Steve Kim, Namwoong Kim is CEO & Co-Founder at Four Pillars. Formerly, Co-Founder/Research Lead at a41.

When I was deeply immersed in political philosophy and economics, Bitcoin and blockchain were a means of resistance for me, and later became technical tools that needed to be analyzed. Although it was difficult to understand blockchain without any technical background, after endless efforts, I acquired extensive knowledge about blockchain. Ironically, the philosophical and economic knowledge I learned in college provided me with opportunities to interpret phenomena in the blockchain industry in a more unique way.

Now, based on these research capabilities, I'm focusing on delivering more diverse values.

Thru is a next generation base layer blockchain: bigger accounts, transactions, and blocks.

Thru is built for performance, no compromises. The runtime can take full advantage of underlying hardware.

Thru will launch with universal basic apps and DeFi primitives, so creators can focus on inventing, not plumbing.

Our smart contract runtime, the ThruVM, meticulously implements the open RISC-V specification. ThruVM works out of the box with the existing Rust, C, C++ compilers and any language that already supports RISC-V.

There are no custom compilers or fancy domain-specific languages. No reinventions, just a robust developer experience ready to scale real‑world applications.

Thru's consensus scales through competition, not accumulation. Operators earn their spot with uptime, throughput, and by relentlessly pushing fees toward zero, not by how much stake they can attract.

We are not building a permissioned network playing decentralization theater. Anyone can show up, spin up, and become a block producer. For Thru, decentralization is a launch item, not "on the roadmap."

The development of Thru is guided by a core set of beliefs:

Blockchains need to scale; L1 scaling is far from over.
Blockchains need to compete with web2, not just with web3.
Blockchains need to make the user the main character, not their token.
Blockchains need purpose, not just ideology.
It's not the beginning of the end for crypto — it's the end of the beginning. The crypto dark ages were built on isolation, distrust, and speculation. We're building for trust, utility, and scale.

The only way out is Thru.
