Garlam Won and Nilotpal Mukherjee are the co-founders of Genesis Shards.

Prior to founding Genesis Shards, Garlam Won served as head of marketing at Harmony and head of global partnerships at ICONIZ. He has also acted as an advisor for Kylin, PAID Network, Raze, PolkaFoundry, KPAD and SPLYT.

Won majored in finance at Garlam University. He has worked as an investment banker at JP Morgan and as a management consultant at Deloitte. He covered the blockchain ecosystem as the chief blockchain editor at Financial Street Media.

Nilotpal Mukherjee has held the position of an investment banker at Deutsche Bank and a strategic consultant at Accenture. In 2018, he joined Marlin Protocol as a business lead.

According to the team, Genesis Shards’ goal is to develop a comprehensive market for pre-IDO NFT liquidity and open up new opportunities for the DeFi market in general.

Genesis Shards provides a market for illiquid tokens by wrapping time-locked fungible tokens in NFTs.

The GS token is the native utility token of Genesis Shards. GS is used for Genesis Access, Genesis NFTX and enables participation in the governance of the Genesis network.

In order for GS tokens to become a part of the Genesis network, they must be exchanged for Genesis Access NFTs. The number of tokens held determines the access rights for members.

GS is the native token on the Genesis NFTX platform. The token allows users to benefit from a reduction in swap fees for tickets and access cards and Genesis smart contracts.

Holders of the GS token have certain governance rights with their voting power directly dependent on the number of tokens they own.

The public launch of the GS token took place on April 14, 2021, on the decentralized fundraising platform Polkastarter (POLS). Genesis Shards is a dual IDO on Polkastarter, so the launch happened simultaneously on Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

The total supply was divided between the ETH pool (70%) on Ethereum for POLS holders and the BSC pool (30%) on Binance Smart Chain.

As of April 2021, GS has a circulating supply of 12,030,988 tokens and a total supply of 218,911,248 tokens.

Genesis Shards is a decentralized ecosystem powered by Polkadot which uses nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) as its consensus algorithm to increase chain security. All parachains that are connected to the Polkadot Relay Chain benefit from the economic security that Relay Chain validators provide.

Polkadot's data validity and availability scheme allows chains to interact with each other. The chains are independent in governance but united in security.
