Management Commentary

Levy Cohen, CEO of Wellfield commented, "One of the most common ways that technology companies fail is by focusing only on developing great underlying technology without building a path to real-world application and adoption. Tamir's deep experience and ongoing research on the evolving decentralized financial market and trading protocols, as well as his expertise in the venture capital world, have been critical in focusing our team on developing practical solutions – based on great tech – that are necessary to unlock the power of DeFi. As we look forward to launching our Seamless protocols in 2022 and beyond, Tamir's continued expertise will help ensure that Wellfield delivers strong, value adding blockchain solutions for financial industry participants."
