Thomas Borrel (Chief Product Officer) and Adam Dossa (Head of Blockchain) are building security token software at Polymath, a tokenization platform that aims to make the creation, issuance, and management of security tokens simple.

In this interview with STA’s Derek Edward Schloss, Borrel and Dossa walk through the limitations of public blockchains like Ethereum for the security token industry, and why Polymath decided to work on their newest initiative—the Polymesh Blockchain. The Polymesh Blockchain is a new blockchain optimized for security tokens, that aims to bring regulatory compliance and institutional confidence to blockchain-based securities. The interview also covers the library of compliance standards Polymath has helped create with ERC1400, and what Borrel and Dossa envision for the future of security tokens—including its intersection with DeFi and “Open Finance.”
