Welcome @rajparekh_ to the Monad Foundation team! Raj brings exceptional product leadership in the payments and stablecoin space, and genuine passion for the crypto industry. He joins us with the goal of massively growing Payments and Stablecoins on Monad. Raj has been putting in the work to grow adoption of blockchain since 2019, when he was the founding product manager of Visa’s crypto team. After leading Visa’s global crypto product and helping the team there to make foundational investments in integrating crypto, Raj co-founded Portal in 2021 with David Scrobonia, Parsa Attari, and Rami Shahatit. Their vision was to massively increase crypto adoption by enabling any company to quickly add crypto wallets to any app. Over the past four years, the Portal team has built a super powerful SDK and MPC wallet product that makes it super easy for companies to give their users crypto wallets. Portal’s SDKs power companies like Bitso (#1 exchange in LatAm), Velo (digital dollar accounts in Brazil), Takenos (platform for LatAm-based freelancers & contractors), Rally (social trading platform, acq by OpenSea), Slingshot (acq MagicEden), Rain Cards (leading stablecoin-backed debit card), and many more. The Portal team's story mirrors the Monad story - building tools that change the game for adoption - just starting at a different part of the stack. Their tools and their skills are truly complementary. I feel super blessed to get the chance to work closely with Raj and the team. There's so much to do, and we're just getting started! On behalf of the Monad Community, welcome Raj!
