About Shahriar K.

From Visa & Mastercard to sovereign blockchain. I build the infrastructure that crypto banks and exchanges run on. GX Bank (gxbank.eu) — Crypto payment gateway for online and in-store. API integration for online merchants. Retail POS machines for physical stores. Any merchant, anywhere, accepting crypto instantly at point of sale. GX Exchange (gx.exchange) — Sovereign Layer 1 blockchain with a custom Rust matching engine. Sub-microsecond order execution. Zellic-audited smart contracts on Arbitrum. 500+ markets. 20 languages. Self-custody. No KYC. Syntic AI (syntic.ai) — A general purpose AI assistant for chat, coding, and productivity. Built as an independent alternative to the centralised AI giants. 20 years across crypto, AI, and technology management, including leading payment processing at one of Europe\'s largest card processors handling billions of Visa and Mastercard transactions daily. I saw how broken the infrastructure was from the inside. Slow. Expensive. Permissioned. Built for institutions, not people. So I built the alternative. We don\'t compete with banks and exchanges. We replace the infrastructure they run on. Open to connecting with builders, investors, and anyone who believes finance should be permissionless. gxbank.eu | gx.exchange | syntic.ai
