The Biography

The full account.

Heslin Kim spoke at Proof of Talk Paris 2026 as co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Zenith. A Zenith announcement published in September 2026 identified him with that full title when the company joined the DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group. The announcement described the working group as a forum for market participants to contribute to the design and testing of tokenisation infrastructure.

Kim’s affiliation was listed by the organiser of The Capital Summit Tokyo. Its report of 27 July 2026 listed him as Zenith co-founder and CBO on a panel about privacy and compliance for institutional onchain activity. A separate partner announcement from Pagrin also used the co-founder and CBO title and described integrating rewards infrastructure with the Zenith Stack. Zenith’s published materials describe infrastructure connecting Ethereum-compatible application development with the Canton ecosystem. Zenith’s work centres on how institutions deploy applications, preserve operational controls and connect with other financial infrastructure within the Canton ecosystem. Kim’s June appearance in Paris took the same institutional deployment problem as its session title. In the September announcement, Kim described his working-group participation as a contribution to tokenisation, interoperability and digital-market infrastructure.

At Proof of Talk Paris 2026, Heslin Kim took part in the panel "How Regulated Institutions Deploy on Canton" on 3 June. The session ran from 12:45 to 13:15 on the Taostats Stage at the Louvre Palace. The programme also listed Luca Burlando and David Palmer. The moderator was Yiannis Varelas. In that edition’s roster, Luca Burlando was billed with Republic; David Palmer was billed with Pairpoint; Yiannis Varelas was billed with 5North.

The next Proof of Talk is in Abu Dhabi.

Louvre Abu Dhabi, 3–4 December 2026. Admission is by application, and the room is capped at 2,000.
