Been enjoying building @optimexfi with Ash over the past 4 months. His deep experience building crypto solutions at Visa will be invaluable as we push Optimex toward its vision of unlocking Bitcoin liquidity.
Fun fact: I was an intern at Visa Research back in early 2017 before I started Kyber, Ash was my mentor then. 10 years later, we’re back building together.
🧠 Dr. Hung Dang is the Research Lead at @optimex_xyz, a next-gen DeFi suite built for native Bitcoin. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore, where his work on distributed system security earned wide recognition and academic citations.
After years in academia, Dr. Dang made the leap from research to real-world impact - bringing deep technical expertise into Bitcoin's emerging DeFi ecosystem. At Optimex, he's building the infrastructure to unlock new possibilities for Bitcoin beyond store-of-value.
From theory to application, from research labs to the frontier of decentralized finance - Dr. Hung Dang is helping redefine what’s possible on Bitcoin.

GM World! We are Optimex, the vanguard of non-custodial DeFi for native Bitcoin.
60% BTC dominance, soaring retail & institutional adoption, and 8 years of DeFi—yet BTC hasn’t dominated the DeFi landscape. That’s a shame.
The world is craving a seamless, efficient, and non-custodial solution that empowers swap, lend, and margin trade on Bitcoin natively and non-custodially.
Optimex ends that crave.
Another great news! The hacker behind the KyberSwap attack, has been charged! You can’t just hack defi and run away from justice!

Kyber team deserves to get back the fund and see that guy being put in jail soon.
1/4 After stepping down from my CEO role at @KyberNetwork in 2022, I spent years exploring new paths. Now, I'm excited to share that It's time to get back in the trenches.
I'm diving back into building more in-house crypto products and protocols at @CaliberBuild.
