Today, when cryptocurrencies are growing more and more popular, numerous crypto exchanges are emerging as a result. However, as our interviewee, the CEO of Nordom and Moncero, Giorgi Shonia, firmly believes, they are not appropriately geared towards beginners.
That is why he has taken it upon himself to deliver a standout crypto exchange experience and real value while reshaping the industry’s landscape. But before diving into that, let’s first explore Giorgi’s background and what led him into the world of crypto.
Giorgi Shonia: I have always been fascinated by all things technology ever since I was a child. I got my first job at the age of 14, actually – I was really into cybersecurity and wanted to study it firsthand. Afterward, I expanded my focus to front-end and back-end development until at the age of 17, I began working on international projects as a full-stack developer, selling my projects on the American and European markets alike.
But my ambition and passion for technology didn’t stop here – I wanted to do something of my own, shaped by my personal vision and understanding of the technological market, which is how I conceived Moncero – a Swiss-based company that works on providing leading technological solutions for the international market.
Today, I am not only the CEO of Moncero and a chairman of various joint-stock companies as well as recently founding – and becoming a CEO – of Nordom, an upcoming crypto exchange platform that is aiming to change the crypto market game.
Question: What inspired you to create Nordom?
Giorgi Shonia: It all started with a deep passion for technology and a desire to push boundaries. At Moncero, we saw the untapped potential of the crypto market, which was often held back by inefficiencies and unclear value propositions. We wanted to challenge that—to disrupt the status quo and create something truly innovative.
Our vision was to not only make crypto more accessible but to also bring real value to users through transparency and technology-driven solutions. We knew the landscape was changing, but we didn’t want to just adapt—we wanted to lead the charge and shape the future of the crypto market.
Question: What is Nordom’s mission, and how does it shape the exchange’s approach to the crypto market?
Our mission is to build a crypto exchange that’s all about unwavering security, unparalleled transparency, and a seamless user experience. In fact, it is precisely based on our research and understanding of the current struggles faced by new users of the crypto market, who are often met with overly complicated new terms and technology.
We believe that trading crypto should be solving problems, not creating new ones, and we’re ready to set a new standard in the industry, which is why we are doing our best to make entrance into the crypto space as easy as possible for inexperienced newbies.
Question: What key elements make Nordom different from other exchanges in today’s market?
Giorgi Shonia: Well, to expand on our mission, we offer industry-leading security including cold storage, 2FA, and encryption to provide top-notch protection against cyber threats and phishing scams. Also, as part of our trust-building transparency policy, we are very straightforward about everything – security, market data, and fees, which a lot of exchanges tend to keep hidden, using the lack of knowledge on the beginner crypto investors’ part.
And lastly, our platform is designed for ultra-simplicity and efficient use, with 24/7 customer support to answer any or all questions users might have via live chat, video call, or email.
Question: What does Nordom’s roadmap look like?
Giorgi Shonia: We are not shying away from going big from the start, which is why we’ll be launching in one of the leading crypto markets in the world – the USA – but our long-term plans are to cover most regions eventually. With time, we also intend to keep on updating and enhancing our platform based on the feedback we’ll be receiving from our users.
However, our biggest short-term focus right now is to kick off with a Beta version of a Telegram-based Nordom game.
Question: What makes the Nordom Telegram mini-app unique, and what value does it bring to users?
Giorgi Shonia: Among things that set our Nordom Mini-App apart is that it has an ensured airdrop delivery, meaning that players can trust us in being rewarded fairly and we’re not ambiguous or unclear about it. This essentially means that every player, regardless of their skill or experience has an equal chance of receiving airdrop, making it as accessible as possible to a wider audience.
We’ve also focused on creating compelling challenges with enough variety to keep things interesting without being overly complex. To keep the game fresh and engaging, we’re committed to constant updates, adding new content and features to avoid player fatigue.
Don’t believe it? I, Giorgi Shonia, personally assure you that is the case – see for yourself here.
Question: As we wrap up, what’s the one key message you, Giorgi Shonia, want people to take away about Nordom?
Giorgi Shonia: Nordom is more than just another crypto exchange—it’s a new approach to trading and engagement that’s built on simplicity, security, and transparency. We’re here to challenge the status quo and offer a platform that truly caters to its users.
Whether you’re starting with our mini-app or joining us for the exchange launch, you’re part of a community that values innovation and rewards. We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to have you with us on this journey. You can join us here.
