· FIO Protocol

Co-founded Changelly and built the embedded exchange rails that gave wallets and hardware devices instant crypto-to-crypto conversion — distributing token access to users who never touch a centralized exchange order book.

Changelly operates as a non-custodial exchange service that aggregates liquidity across multiple exchanges to provide users with rapid crypto-to-crypto conversion without requiring account registration. Gladych's work at Changelly involved building the technical integration layer that connected to exchange APIs, optimized routing between liquidity venues, and enabled wallets and third-party applications to embed exchange functionality directly into their user interfaces. This positioning — as an embedded exchange infrastructure provider — made Changelly a key distribution partner for wallet applications and hardware wallet manufacturers. The practical effect of Changelly's integrations was expanding user access to token conversions without requiring users to navigate centralized exchange onboarding. For emerging protocols like FIO Protocol, integrations with services like Changelly represented meaningful distribution — reaching users through embedded exchange flows within existing wallet products. Gladych's entrepreneurial background spans multiple blockchain ventures, reflecting a broader focus on building infrastructure and distribution tools that lower barriers for end users to access the crypto economy across different assets and networks.
