Key people at Chainflip.
Chainflip was founded in 2020 by Simon Harman (Founder & CEO).
Chainflip is a decentralised cross-chain Automated Market Maker (AMM) for native token swaps across blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. It facilitates programmatic value transfer using native tokens, avoiding wrapped assets. Leveraging Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and FROST, its architecture ensures security, chain sovereignty, and broad interoperability.
Simon Harman founded Chainflip in 2020, identifying centralised exchanges limit inter-blockchain value transfer. A crypto enthusiast and Oxen Foundation board member, Harman pursued a decentralised, trustless solution. His expertise in cryptoeconomics and distributed systems, including work on Session, underpins the protocol's core design.
The platform serves Web3 users and developers seeking non-custodial cross-chain transactions. Chainflip aims to extend programmatic swapping across all major blockchains, fostering product innovation and a more integrated, permissionless DeFi ecosystem. It makes complex cross-chain interactions straightforward as single-chain swaps, enhancing user experience and developer utility.
