Zon
Zon is the co-founder of Initia, a Cosmos SDK Layer 1 built as an orchestration layer for "interwoven rollups," application-specific optimistic rollups that can run EVM, MoveVM, or WasmVM. Before starting Initia he was an engineer at Terraform Labs during the Terra era, leaving shortly before its collapse to build what became Initia. The project emerged from stealth with backing from Binance Labs in 2023 and went on to raise a $14 million Series A led by Theory Ventures.
