Multiversx, the world’s most scalable blockchain network, has
appointed Adam Bates, former CMO of Cardano / IOHK, as its new Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) to take its narrative to a wider global audience.

the tourist board – to atract millions of visitors,” says Adam. “MultiversX can already do 72k tps and accelerate throughput of existing L2 blockchain networks by up to x100. And that is a story that needs to be told.”

Only a limitlessly, scalable blockchain like MultiversX with record-breaking tps, that can also dramatically accelerate throughput for all chains, can do this. This unselfish mission resonated deeply and attracted me to MultiversX.

Porsche and Samsung among others Adam was also a Director at the global marketing group BBDO in London for 11 years, working with over 300 offices worldwide, giving him a comprehensive understanding of cross border collaboration.
