Luke Riley is Head of Innovation at Quant with eight years’ experience translating distributed ledger research into practical interoperability solutions, most notably the Overledger API DLT Gateway that unifies access and data models across blockchains. He leads R&D to bridge Ethereum, Corda, Bitcoin, Substrate, Solana, Hyperledger and other ledgers while driving global standardisation through roles at ISO TC307, INATBA and contributions to the IETF Secure Asset Transfer Protocol. A PhD-trained researcher and former KCL module leader, he blends academic rigor in multi-agent systems with hands-on product delivery and standards advocacy. His background includes CTO and advisory roles applying DLT to industry domains such as construction and laboratory automation, reflecting a knack for pragmatic integration. Recognised as a UK blockchain industry influencer, he focuses on making complex distributed systems simple and interoperable for enterprise adoption. An underappreciated thread in his work is the long-term interest in connecting multi-agent systems theory to practical DLT interoperability, a line he has pursued since 2019.
