Senior🎓
Top SchoolRafał Kiełbus is a seasoned blockchain technologist and CTO with 13+ years of hands-on experience dating back to early Bitcoin days, combining core protocol development, smart contract auditing, and product-grade blockchain engineering. He has led tokenization, hardware wallet development, and bespoke blockchain projects across startups and consultancies while contributing to notable open-source work such as p2pool (peer-to-peer Bitcoin mining pool) to improve cross-currency compatibility and UX.
