Introducing Marina Markezic as an Advisor to Boson Protocol

Governance is an essential component of any Web 3 project and we have therefore assembled a team that is working to build a protocol that reflects our values and calls for progressive decentralization.

Marina Markezic has been involved with the project from the very beginning, sharing her expertise on Token regulation and governance. Besides being an advisor to the project she recently joined the core team as Governance lead.

Marina has worked in the blockchain industry since 2017 as a professional legal and business advisor, starting out in one of the first European blockchain accelerators as a lead adviser. She is currently mentoring and advising startups, specializing in blockchain governance and token regulation.

Marina co-founded the European Crypto Initiative, impacting the future EU crypto regulation in favour of decentralised use cases and open blockchains. Prior to 2017, she co-founded a crowd-investing platform and worked in alternative financing for startups. She was selected as one of the 100 top women in Fintech by LATTICE80 in 2018 in collaboration with Miss Kaya. We are thrilled to have such an innovative expert on board the Boson Protocol team.

Three Questions with Marina

Why were you interested in Boson Protocol?

Boson Protocol is one of the most interesting projects in the space at the moment. I have been involved in discussions with the founders for more than a year now and the thing I admire the most is their domain knowledge, perseverance, and incredible motivation. I believe this is the recipe for success.

What are you doing with the team?

I am working on the governance strategy for the Boson protocol. The governance of the protocol is going to be a vital part of the project and together with other excellent professionals like system designers, protocol architects, product managers, and token engineers, we are working to build a protocol that reflects our values and it calls for progressive decentralization.

How do you think the vision could impact web 3?

Boson’s vision is to build around Things, data and money. It will be an essential part of the web3 and it will complement the DeFi space we see booming right now. Boson is adding a trust layer and automatization on the commitments that represent the digital to physical redemptions. Exchanging digital value for real world things will be easier and safer with Boson.

About Boson Protocol

Boson Protocol automates digital to physical redemptions using NFTs encoded with game theory. This allows the trustless coordination of commerce transactions with minimized human intermediaries or arbitrators.

Boson's core technology disrupts e-commerce platforms by tokenizing real-world products and services and commerce data within a liquid digital market, powered by DeFi infrastructure. We call this decentralized autonomous commerce.

Let’s build an Open tokenized economy together.
