Interview with Łukasz Braciszewski, Founder & CSO Tokenomia.pro
This week, we interviewed Łukasz Braciszewski, Founder & CSO of Tokenomia.pro, about his journey into cryptocurrency and blockchain, his move to Cambodia for its growing digital asset market, and his role in advancing blockchain adoption. He also discusses Cambodia's early blockchain ecosystem, the need for education, and his work on the TPRO Network, a platform protecting investors from bad investments. Read the interview below:
Sumtey: Could you tell us a little bit about your background?
Lukasz: Sure! I come from a technical background, primarily as a system administrator. My journey started at university, where I was managing servers and gaining initial experience. A few years later, I joined an ISP company to work on more advanced tasks, but the real fun began at the OLX Group (currently one of the biggest classified sites in the world), where I could dive deep into more sophisticated stuff. During that time, I met my current business partner, and for the past 3 years, we’ve been developing our company, Tokenomia.pro.
Before that, I had one more job change, moving to a cybersecurity company where, after some time, we pivoted and started creating a cryptocurrency project, coinpaprika.com — now a well-known crypto aggregator. My friend was still at the OLX Group, moving up the career ladder and eventually becoming a Director there. We talked a lot about crypto at that time, closely observing the space and already advising on a few projects.
After my time at Coinpaprika, I became a co-founder of the largest crypto exchange in Poland, Ari10, from which I successfully exited one year ago. When the right moment came, my friend left the OLX Group, and we started building our own business — a Web3 consulting and blockchain development company, Tokenomia.pro.
Sumtey: What inspired you to move to Cambodia?
Lukasz: The driving force behind my decision was the immense potential of cryptocurrency growth in Cambodia. This country is a rapidly expanding market, offering numerous business opportunities, particularly in the digital asset sector.
It has started a curiosity of what can be achieved here. I knew that there were a few Polish people having Relocatify company, that had been residing in Cambodia for several years, and were actively facilitating the entry of Polish businesses into the region.
During our meetings, I shared insights into the blockchain business we were working on, and they quickly connected us with key government representatives. This pivotal introduction led to my business partner and me signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ID Capital, aimed at advancing the development of digital assets in Cambodia. It wasn’t the only important meeting we had; we also met with representatives from Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia (SERC).
Sumtey: Based on your experience at Tokenomia.pro, how would you describe the current state of blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption in Cambodia?
Lukasz: There is a significant need for education on digital assets and blockchain technology. Currently, if someone in Cambodia wants to learn about blockchain, they often have to conduct independent research. There is a vast opportunity for formal education and training in this field, and that’s one of the reasons we are here — to help guide that growth.
Sumtey: Looking ahead, how do you see blockchain technology influencing the financial landscape in Southeast Asia, particularly in emerging markets like Cambodia?
Lukasz: I believe blockchain will play a major role in shaping the financial landscape of Southeast Asia, particularly in countries like Cambodia. Its adoption is already evident in the banking sector, with payment systems like ABAPay running on blockchain technology. Those who understand how to implement this technology have already begun doing so, and this is just the beginning.
The growth of blockchain technology will accelerate as more people recognize its potential beyond finance. Blockchain technology in Cambodia is emerging as a valuable solution for addressing practical challenges in sectors such as banking, global trade, and the agricultural supply chain. It’s no longer just about cryptocurrencies; it’s about leveraging blockchain to enhance the efficiency of everyday systems.
Sumtey: As a contributor to events like EuroCham’s 'Digital Assets 101: Crypto & Blockchain in Cambodia,' what do you think local institutions and businesses can do to embrace blockchain technology and drive economic innovation?
Lukasz: There is tremendous potential for blockchain technology to enhance economic innovation in Cambodia. For example, one of the projects we are working on involves implementing blockchain in agriculture. We are currently in discussions with ID Capital to develop a platform that integrates blockchain into the agricultural supply chain, ensuring transparency and efficiency. This project is an ideal use case to demonstrate how blockchain can streamline global trade, accelerate certification and validation processes, and enhance communication across the supply chain.
Many other sectors could also benefit from blockchain, and it’s up to local institutions and businesses to explore these opportunities. By embracing blockchain, they can drive significant innovation and foster economic growth.
Sumtey; What is your main focus or the project that you are working on currently?
Lukasz: Right now, our primary focus is on a platform we’ve developed to protect investors from poor investment decisions and scams. The project, called TPRO Network, has been live and available on the market for the past three months. The platform simulates various price scenarios based on the tokenomics of a project, allowing investors to understand how a token might perform under different economic conditions. It’s an invaluable tool for analyzing a project’s economics and identifying potential risks or opportunities.
Currently, we are concentrating on marketing the platform, particularly in Asia, where we’ve established strong connections. We are working to expand its reach and help more people make informed investment decisions. At the same time, we remain dedicated to educating people about blockchain technology, especially here in Cambodia.
