Micah Kershner

Micah Kershner is a payments industry veteran with twenty-five years at Worldpay, FreedomPay, and Paysafe — the rails most people use every day without ever seeing them. At Worldpay he served as Vice President of Crypto; at Paysafe, as Senior Vice President of Crypto & Digital Assets.

He has spent the last decade at the junction where those rails meet digital assets, delivering global fiat solutions for leading crypto exchanges, including Binance and the major on-ramps. It is exactly the seam Byzantine Solidus exists to make durable: where new money meets the old world's plumbing.

Micah is an active investor in payments and crypto, and a former governing-council member of Hedera and Klaytn (now Kaia) — two of the networks where blockchain consensus is governed in practice, not just in theory.
