I'm thrilled to announce that I've joined the fantastic team at @Subzero_Labs! This move comes after an exciting seven years at Dfinity. I'm returning to my life-long mission: bringing privacy to the world! At @Subzero_labs, we are building @RialoHQ, the world's first network to offer computation that is both private and publicly verifiable. This directly addresses a core challenge in web3 adoption. Blockchains have demonstrated over the past decades that they are the future of financial infrastructure, providing a secure and resilient platform for running programs. To achieve broad adoption and move beyond the current web3 scope, protecting user privacy on-chain is absolutely essential. Furthermore, private on-chain computation is the key to seamlessly connecting web3 programs to the wider internet and delivering the user experience expected today, eliminating many of the existing web3 pains and hurdles. As I embark on this new chapter in my career, I want to take a moment to thank my former colleagues at @dfinity for a wonderful and crazy seven years building the world’s most scalable blockchain. Thank you!

Don’t miss Jan and Jens on The Rollup tomorrow. Jan is one of the most respected cryptographers alive. Jens helped pioneer ZK proofs which enabled apps like Zcash and Tornado Cash. Heavyweight cryptography convo incoming 👇

Privacy will be the most important moat in crypto. Why? Because secrets are hard to migrate. Everyone is launching a new "high performance" blockchain lately. But these chains are hardly different from one another. Blockspace is functionally the same everywhere. And with bridges that make moving between chains easy, that blockspace is now accessible *from* everywhere. Mercenary users and capital quickly arriving on a chain to farm an airdrop can leave just as quickly to farm the next one on another chain. The reality is that if your "general purpose" chain doesn't already have a thriving ecosystem, a killer application, or an unfair distribution advantage, there's very little reason for anyone to use it or build on top of it. Performance alone is no longer enough. Privacy is the one feature that everyone agrees is critical for the world’s finance to move onchain. It’s also the one feature that almost every blockchain that exists today completely lacks. For most chains, it has been little more than an afterthought until now. Privacy by itself is sufficiently compelling to differentiate a new chain from all the rest. But it also does something more important: it creates chain lock-in. Bridging tokens is easy, but bridging secrets is hard. As long as everything is public, it's trivial to move from one chain to another, thanks to bridging protocols like LayerZero. But, as soon as you make things private, that is no longer true. There is always a risk when moving in or out of a private zone that people who are watching the chain, mempool, or network traffic will be able to figure out who you are. Crossing the boundary between a private chain and a public one—or even between two private chains—leaks all kinds of metadata like transaction timing and size correlations that makes it easier to track you. Compared to the many undifferentiated new chains whose fees will likely be driven down to zero by competition, blockchains with privacy have a much stronger network effect. When you're on public blockchains, it's easy to transact with users on other chains—it doesn't matter which chain you join. When you're on private blockchains, on the other hand, the chain you choose matters much more because, once you join one, you're less likely to move and risk being exposed. This will create a winner-take-most dynamic. And because privacy is essential for most real-world use cases, a handful of privacy chains will own most of crypto.

Short term price moves do not measure long term progress. 2025 was a huge year for fundamental progress in crypto adoption and innovation. We're sharing 9 ideas we’re ready to back that could define crypto’s next big thing in 2026. They break down into 4 main themes: 👇

consumer defi is my bet for 2026 - yield apps - neobanks - payments you take crypto biggest PMF and package it for everyday people

Breaking news: A New journey has begun— I’m now driving ecosystem efforts for @RialoHQ at @Subzero_Labs I’ll be closely working with @itachee_x to grow and support the Rialo ecosystem. After priceless experiences with @SuiNetwork, @chainlink, and @B__Harvest over the past 8 years, I can feel that something huge is coming with Rialo. Want to know what Rialo is? Rialo isn’t just another layer one. Rialo is an entirely different category of blockchain networks that simplifies the blockchain stack and enables dapps to communicate with the entire web2 world natively! Here's what made me feel that something huge is coming with Rialo. Check out the thread 👇

Excited to finally share about my role at @Subzero_Labs after my time at @Apple. I'm helping build @RialoHQ, a network that I've wanted to create for a very long time. Why @RialoHQ? I believe networks should be easier to use and more accessible for everyone. The @RialoHQ network is a thought leading project that is truly focused on developer experience. And that’s because @RialoHQ design is underpinned by the core belief that Web2 apps are the doorway for crypto. We're building a network that supports high‑throughput, low‑latency web3 applications while staying securely connected to the outside world - without brittle, complicated third‑party dependencies and infrastructure. I joined @Subzero_Labs in the early days giving me the opportunity to help shape the architecture and tech stack. I've been able to help build and design the core components of the @RialoHQ network. Today, I'm working with a talented team to create the core of @RialoHQ. I get to lead one of the two core teams, the protocol team, and get to focus on areas I'm passionate about: Consensus protocols, network state propagation and discovery, storage, execution, and many other areas. Plus, I get to participate and lead ongoing research to push cutting‑edge ideas into the next generation of network infrastructure. I'm thrilled about what's ahead and I'll share more as we go.
