Dear Paradigm community members,

As we celebrate the notable milestone of our tenth anniversary here at Paradigm, I find myself reflecting on the miraculous odyssey we have embarked upon together. It has been a decade of relentless passion, dedication, and unyielding commitment to advancing the frontiers of technology and science.

As I always say, ‘Paradigm is not just an institution — it’s a passion project’, a labor of love that has been at the forefront of technology since 2013. And what makes this journey so remarkable is the extraordinary community we’ve built together. From our brilliant team of experts and PhDs from diverse backgrounds to you, our dedicated readers, we are a united force with a shared purpose: to create a transparent information space by exchanging cutting-edge research across the leading scientific fields.

Our evolution from a venture fund to a research institute marks a significant step in our journey, reflecting our unwavering commitment to advancing knowledge and innovation. This transition has allowed us to delve deeper into the realms of science and tech, fostering a dynamic environment where experts from various fields collaborate to push the boundaries of what is possible. As a research institute, our mission is not only to explore the frontiers of knowledge but also to share our discoveries and insights with the world, contributing to the collective progress of society.

We are proud of this transformation, and it underscores our dedication to intellectual curiosity and the relentless pursuit of excellence. It is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of research and innovation, and we look forward to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead in this new phase of our journey.

Over the years, we have ventured into exciting domains such as DLTs and crypto, neuroscience, genetics, biometrics, robotics, space exploration, quantum technologies, and more. In our pursuit of exploring the fascinating intersection between various fields of science and cutting-edge technologies, Paradigm has embarked on numerous initiatives and projects. While some have met with resounding success and others not, our commitment to experimentation and relentless brainstorming remains unwavering.

Among the projects that have emerged in recent years, there is one that fills us with immense pride — Humanode. This project found its genesis at the convergence of blockchain, cryptography, and biometrics. It stands as a testament to our dedication to pushing the boundaries of knowledge and innovation, fusing these distinct domains to create something truly groundbreaking.

Humanode is a shining example of what can be achieved when we dare to bridge the gaps between seemingly disparate fields of study. It embodies our ethos of embracing the unknown, seeking connections where they may not be obvious, and pioneering the uncharted territory of interdisciplinary exploration.

Building on the success of projects like Humanode, we will continue to foster interdisciplinary research that brings together experts from diverse fields. Our goal is to identify new areas of exploration where emerging technologies intersect with scientific frontiers. Expect more groundbreaking projects that challenge conventional thinking and lead to innovative solutions.

Also, to advance our mission, we are planning significant upgrades to our platform. These improvements will enhance the user experience, streamline access to research, and provide new tools and features for engagement and knowledge sharing. Stay tuned for more details on these exciting changes.

As we embark on our journey into the next decade, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have been a part of our community. Your support, feedback, and engagement have been the driving force behind our accomplishments. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of what is possible, and I am excited to see where the next ten years will take us.

Here’s to a future filled with even more groundbreaking discoveries, meaningful collaborations, and an unwavering commitment to the pursuit of knowledge.

Thank you for being an integral part of Paradigm’s incredible journey.

With sincere gratitude and anticipation,

Sasha Shilina,

Head of Paradigm Research
