Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFabian Vogelsteller is a Berlin-based founder and blockchain architect with 16 years of software experience, best known for creating web3.js, the Mist browser and the Ethereum Wallet and co-authoring the ERC-20 standard that helped reshape tokenized finance. He leads LUKSO’s protocol design and development, translating Web3 UX and developer needs into blockchain primitives while continuing to contribute to core Ethereum tooling and RPC test suites. Fabian blends a designer’s sensibility from his MFA background with deep engineering chops—authoring libraries, front-end refinements for ethereum.org, and even a Meteor.js book—so he moves fluidly between developer APIs, UX, and protocol engineering. His long-running open-source work on event subscriptions and RPC testing underscores a pragmatic focus on developer experience and robust node integrations.
