From artificial intelligence innovation and global user growth to capital markets and business strategy, ZENO's three core executives share a common vision of advancing the integration of prediction markets, human intelligence data, and next-generation decentralized Super Apps. As artificial intelligence, prediction markets, and Web3 technologies continue to evolve, the global digital fintech industry is entering a new era of innovation and opportunity. Against this backdrop, Zeno Labs Inc., a U.S.-registered technology company, is actively developing AI-powered prediction market aggregation, human intelligence data services, and next-generation decentralized Super Apps through its AIZENO ecosystem.
In ZENO's long-term development strategy, the three core executives undertake distinct yet interconnected missions: Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Leo Cheng oversees the overall technology vision and product strategy; Co-Founder John Paul focuses on international markets, global business development, and ecosystem expansion; and Chief Strategy Officer Malcolm Tan concentrates on AI data commercialization, international strategic partnerships, and capital markets development. Together, they aim to build ZENO into an AI technology company with real users, innovative technologies, sustainable commercial revenue, and global competitiveness, rather than simply another prediction market or Web3 project.
Leo Cheng: Empowering AI with Human Intelligence to Build the Next Generation of Intelligent Applications
As ZENO's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Leo Cheng brings over 20 years of experience in international fintech, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and enterprise digital transformation, with a professional background spanning renowned institutions such as OCBC Bank, IBM, and PwC. In Leo's strategic vision, prediction markets are not merely an emerging digital financial application but could also become an important gateway connecting global users with real human judgment data. He believes that the future development of artificial intelligence should not be limited to learning from existing internet information but should also explore the value embedded in human judgments, analyses, and predictions about future events.
Based on this philosophy, ZENO has introduced Data × Human Intelligence × AI as its core development direction, with SI (Super Intelligence) as its long-term research vision.
By bringing together prediction market users through ZENO MARKET, exploring the collection, authorization, verification, and structured processing of meaningful human intelligence data through ZENO SIGNAL, and combining these resources with ZENO AI for model research, intelligent analytics, and future AI Agent technology development, Leo aims to gradually establish a comprehensive ecosystem connecting human intelligence with artificial intelligence.
In terms of product development, Leo will also drive ZENO's gradual expansion from a prediction market aggregation gateway into intelligent trading, wallets, digital payments, and diversified Web3 applications.
Leo Cheng's core vision is to transform ZENO from a platform serving prediction market users into an intelligent ecosystem connecting global human intelligence with next-generation artificial intelligence technologies.
John Paul: Connecting Asia with the World to Build a Scalable Global User and Business Network
As ZENO's Co-Founder, John Paul Albais brings experience in international corporate management, business development, and market operations, with a professional background involving global companies such as Google, Accenture, Ferrari Abu Dhabi, and Central Pattana.
For John, ZENO's global development depends not only on technological capabilities but also on whether its products can attract real users, gain market recognition, and generate continuously growing commercial demand. Under his long-term development strategy, Asia will serve as an important starting point for ZENO's global ecosystem expansion.
Through prediction market aggregation, international community development, brand promotion, and ecosystem partnerships, ZENO aims to gradually connect users, developers, technology companies, and business partners from different countries, establishing a global Web3 user network.
In 2026, John attended TOKEN2049 Singapore in person, engaging with participants from the global Web3 industry. During the event, ZENO also collaborated with Ultra Connect and Web3Labs on ecosystem events, further strengthening international industry connections and brand development.
John hopes that ZENO will not only achieve continuous user growth but also establish a global community with long-term engagement, enabling users to remain actively involved in the ecosystem through prediction markets, AI services, and the future Super App.
This development direction also aligns with ZENO's long-term business goals, including gradually reaching 1 million active users and USD 100 million in daily trading volume. John Paul's core vision is to guide ZENO's expansion from Asia to the world, connecting global users with international business resources and gradually developing ZENO into an AI technology brand with global influence.
Malcolm Tan: From AI Data Partnerships to Commercialization, Building ZENO's Sustainable Business Capabilities
ZENO Chief Strategy Officer Malcolm Tan is an experienced serial entrepreneur and the founder of Athvision Group, bringing over 20 years of experience in international capital markets, corporate strategy, and the blockchain industry.
His areas of expertise include private equity, venture capital, corporate consultancy, mergers and acquisitions, and digital asset regulation. He has also contributed to the development of hundreds of companies worldwide. Under Malcolm's strategic approach, ZENO's long-term value cannot depend solely on user growth or market attention. Instead, the company must establish its competitiveness through genuine product demand, commercial partnerships, and sustainable revenue models.
Therefore, AI data commercialization and the business development of ZENO Super App will be among his key strategic priorities.
In the AI data sector, Malcolm has helped advance ZENO's ecosystem partnerships with four AI and Web3 infrastructure projects:
ZENO × AIPay Network — Exploring AI data, intelligent risk control, and decentralized payment applications.
ZENO × AegisAI — Exploring AI data, wallet behavior analysis, and Web3 risk management.
ZENO × NodeHive — Exploring the integration of human intelligence data, AI inference, and decentralized computing infrastructure.
ZENO × NodeFi Protocol — Exploring AI data services, DePIN, and decentralized infrastructure partnerships.
Through these collaborations, ZENO SIGNAL's potential application areas have further expanded into payments, intelligent risk management, distributed computing, and Web3 infrastructure.
Looking ahead, Malcolm aims to gradually advance business models such as data licensing, enterprise data procurement, and AI analytics services, enabling authorized and verified human intelligence data to potentially become data products used by enterprises.
Meanwhile, he will also contribute to the commercial development of ZENO TRADE, exploring business opportunities in AI-powered intelligent trading, quantitative strategies, market making, and liquidity services.
In the company's broader long-term strategy, Malcolm aims to leverage international capital market resources, business partnership networks, and corporate governance experience to support ZENO's global development, business model refinement, and long-term capital strategy.
Malcolm Tan's core vision is to help ZENO gradually evolve from an innovative Web3 ecosystem into an international technology company capable of generating sustainable revenue through real products and services.
The Shared Vision of Three Executives: Prediction Markets Bring Users, AI Creates Value, Super App Connects Everything
Although the three core executives are responsible for different areas of development, ZENO's overall strategy consistently revolves around one core principle: Prediction Markets Bring Users. AI Creates Value. Super App Connects Everything.
Under this development model, ZENO will progressively strengthen its ecosystem through three strategic phases.
Phase 1: AI × Prediction Markets
With ZENO MARKET serving as the global user gateway, ZENO aims to connect leading prediction markets such as Polymarket and Predict.fun, while establishing its initial user base, market data resources, and AI service foundation through ZENO AI-powered analytics and the ZENO SIGNAL data contribution network.
Phase 2: Super App × AI Agent × ZENO TRADE
Further developing AI Agents, ZENO TRADE, digital asset wallets, payments, and other Web3 applications, transforming AI model research, market data, and user demand into a broader range of intelligent services.
In particular, ZENO TRADE will explore AI-powered quantitative strategies, cross-platform arbitrage, market making, and liquidity management, driving the ecosystem toward diversified commercial applications.
Phase 3: Advancing Toward Global AI Ecosystem Leadership
By continuously improving its product ecosystem, expanding its international user network, developing commercial AI data services, and advancing the $ZENO ecosystem token economy, ZENO aims to gradually establish a globally competitive intelligent technology ecosystem with long-term value.
Beyond Prediction Markets: Building the Next Generation of AI-Powered Decentralized Super Apps Together
Under the shared strategic vision of the three executives, ZENO's ultimate goal extends far beyond the prediction market industry.
In the future, ZENO aims to integrate prediction markets, artificial intelligence, AI Agents, intelligent trading, digital wallets, payments, and digital asset services through a unified AI-powered decentralized Super App, enabling users to access a wider range of intelligent digital economy applications within a single platform.
For Leo Cheng, the Super App represents an important gateway connecting human intelligence with AI technologies.
For John Paul Albais, the Super App serves as a key platform for building a global user network, increasing user engagement, and expanding international markets.
For Malcolm Tan, the Super App represents an important development direction for integrating diversified commercial services, advancing AI data applications, and establishing sustainable revenue models.
Through the combined efforts of technological innovation, global market development, and commercial strategy, the three executives aim to gradually establish an AI intelligence ecosystem that genuinely serves users worldwide.
Starting from Asia, Advancing Toward the Global Top Three
ZENO has established clear long-term development goals: to become Asia's No. 1 and one of the world's top three AI prediction market platforms, while gradually working toward a business scale of 1 million active users and USD 100 million in daily trading volume.
These goals represent ZENO's strategic vision for the future, rather than market rankings or business achievements that have already been realized.
Under the joint leadership of its three core executives, ZENO aims to establish a user base through prediction markets, enhance product capabilities through artificial intelligence, explore commercial demand through AI data partnerships, and integrate more digital financial services through its Super App, gradually achieving global expansion.
From Leo Cheng's vision for AI technology to John Paul Albais' global user growth strategy and Malcolm Tan's focus on commercialization and capital markets development, the three executives are advancing the same long-term goal from different perspectives:
