Our Team: Forging Crypto's Future

Fixing crypto's broken foundation isn't easy. It demands rare expertise: deep financial engineering fused with hard-won crypto experience. Our founders live that fusion. They've seen the problems from both sides – and they're building the solutions.

Jan Pevzner

CEO & Co-founder

The Architect: Quant Finance Veteran & LP Note Inventor

Jan spent 25+ years building the engines of global finance. Think complex derivatives, high-stakes trading, billion-dollar platforms.

Built Trading Systems:

Led quant teams, designed market-making infrastructure (Deutsche Bank), traded at Salomon Brothers. He knows how real markets work.

Scaled Structured Products:

Helped grow Halo Investing's platform to $12.5B+. He understands risk, structure, and scale.

DeFi Innovator:

Saw crypto's potential – and its dangerous lack of rigor. Developed DualWieldSwap and the core math behind LP Notes to fix it.

Jan brings unmatched financial engineering depth. He builds the robust infrastructure crypto desperately needs.

Guyi Shen

Co-founder

The Builder: Product Expert & DeFi Survivor

Guyi brings 18+ years building products and scaling ventures in the real world, including the turbulent crypto frontier. He's a 4x founder who knows how to build things people use (like Save22, SEA's top price comparison app).

Scaled DeFi:

Led Swerve Finance's $1B+ growth surge. Witnessed firsthand how flawed liquidity models attract fleeting capital, hurting real product adoption and user experience.

Survived the Trenches:

Saw countless promising projects crippled by unsustainable liquidity schemes and predatory practices. He understands the builder's pain because he lived it.

Mastered Ecosystem Politics:

Navigated complex governance across major DeFi protocols (SWRV, ESD, DSD, YFII), learning how incentives really work (and fail).

Guyi ensures Exchequer builds practical solutions. His product mindset demands systems where great projects – not just hype – can actually win.

The Synthesis: Why This Team Wins

Exchequer isn't theory. It's the unique combination of Jan's elite financial architecture skills and Guyi's battle-tested product and crypto growth expertise. They diagnose crypto's core flaws with precision and build the robust, sustainable solutions needed to finally bridge the gap between sophisticated finance and successful decentralized products.
