Today on the show we have Saing. Saing is the Co-Founder of Selendra, Cambodia's first full-scale blockchain, which has been in development and prototyping since 2016. As Selendra now has opened its technology to the world and is beginning rolling out its mainnet over the next 6-12 months, Saing is taking the lead with technology development and expanding use cases. Saing is also the CEO of Bitriel, which is a crypto wallet that plays a key role in the Selendra ecosystem. Prior to Selendra and Bitriel, Saing worked in various computer science roles for leading financial institutions in Cambodia.
What we dive into:
- Why the application of blockchain technologies can play a key role in the development of emerging economies like Cambodia
- What makes Selendra unique; micro-transaction capability, interoperability, jungle development, regional use case applications
- Why investing in people is the most important aspect of any successful business
