Speaking on the development, Abhishek Rajagopal, Co-founder of Hypto, said,

“We are breaking down finance into its fundamental components to create a new generation of highly accessible, scalable and low latency web services that power all financial use cases. We are also open-sourcing our connections to centralised financial institutions and decentralised networks. By open-sourcing this connectivity layer, we are welcoming a global community of the sharpest people to collaborate and solve the toughest problems in finance.”
