Q1. Can you tell us what KNIT Finance is, and a short story of how you came up with the idea for KNIT Finance?
Sainath: Knit.Finance is a multi-chain synthetic DeFi protocol which bridges the gap between DeFi and non-ERC20 tokens.

Sadly in the market there are almost no solutions available nowadays projects are coming up but there are still some issues which we wanted to address.
Q2. Can you briefly describe KNIT Finance's main advantages over its competitors?
