The Founders
In 2017, Saswata had set out to build a data-rich farming application on top of Ethereum, but he realized such an app to be impossible due to Ethereum's latency and scalability constraints. He needed a blockchain capable of providing fast-finality, scalability, and a high-security storage service. Since such a platform didn't exist, Saswata teamed up with Tom Austin to build it from scratch.Seven years later they have built Züs, a high security, availability, and privacy cloud with an ecosystem of apps to facilitate adoption by both web2 and web3 apps.Once just an idea, Züs can now decentralize the Cloud and bring security, availability, free speech, data rights, and privacy to the next generation.
