After Denver some of the team went to Dubai where they met with Flare and were very impressed with their seriousness.” says Barbieri.

“We’re pretty much a research and software development center and we’re building this SuperApp – the Ēnosys ecosystem - which means oneness. We can see that the crypto space has broken down into silos and we want to bring everything under one umbrella so we can solve the problems together,” says Christodoulakis.
