Karel Kubat is passionate about the transformative potential of technology, particularly in AI and cryptocurrency, emphasizing the importance of individual opinion in a rapidly changing world. He views society as a decentralized "giant anthill," where our last vestige of humanity lies in our ability to think independently amidst technological advancements.

Union is a hyper-efficient zero-knowledge infrastructure for secure message passing, asset transfers, NFTs, and DeFi, relying on consensus verification without third-party dependencies. Utilizing advanced Zero-Knowledge Cryptography and BLS signatures, Union delivers the fastest, most secure inter-blockchain communication protocol (IBC) globally
