Maria Lobanova joins Naoris Protocol as CMO

Noris Protocol, pioneer of thedecentralized post-quantic cybersecurity infrastructureannounces the appointment of Maria Lobanova At the Chief Marketing Officer post. This arrival, confirmed in September 2025, comes at a key time for the project, two months after the successful launch of his Naoris token in July 2025.

Maria Lobanova is not unrelated to the blockchain industry. Founder and CEO of Interstellar Digitala public relations agency specializing in web3 projects, it has Almost 10 years of experience In crypto communications since its beginnings in 2016. Her career illustrates the progressive professionalization of a sector long dominated by amateurism: former journalist, she turned to Crypto public relations after helping to organize a private meeting with Vitalik Buterin in Moscow in 2017.

A course marked by major events and high -level collaborations

The Lobanova CV is distinguished by its ability to Create and orchestrate large -scale events Within the crypto ecosystem:

• Cryptospace (2017) : A conference that she founded and which has become the largest crypto event in Eastern Europe, attracting more than 3,500 participants and speakers like Ted Lin (CGO de Binance at the time) and Yoni Assia (founder of Etoro).
• Cryptorunway (Art Basel 2021) : An event combining art and blockchain during the most prestigious week in the contemporary art market, with speakers like the CEO of Raurible, the Marketing Manager of Polygon, and the CEO of Doodles NFTS.
• Gam3rs' Choice Awards (2023) : A ceremony rewarding the best web game projects, during a sectoral boom preceding the 2024 Bear Market, including leading actors such as mythical games, immutable, Star Atlas.

His agency Interstellar Digital has collaborated with notable projects such as Ankr (Blockchain infrastructure) and zksync (ZK-Chain and Infrastructure).

Regular contributor for media such as Bitcoin Magazine,, Hackennoon And Ambcryptoshe has forged a reputation as an educator capable of making complex technical concepts accessible to uninitiated audiences.

Noris Protocol: Decentralized cybersecurity ready for the quantum era

Noris Protocol is essential in an emerging niche: the Decentralized quantum -resistant security. While traditional cybersecurity players (Palo Alto Networks, Crowdstrike) work via centralized architectures, Naoris transforms each connected device: computer, router, server, IoT object, into Confidence validator knot.

The protocol is based on a consensus called DPOSEC (Delegated Proof-of-SECURITY)inspired by the DPOS (Delegated Proof-Of-Stake) but applied to the validation of the integrity of systems rather than to the production of blockchain blocks. The concept: instead of detecting threats After Whether they compromised a system, Noris continuously validates the health of the devices before they interact with critical infrastructure (Dex, Bridges, RPC nodes, corporate clouds).

The dimension post-quantic comes from the integration of cryptographic primitives resistant to the attacks of quantum computers (network -based algorithms, hatching). A precaution which may seem premature-quantum commercial computers do not yet threaten RSA or ECDSA-but deemed essential by certain experts given the migration deadlines (estimated at 10-15 years to quantify the Internet entirely).

The protocol is described as operating at the Sub-Zero layerbelow the L0, L1, L2 and L3 layers, to secure all the web3 and web2 stacks.

A successful TGE and an ambitious roadmap

Unlike numerous projects chaining private and launch reports, Naoris has taken a major step July 31, 2025 with sound Token Generation Event (TGE). The token $ Naoris began to be negotiated at 12 noon UTC on several exchange platforms, marking the transition from the protocol of its testnet phase (launched on January 31, 2025) to an operational tokenized economy.

THE Mainnet is provided for the 4th quarter 2025with a gradual deployment of post-quantic safety products for the participants of the Testnet (which will benefit from free or strongly reduced access via Tirdrops de Tokens).

Why this appointment is really important

The arrival of Maria Lobanova meets three strategic challenges for Naoris:

1. Simplify a complex technical message

Post-quantic decentralized cybersecurity is a set of dark concepts for 99% of the crypto public. Lobanova has proven its ability to make subjects like ZK-Rollups or Digest Sidechains. Its mission: to transform DPOSEC into an understandable story, not only for developers, but also for B2B decision -makers (CTO, business ciso).

2. Accelerate partnerships within the ecosystem

Naoris targets three segments: companies, infrastructure providers (cloud, telecom), and individual users. However, credibility in these sectors requires concrete integrations with established actors. Lobanova, via its network built at Interstellar Digital and its customers (notably ANKR, supplier of RPC nodes for hundreds of projects), can open strategic doors.

3. Structure institutional communication

As Noris grows, she must professionalize her relations with regulators, consumer media, and institutional investors. Lobanova will supervise the Opinion leadership positioning of the founder David Carvalho, the presence to the major conferences (DevconConnect, Consensus, Token2049), and targeted press relations.

Concretely, she will pilot:

• Content strategy (articles, simplified white pods, customer case studies);
• Community programs (Ambassadors, scholarships for developers);
• KOL coordination (Key opinion leaders, crypto influencers) to strengthen the visibility of the protocol.

An experienced and anchored direction in cyberfense

The team: undeniable institutional credibility

The composition of the team nevertheless gives the project a remarkable institutional legitimacy:

• David Carvalho: Founder, CEO, Chief Scientist, more than 20 years of ethical hacker, the youngest EU Ciso, advisor to the nation states on cyberguerre, cyberterrorism & cyberespionage, data protection regulations and cyber risk management.
• David Holtzman : CSO, former CTO & Chief Scientist at IBM, designer of the DNS system, White House advisor.
• Mick Mulvaney: Former chief of staff of the White House, expert in national security issues.
• Inge Kampenes: Former head of the Cyberdefense of the Norwegian Armed Forces.
• Youssef el Maddarsi: Chief Business Officer, CEO of Naoris Consulting. Recognized by Emea Entrepreneur as the most influential entrepreneur in Morocco in 2025. More than 10 years in strategic development. Graduated from Regent's University, Wharton, Insead & Duke. Certified by Yale and the École Polytechnique.

This concentration of expertise government, military and technological suggests an ambition exceeding the simple blockchain project. Noris Protocol seems to aim for a critical infrastructure capable of securing both smart contracts and national defense systems.

Market context: decentralized booming cybersecurity

Noris Timing is strategic. The sector Depolish (Decentralized physical infrastructure networks) has lifted $ 3.2 billion Since 2023, according to Messari, with subcategories such as storage (LEFILECOIN, ARWEAVE), connectivity (Helium, Mobile Pollen), and now safety.

Attacks on the protocols DEFI caused $ 1.4 billion in losses In 2024 (Chainalysis), 60 % linked to smart contract flaws or private keys compromises. The existing solutions, ad hoc code audits, bonuses at bugs, on-chain surveillance, are reactive. Naoris is focusing on proactive validation : prevent a device compromised from interacting with the blockchain.

Noris is distinguished by his post-quantic focuswhile its competitors still use classic cryptographic primitives (RSA, ECDSA), and by its ambition to secure both web3 and web2 (Business Clouds, IoT Industrial).

A professionalization necessary for an emerging sector

The appointment of Maria Lobanova in Naoris Protocol illustrates a fundamental trend: the increasing maturity of the depolition sector. After years of technological promises, projects must now demonstrate concrete use cases, build credible B2B partnerships, and communicate transparently with regulators.

Lobanova checks these boxes. Her experienced crises (Bear Markets, Exchange Scandals), her mastery of institutional codes, and her network in the Crypto ecosystem make her a strategic recruitment for Naoris while the protocol goes from R&D to commercial deployment.

The central question remains: Are companies ready to entrust their security to a decentralized network? The answer will probably come with the first industrial pilots expected in early 2026 and the security audits by third party which will have to validate the technical foundations of the protocol. By then, Noris will have to convince not only by technology, but by the clarity of the speech, a mission that Maria Lobanova is about to note.
