kowitz gave a presentation on Komodo at a Cryptour Event, hosted by OKEx, in Kyiv, Ukraine. Audo discussed benefits of multi-chain architecture versus the still popular single-chain platform model. Watch Audo's presentation on Komodo here.

"I always kind of hoped that cryptocurrencies would become a truly decentralized form of this global financial power which economies and societies are based on. In the beginning when I got to know about Bitcoin and all these P2P decentralized cryptographic technologies, I thought it would likely result in this financial power being distributed in a much more decentralized manner, however reality taught me that structures and people behind the financial system which is controlling the traditional financial layer, also kind of made this shift over to the crypto world. So what we have seen is multi-billion dollar companies controlling large parts of this ecosystem and industry, not just from a financial perspective, but in general."
