Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPratyush Tiwari is a cryptography-focused founder and researcher with nine years of experience building privacy-preserving protocols and trust infrastructure for capable AI. As Co-Founder of Eternis in San Francisco he’s leading work on forecasting and private AI while framing “trust” as a technical layer for agentic systems. Previously he was Founding Cryptographer at Big Whale Labs and a Cryptography Engineering Fellow at Celo, where he optimized ZK-SNARK arithmetic, implemented elliptic curves and Pedersen hashes, and developed privacy-preserving algorithms for decentralized finance. His research collaborations with Ethereum on practical VDFs and early cryptanalysis work (including a deep Trivium key-recovery implementation) show a rare blend of applied engineering and theoretical rigor. Pratyush pairs PhD-level training with hands-on protocol design, and describes his mission succinctly as “building the trust layer for an agentic future.”
