Interview with Aasif Shah - CEO & Co-Founder at Epillo Health Systems OÜ

Press Release • November 9, 2022

Epillo Health Systems OÜ is a company focused on consumer health and fitness solutions. Through the implementation of blockchain technology, IoT, artificial intelligence and Web 3.0, the Epillo group aims to reduce the healthcare barriers and provide quality care, increase efficiency and access to care, and improve patient satisfaction to redefine the next era of this industry.

 

On October 30th 2022, the company will launch an early bird sale of the EPILLO token . This is an opportunity to enter the vast and futuristic Epillo ecosystem and contribute to their future developments. During an exclusive interview, Aasif Shad, CEO and Co-Founder of Epillo Health Systems, shared insightful information regarding the future of the company and its stand towards blockchain technology in the health and fitness industry:


Do you think blockchain technology can improve the way we process health information?

I think the implementation of blockchain technology in healthcare is the need of the hour, as it can precisely enhance the efficiency, security, and transparency of peer-to-peer health information exchange with data protection and the right to be forgotten.

Blockchain can maintain the integrity of health records while establishing a single point of truth allowing all the stakeholder to store and access crucial health information on the chain backed by cryptographic guarantees. As of today, Blockchain technology is greatly underutilized in the healthcare industry, globally. From data privacy to transparency, security or swift transaction processing, blockchain technology has an enormous scope. As the blockchain-based health and fitness integration ecosystem continues to grow, Epillo Health System will remain at the center with its own developments in this industry: its Blockchain-connected Smart wearable devices and NFT-based Health Data storage.


How do you think FitMint Wear will impact the health and fitness industry?


The concept of health based smartwatches was to bring a positive change in the fitness industry, and it did, although to a certain limit. Where on one hand health & fitness based smart watches created awareness about the importance of health & fitness metrics, such as Steps count, Calories, Heart rate, SpO2, ECG, BP and how users can keep fit by monitoring these metrics, on the other hand they failed to deliver accurate results, to protect privacy and security of users’ healthdata, and to give users a reason to workout.

This is where FitMint Wear comes into the picture and focuses on delivering the most secure smart wearable range that users can rely upon, protecting the privacy and security of users’ health data with blockchain technology, encouraging users to stay fit with NFT gaming, incentivizing users with our Decentralised Finance (DeFi) protocols and much more. So, as we take on all these challenges that users have been facing, we believe FitMint Wear will impact the health and fitness industry quite positively. 


What type of products are you planning on adding to the marketplace for FitMint wear?

For the smartwatch users, our marketplace will have a huge variety of health and wellness based products and services including Personal care products, fitness products, Nutraceuticals, Health-Food products, Medical Aids & Devices, Genomics testing (DNA) & Clinical testing kits, Global Health Consultations, and more. We are also planning to include Global Health insurances for our FitMint smartwatch users community in the second phase.


The gamification of physical activity sounds great, but how do you plan to sustain it in the long run? How will the token maintain its value in time if people can easily mint it by working out?

Well, the gamification is not as easy and simple as it sounds. We have divided the whole game into 3 badges, which, in layman’s language, decides the difficulty level. Each badge consists of 25 levels that the user needs to complete before upgrading to another badge. Users can spend the earned EPILLO token inside the app for availing NFT upgrades, higher rewards cap, availing products and services, and much more. So, the whole concept and tokenomics of gamification is quite sustainable and engaging for the longer run. 


Also, It would be unfair if we assume the value of the EPILLO token will solely depend upon Gamification. The tokenomics of EPILLO was curated by seasoned crypto veterans. The value of EPILLO will depend upon several aspects as it aims to create a sustainable economy by offering multiple utilities in the entire Epillo Health Ecosystem while aligning the incentives for all the stakeholders of the system- community builders, developers, and investors. 


What will be the initial price of the Epillo token, and will it gain value over time?

The initial listing price of EPILLO Token will be $ 0.82. However, if you participate in the ongoing private sale of EPILLO Token, you can get it at a discount of 33% from its premium listing original price. The private sale will last till November 14th, 2022. During the sale you can purchase EPILLO Tokens for $ 0.55. 


We believe that EPILLO Token will gain value over time, as it does not represent just a decentralized currency but a whole decentralized healthcare system, which is going to completely change the way you interact with healthcare services. EPILLO Token is solving some of the most crucial problems in healthcare while also revolutionizing it. And we should not overlook how rapidly the healthcare industry is growing. The global healthcare services market size is $7548.52 billion, which is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%.


When do you expect for the FitMint Wear to be available for purchase? Price? Where to buy? And will the app be available as well?

Expecting would not be the right word here, as you will be able to pre-book your FitMint Wear pro from the first week of December 2022. For the price, I would rather keep it a surprise, which will be revealed at the pre-booking event of FitMint Wear Pro, but it will range between $150-$200 depending on the device and NFT variant.  You can simply order your FitMint Wear smartwatch from our website, which is www.epillo.io. And the FitMint Wear Dapp will be available as well in the first week of December for closed beta testing in our community. 


Is Epillo Health planning on developing other blockchain-based devices for the health and fitness industry?

Yes, our team is constantly working on developing more devices offering a combination of IOT, Health Metrics & Blockchain for the FitMint smart wearables range. We are also working adding more and more products and services to the Epillo Health ecosystem.


Can you share any other exciting news for the near future?

Well, we are going to ship the first blockchain-based smartwatches to our community by the end of 2022 and open the product for worldwide shipping thereafter. In the pipeline are new models in the blockchain based smart wearable range and new health products and services. However, to know more about the projects we will be launching in the near future, the readers can always check the timeline in our website, www.epillo.io.

Samuel Drnda Rejects Multi-Million Dollar Acquisition Offers - Staying Independent to Build the Future of Decentralized Trading

By Press Release • November 3, 2025
In an era where billion-dollar acquisitions reshape the trading landscape, Samuel Drnda , founder and CEO of HyroTrader , made a bold and defining decision — he refused multiple acquisition offers worth tens of millions of dollars , choosing vision, innovation, and independence over a lucrative exit.  The offers followed the high-profile acquisition of Breakout by Kraken , one of HyroTrader’s main competitors. Shortly after, Drnda was approached by two of the world’s largest forex prop trading firms and one of the biggest global crypto exchanges , each seeking to fully acquire and absorb HyroTrader’s rapidly growing trading ecosystem. “Each offer had the same condition — total control,” said Drnda. “They wanted to buy everything we’ve built and integrate it into their structure. But HyroTrader was never built to be sold. It was built to change how the prop trading industry works.” A Vision Too Big to Sell Founded in 2020 , HyroTrader quickly evolved from a trading platform into one of the fastest-growing crypto prop trading firms in the world , empowering over 30,000 active traders and achieving consistent month-over-month growth. By 2024, HyroTrader was featured multiple times as the “Best Crypto Prop Firm” by leading trading and fintech media outlets — a recognition that reflected both its innovation and trader-first approach. Today, HyroTrader is setting a new global standard with Hyro Protocol , the first decentralized, non-custodial crypto prop trading infrastructure built on Solana . “From day one, our vision was to build a decentralized prop firm connected to multiple trading exchanges — a true on-chain ecosystem where traders, investors, and liquidity providers interact transparently,” said Drnda. “We’re not just another prop firm. We’re creating the infrastructure for the next generation of crypto prop trading firms.” From Bootstrap to Billion-Dollar Vision HyroTrader’s rise is even more remarkable because it was built entirely without venture capital. “In the early days, no VC wanted to invest even $200,000. We decided to bootstrap everything from scratch,” said Drnda. “Now, the same institutions that once ignored us are offering tens of millions to acquire us. That’s the power of staying true to your mission.” Today, HyroTrader operates profitably and independently, already valued in the hundreds of millions and on track toward becoming the first decentralized billion-dollar prop trading ecosystem . Beyond Money: The Power of Purpose Despite the life-changing offers, Drnda’s decision to remain independent was rooted in conviction, not calculation. “I come from a middle-class family — the offers I received would have changed my life,” he said. “But I’ve already achieved more than I ever dreamed of. At this stage, it’s not about money; it’s about building something meaningful with people I believe in and creating real impact for traders worldwide.” After the refusal, Drnda earned even greater respect from the HyroTrader team , partners , and trading community , strengthening the company’s culture of purpose-driven innovation. “Many founders dream of an exit. I dream of evolution — of building a decentralized, transparent, and trader-owned future.” The Next Phase: Hyro Protocol With Hyro Protocol , Drnda and his team are developing the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms . Built on Solana , the protocol will connect multiple trading exchanges into one unified infrastructure, allowing traders, investors, and liquidity providers to interact seamlessly and verifiably on-chain. “Our mission is to democratize access to trading capital, remove intermediaries, and empower traders globally,” said Drnda. “Hyro Protocol isn’t just another product — it’s the infrastructure that will power the decentralized trading economy.” About HyroTrader HyroTrader is one of the fastest-growing and most recognized crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering more than 30,000 traders with performance-based funding and transparent trading conditions. Featured multiple times as the “Best Crypto Prop Firm,” HyroTrader is now building Hyro Protocol — the first decentralized, non-custodial, multi-exchange trading infrastructure on Solana . Founded by Samuel Drnda in 2020, HyroTrader’s mission is to democratize access to trading capital and build the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.
