In a world obsessed with speed, traction, and funding rounds, venture capital meetings, product sprints, and investor calls, a Web3 founder hits pause. Chirag Jetani, the founder of Diamante, stepped away—not to quit but to reconnect. What followed him back wasn’t just a break—it was a revelation.
The Web3 world is relentless. Founders juggle tokenomics, community expectations, regulatory uncertainty, and the unspoken pressure to innovate faster than the chain next door. But amidst this constant flux, one founder decided to step away from the noise and into silence.
Meet the mind behind Diamante, the hybrid, Layer-1, quantum-resilient blockchain, built to withstand the looming threat of quantum computing. When we spoke to the founder, it was clear this wasn’t just a story about technology. It was about faith, resilience, and redefining leadership in Web3.
“People laughed when I told them I was building a quantum-resistant blockchain. Even friends questioned if I was chasing ghosts. But I wasn’t chasing—I was building for a future most can’t see yet.”

As criticisms mounted—from partners, investors, and even family—he realized he wasn’t just battling external doubt. The real chaos was internal.
So, he did something radical: he left.
For 15 days, the Jetani went completely off-grid, trading deadlines and decks for the divine. His path took him through India’s most spiritual and sacred resonant sites: Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Tungnath, Kashi Vishwanath, and Neem Karoli Baba’s Kainchi Dham.
Each destination wasn’t just a location—it was a lesson aligning with his vision for Diamante!
When we connected with Jetani about his spiritual journey, especially as a founder, he told us, “Visiting these spiritual points not only offered peace and introspection but stood as powerful metaphors that reflected my journey as a founder, revealing truths about resilience, purpose, humility, and the long-term vision required to build something, truly transformative.”
“Kedarnath taught me about unbreakable faith. In 2013, floods destroyed everything, but the temple stood strong. That reminded me: when your purpose is pure, no storm can shake you.”
Quantum Threats and Eternal Questions
Diamante wasn’t conceived out of hype. It was born from a deep conviction: that most blockchains today are dangerously unprepared for the age of quantum computing. And when that moment comes, the stakes won’t just be about lost coins—it’ll be trust itself.
But even conviction isn’t immune to fatigue. And hence it’s called the “blockchains of all blockchain.”

“At Badrinath, I learned divine focus. Vishnu meditated there relentlessly. It reminded me that true builders aren’t distracted by trends, they’re obsessed with vision.”
What does blockchain have to do with Bhagirath bringing the Ganga to Earth? Or Yamuna’s promise to dissolve the fear of death?
Everything, it seems.
“At Gangotri, I was reminded that progress takes generations. Quantum-resilience isn’t about chasing VCs. It’s a gift to those who come after us.”

“Yamunotri taught me that the fear of failure is the real killer, not the risk itself. We build boldly at Diamante. Not because we’re fearless, but because we embrace the unknown.”
In a tech space often bloated with bravado, his humility stood out.
“Tungnath and the Pandavas taught me humility. We let our code speak. True believers are drawn to clarity—not noise.”
The pilgrimage culminated in two powerful awakenings.
At Kashi Vishwanath, where life and death converge, he saw the bigger picture.
“Startups aren’t companies—they’re movements. Diamante isn’t just a blockchain. It’s a shield for Web3’s soul.”
And at Kainchi Dham, where even Steve Jobs once found purpose:
“Love all, serve all. That’s what real Web3 should mean. It’s not just decentralization—it’s democratization. Of security, of opportunity, of trust.”
In a market where founders are expected to stay plugged in 24/7, the idea of leaving it all behind can feel like sabotage. But Jetani’s journey reveals a deeper truth: Clarity isn’t found in control—it’s found in surrender.
“This journey reminded me that stillness isn’t weakness. It’s fuel. Calm isn’t passive—it’s active resistance against chaos,” Jetani said.
In the ever-accelerating world of Web3, where urgency often replaces intention and constant motion is mistaken for progress, Jetani’s journey stands as a powerful reminder: founders don’t need to outrun the chaos—they need to rise above it. Whether through spiritual exploration, time in nature, deep reflection, or simply stepping away from the noise, clarity is often found in moments of stillness, not in endless hustle.
Every founder has their own path to perspective, and taking that path is not a distraction from the mission; it’s a vital part of it. Jetani’s story proves that stepping back isn’t retreating—it’s realigning.
And in that calm space, true vision is born.
