#19 - Tom Bean CEO and Kyle Kistner CVO of b0x

On this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Tom Bean CEO and Kyle Kistner CVO of b0x and discuss decentralized exchanges and how b0x is developing the worlds first decentralized margin lending and trading protocol which will enable decentralized exchanges to support margin trading.

About Tom Bean

Tom has spent over 15 years developing and leading teams. He was Lead Developer at HERE, a multi-billion dollar consortium of German car companies (BMW, Audi, Daimler) specializing in GPS technology, before co-founding b0x. Tom graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in Computer Engineering before later receiving his MBA. He built the b0x protocol from the ground up in Solidity in addition to co-authoring the whitepaper.

About Kyle Kistner

Kyle is the lead author and architect of the whitepaper. MSc in Computational and Molecular Biology. PhD track dropout. Microeconomics nerd. He has been following blockchain with an academic interest since 2011 and has been critical to the inception and execution of the project. He directs his strengths in analysis and synthesis toward decentralized system design.

About b0x

b0x is built on Ethereum and integrated with the 0x protocol. It is the first fully decentralized, peer-to-peer margin funding and trading protocol. b0x is not itself an exchange, but a protocol that can be integrated into the current exchange infrastructure. Exchanges and relays are incentivized by fees denominated in the B0X protocol token (B0X) to offer decentralized margin lending and margin trading services. Assets are valued and liquidated via competing oracle providers. By decoupling the valuation and liquidation of assets from the protocol, the oracle marketplace approach allows competition to drive the oracle provider fee to its marginal cost while encouraging experimentation and flexibility.
