The acquisition doubles TrustToken’s team size quadruples the company’s technical talent and brings in senior technical and design leadership to take TrustToken’s mission to the next level.
Recognized as one of the world’s top Web3 engineering firms, EthWorks has been a TrustToken partner for over a year and contributed to the development of many of the most widely adopted Layer 1 blockchains and DeFi protocols. EthWorks has worked with the Ethereum Foundation, Bitcoin.org, Maker DAO, Polkadot, Dharma, and many more. The EthWorks team will fully integrate into TrustToken’s staff and join the technical, design, and operational roadmap across all products and services, with a special focus on scaling the TrueFi protocol.
In onboarding the EthWorks team, the TrustToken team is growing to over 100 members and significantly expands the company’s engineering, design, and cybersecurity capabilities. This new talent is expected to substantially accelerate TrustToken’s development schedule, user experience, and protocol security across the company’s various products and services. TrustToken will also maintain and expand EthWorks’ open-source projects including Waffle and useDApp which are used by Ethereum developers globally.
EthWorks’ industry-recognized engineering and design leadership join TrustToken in senior positions, guiding the company’s development and branding efforts. The senior leadership team will see Marek Kirejczyk, Founder and CEO of EthWorks, become Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of TrustToken. EthWorks’ Head of Design, Natalia Kirejczyk, rises to become TrustToken’s VP of Design, while EthWorks’ CTO Krzysztof Jelski will become TrustToken’s VP of Engineering. With this investment in senior talent, Poland is set to become TrustToken’s primary engineering hub.
“As TrustToken matures and expands, we need to make sure our products and services are among the most robust, safe, and accessible in the blockchain industry,” says Rafael Cosman, CEO of TrustToken. “The acquisition of EthWorks and its world-class team of engineers and designers is crucial for the future of TrueFi, helping us scale the speed, security, and experience of the protocol while creating the greatest possible opportunities for our lenders, borrowers, and token holders.”
“We’re very excited to now be part of TrustToken’s story,” says Marek Kirejczyk, Founder of EthWorks. “TrueFi is the fastest-growing uncollateralized lending protocol in DeFi. Our joining forces creates a unique opportunity to accelerate growth and create an outstanding impact in the DeFi space – and soon, in the world of institutional finance.”
