The Zilliqa blockchain will continue to serve as the core of the Group, providing world-class Web3 and blockchain infrastructure that underpins Group companies, as well as the thriving ecosystem of decentralised applications that comprise the wider Zilliqa ecosystem.
The transition to the Zilliqa Group will establish a unified structure across a range of key industry verticals, incorporating trusted solutions and innovative companies together with the resource base and team that continues to deliver world-class blockchain infrastructure at Zilliqa. Under the new framework, the Zilliqa Group will incorporate subsidiary companies under a single umbrella – including the recently spun-off gaming division, Roll1ng Thund3rz (RTz) – while creating a corporate framework for future soon-to-be-launched ventures across a range of verticals including the spatial web, loyalty, decentralised finance and more. The framework also emphasises the establishment of a unique services layer across the Group structure.
The Zilliqa Group’s transition will be overseen by a restructured board of directors. Mark Hemsley, transitioning from his Chairmanship of Zilliqa Research, will serve as the Chairman for the Zilliqa Group. The board will also feature the continued involvement of Zilliqa co-founder Juzar Motiwalla, who will retain his role as a Director.
Joining Hemsley and Motiwalla on the newly-formed board is Zilliqa co-founder Max Kantelia. Kantelia’s inclusion signifies a crucial development in the transition process, his expertise and successful track record of advising businesses – both inside the Zilliqa ecosystem and beyond – will be instrumental in guiding the future path of all of the businesses that comprise the newly formed Group. Kantelia’s addition will bring new opportunities and drive revenue growth across the Group in areas as diverse as luxury goods and corporate social responsibility.
The day-to-day corporate affairs and decision-making for Zilliqa Group will be streamlined with the formation of a CEO Office, intended to instil a federated approach to the Group’s governance. Group CEO Matt Dyer, Zilliqa CTO Richard Watts comprise the initial membership of the CEO Office, together with Sandra Helou, who has been appointed as the GCC lead for Zilliqa Group – the first formal commitment from the Group towards its expansion plans across the GCC region.

KuCoin Advances the “Menstrual Equity Project”, Benefiting 4,000 Women in the Bahamas
NASSAU, Bahamas, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On December 31, 2024, the “Menstrual Equity Project” , jointly initiated by KuCoin, Global CSR Foundation, and the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA), has made new progress. The second batch of aid supplies has been successfully shipped to the Bahamas, providing urgently needed sanitary products for 4,000 local women and effectively improving their quality of life.
The “Menstrual Equity Project” aims to offer sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions to marginalized women and girls, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the oldest multi-specialty medical organization promoting women’s advancement in the medical field and improving women’s health, AMWA’s mission is in perfect alignment with KuCoin’s commitment to social responsibility.
With the support of the Office of the First Lady of Commonwealth of Bahamas H. E. Ann Marie Davis, this round of donated materials focuses on disposable menstrual pads. This decision reflects the local challenges of water scarcity and high washing costs, while also providing essential emergency supplies for women during natural disasters such as hurricanes and typhoons.
Since KuCoin made a firm commitment to social welfare initiatives during the “KuCoin Green Future Gala” at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in 2023, the company has actively fulfilled its corporate social responsibilities. The “Menstrual Equity Project” has become a key initiative under this commitment.
In March 2024, the project’s first phase was implemented, distributing 1,000 menstrual kits—each containing 10 sanitary pads and 2 menstrual cups—to Suriname, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and domestic violence shelters in New York and California.
The smooth delivery of the second batch of supplies to the Bahamas will benefit 4,000 women.
Jing Zhao Cesarone，President of Global CSR Foundation, commented:”KuCoin has set a remarkable example in addressing period poverty in underserved regions, demonstrating its enthusiasm and dedication to social responsibility.”
Nancy Cheung, KuCoin’s Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), emphasized:”As a global leader in the digital economy, KuCoin is committed to advancing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on key areas such as climate change, health, and education, driving more philanthropic initiatives to fruition. We also plan to expand the scope of the ‘Menstrual Equity Project,’ collaborating with more international organizations to improve women’s living conditions and contribute to global sustainable development.”
