On joining IOTA

I always wanted to be part of something that would change the world. I believe that what we are doing at IOTA may indeed change it. I’m so excited that everything that IOTA does is released as an open-source. Let’s start the revolution!

We are very happy to officially announce Krzysztof Taraszka joining the project. His technical background and experience will help in advancing the work of the IOTA Foundation. Give him a warm welcome!
