Eric Chen

Co-founder of layer-2 decentralised derivatives exchange protocol - Injective Protocol - Eric Chen started his passion for crypto and blockchain back in high-school, when he mined bitcoins for the first time. After a career as researcher at NYU Blockchain Labs and Innovating Capital, in 2018 Eric founded Injective Protocol together with Albert Chon (CTO). The idea behind the project was to improve DeFi usability and security, eliminating problems related to high latency, poor liquidity and UX. The goal was to give DEX users the same experience they have with CEXs, eliminating the gap between the two.
