Guy Zyskind is a founder and applied cryptography researcher with 13 years of experience building privacy-preserving systems, blockchain protocols, and scalable data platforms. He led the creation of Secret Network and SCRT Labs, translating academic breakthroughs from MIT — including the Enigma private computation project — into production-ready cryptography and decentralized products. Comfortable spanning research, engineering and product strategy, he has a track record of shipping large-scale data and mobile systems and teaching the first blockchain engineering course at MIT. Guy combines deep academic credentials (PhD-level applied cryptography work and widely cited papers) with hands-on startup execution, often focusing on making verifiable secure computation practical for real-world data analysis. An unexpected strength is his history of productizing research into widely downloaded whitepapers and adopters, demonstrating both technical rigor and market savvy.
