Mounir BENCHEMLED

Mounir Benchemled is the founder of Velora (formerly ParaSwap), a next-generation DeFi protocol built around intent-based and cross-chain trading.
A builder at heart, Mounir launched the ParaSwap protocol in June 2019 to tackle one of DeFi’s biggest challenges — liquidity fragmentation. In 2025, ParaSwap evolved into Velora, a natural next step toward a smarter, faster, and more open protocol designed around Crosschain Intents.
