Our Story

We are a methodically assembled team that blends deep crypto-native experience with decades of institutional finance expertise. Our team members bring specialized backgrounds in DeFi and CeFi protocol design, quantitative trading, risk management, derivatives structuring and valuation, volatility modeling and research, and crypto GTM strategy.

Our founder, KG, spent several years in institutional finance before turning his focus to crypto. He was drawn by a striking imbalance: crypto had pioneered entirely new forms of market infrastructure, yet remained underdeveloped in one of finance’s most essential pillars—risk. The Risk Protocol was created to close that gap and bring institutional-grade risk expertise to crypto.

Our CMO previously led community, marketing, business development, and developer relations at a major crypto network, and grew its user base to more than 55 million and its active developer ecosystem to several hundred builders.

Our Head of Risk served as a senior portfolio manager and head of derivatives at one of the world’s largest quantitative investment firms.

Our Head of Research is a leading econometrician who has worked extensively—and co-authored papers—with Nobel Prize winning economists recognized for their breakthroughs in volatility research.

Together, we are building the risk ecosystem and infrastructure that the next generation of crypto demands and deserves.
