Very interesting! We recently implemented some ML models in our company and have been thinking about applying them in crypto. Do you have experience in this area?

I'm curious about the scales you're working with. Are you processing millions of transactions daily, or is it more manageable than that?

Looking for a Lead Data Scientist rather than a Data Scientist implies that you already have a data scientist working for you. What other roles related to data does the team have?
