Ex-astrophysicist turned DeFi entrepreneur, on a mission to Transform financial management through transparent, accessible, and secure innovations using his pioneering research on star simulations and techniques in general relativity.

Andrey Stejko is an ex-astrophysicist turned entrepreneur in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, currently serving as the co-founder of Fyde. His entry into DeFi marks a significant pivot from a successful career in astrophysics, where he was recognized for his pioneering research on star simulations using techniques in general relativity, funded by prestigious grants from institutions like NASA.

Before founding Fyde, Andrey’s work in astrophysics led to developments that were instrumental enough to be utilized by NASA, highlighting his profound impact in the field. This transition from astrophysics to DeFi is not merely a change of industry but a reapplication of his scientific expertise to create innovative and secure financial tools at Fyde, aiming to revolutionize how financial services are accessed and delivered globally.

Andrey’s unique background and approach have established him as a respected figure in the financial technology sector, where he continues to drive advancements that empower and educate users, democratizing access to financial resources through DeFi. His leadership at Fyde focuses on leveraging transparency, security, and the inclusivity of financial technologies.

  • “We are thrilled to be part of the inaugural Accelerator Program by Keyrock and Tenity. Being selected from a pool of nearly 200 applications across 36 countries is not just an honor but a testament to the potential of Fyde’s trustless treasury management protocol. We look forward to the feedback we will receive as we work toward our mainnet launch in October” Andrey Stejko - Medium.com

  • “We are more than excited to collaborate with Chainlink, join the BUILD program, and receive support in building and managing crypto treasury management infrastructure — a crucial component in our mission of providing transparent, unbiased data on-chain and in real-time. We’re thrilled to contribute our expertise and function as the one-stop, on-chain treasury management solution for the crypto industry.” Andrey Stejko - Medium.com
