Key Quotes


"Upscale is an alpha monetization platform. If you have trading alpha, you can monetize it." - Denis


"You can never improve your existing processes with Web3. You need to reinvent how your core product works because blockchain wouldn't help you improve by just plugging it into your database." - Denis
