When I first read about blockchain (2016), I couldn’t sleep for 3 days straight as I realized that humans could now coordinate and exchange value on a massive scale without the need for trusted parties like governments, banks, and other institutions.
A blend of math, game theory, cryptography, and computer science could minimize the attack surface for corruption. I was hooked. My professional journey in the blockchain space began in 2017 when I joined Animal Ventures. There, I led a small team of researchers mapping blockchain projects, gaining a comprehensive view of the emerging ecosystem.
Next, I moved to Outlier Ventures, where I had the opportunity to invest in and work with outstanding teams such as Biconomy, Fetch.ai, and Ocean Protocol. During this time, I conducted research on the convergence of blockchain, AI, and IoT, exploring their impact on sectors like energy, supply chain, mobility, and smart cities.
Why I Joined Sei Labs I joined Sei Labs to focus my research on ways to scale the EVM across all layers - execution, consensus, and storage. Growing up in Athens, Greece, I witnessed firsthand how trust in human-run organizations can become a vulnerability in democratic systems.
