Anton Bukov is a Co-Founder and seasoned blockchain engineer with 14 years of software development experience, best known for co-founding 1inch and contributing to major open-source Ethereum tooling. He blends deep smart-contract expertise—work on OpenZeppelin token standards, Synthetix gas optimizations, and Hardhat compiler enhancements—with product leadership in DeFi protocol design and infrastructure. His background spans low-level systems and client apps (C++, macOS/iOS) through to backend services and data engineering for analytics, reflecting broad technical fluency. At NEAR he worked on a fully decentralized bridge implementation, and his Dune SQL work shows an uncommon mix of on-chain protocol knowledge and analytics-driven product thinking. Pragmatic and hands-on, Anton consistently focuses on secure, gas-efficient implementations and developer ergonomics that scale across the Ethereum ecosystem.
