He is the co-founder and former CEO of [EVAA Protocol](https://iq.wiki/wiki/evaa-protocol), and has contributed to the development of lending and trading infrastructure across multiple [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) ecosystems. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-cU394crFTkX6nK0f) \n\n## Education\n\nKamyshov earned a bachelor's degree in Business Analytics and Forecasting from the State University of Management in 2018. He later attended the Higher School of Economics, where he completed a master's degree in Stochastic Modeling in Economics and Finance in 2022. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-8BaAtqXDncm1fpoV) \n\n## Career\n\nKamyshov began his career in 2017 as a trainee at the strategic consulting agency Paper Planes, where he worked on product and CRM analysis and participated in a consulting project involving customer research and market analysis. Later that year, he joined Home Credit Russia as a Risk Management Analyst, contributing to risk assessment, underwriting improvements, and customer acquisition initiatives. He was promoted to Senior Risk Management Analyst in 2019 and to Portfolio Risk Manager in 2020, where he led analytical projects focused on lending products, pricing models, A/B testing, portfolio optimization, and team management. During this period, he also oversaw the development of new lending products and managed initiatives to improve lending processes and operational efficiency.\n\nIn 2022, Kamyshov became a core contributor to Pluto, a reserve currency protocol on the [Waves](https://iq.wiki/wiki/waves) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), where he worked on protocol design and [tokenomics](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tokenomics). Later that year, he contributed to Puzzle Network by developing a multi-pool lending protocol to support lending markets for lower-capitalization assets while reducing the risk of price manipulation. Between late 2022 and 2024, he served as a core contributor and later as a technical advisor at Composability Labs, where he designed decentralized lending and perpetual trading protocols for the Fuel [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) and coordinated their development through [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) deployment. In February 2023, he became Chief Executive Officer of [EVAA](https://iq.wiki/wiki/evaa-protocol), a decentralized lending protocol on the [TON](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), serving in that role until April 2026, when he transitioned to a part-time advisor position. Since April 2026, he has continued to advise [EVAA](https://iq.wiki/wiki/evaa-protocol) while remaining involved in developing [decentralized finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) infrastructure. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-8BaAtqXDncm1fpoV)  [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-TbT5ZJDiDLs2tRJi) \n\n​\n\n## Interviews\n\n### Telegram Mini Apps\n\nOn the Epic Web3 podcast in October 2024, Kamyshov discussed the growth and development of [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) protocols within the [TON](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin) ecosystem, highlighting its fully operational decentralized landing platform, which had amassed approximately 21 million borrowed, and around 7,000 active wallets. He emphasized their focus on security updates, protocol compatibility, and upcoming product launches, such as margin trading and leverage protocols, designed to attract larger users and institutional players. Kamyshov explained how [EVAA](https://iq.wiki/wiki/evaa-protocol) leverages Telegram mini apps to facilitate user onboarding and data collection, noting that roughly 50% of their users interacted through Telegram, which significantly enhanced their marketing and educational efforts. He contrasted their approach with other protocols such as Storm Trade and Dust, emphasizing the importance of token utility, ecosystem integration, and early-stage growth strategies, such as launch pools and educational campaigns, to expand user engagement. Kamyshov acknowledged the competitive landscape, emphasizing the importance of trusting existing user bases and building native solutions rather than copying [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-based code, while expressing optimism about [EVAA’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/evaa-protocol) long-term position as a core infrastructure provider within [TON](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin). Overall, he underlined the ecosystem's rapid expansion, the significance of strategic partnerships, and the role of security and user trust in scaling [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) on Telegram. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-HjQCjdztToe4vM1J) \n\n[YOUTUBE@VID](https://youtube.com/watch?v=qXfdpbubxFQ)\n\n### Exploring EVAA and TON\n\nOn the BlockHash Podcast in March 2025, Kamyshov and Inal Kardan discussed their roles in the [EVAA](https://iq.wiki/wiki/evaa-protocol) project and the [TON](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin) ecosystem, highlighting [EVAA](https://iq.wiki/wiki/evaa-protocol) as a decentralized lending platform that enables users to borrow [stablecoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) against volatile assets such as [TON](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin) and derivatives, with future support for [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) via Telegram integration. They emphasized [EVAA's](https://iq.wiki/wiki/evaa-protocol) uniqueness as the first lending protocol on [TON](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin), its focus on security, its use of Telegram for distribution, and its plans for decentralization via a [governance token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/governance-tokens) expected to launch soon, allowing token holders to influence protocol decisions. The hosts underscored [TON's](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin) potential across [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi), gaming, payments, and [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft), particularly its strong ties to Telegram’s massive user base, which could drive mass adoption through simple, user-friendly financial tools. They highlighted upcoming launches like TGBTC and Athena [stablecoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin), which are expected to increase liquidity, attract retail users, and expand use cases on [TON](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin), with both projects positioning [TON](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin) as a hub for on-chain financial services and real-world payments. Looking ahead, they predicted continued growth in the ecosystem driven by innovative projects, strategic partnerships, and increased adoption in the US and global markets, emphasizing that simplicity and integration with Telegram would be key to [TON's](https://iq.wiki/wiki/the-open-network-toncoin) future success. Both guests concluded by sharing their plans to support new projects, participate in major events, and contribute to the ecosystem’s expansion throughout the year.
