Greece
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVitalis Salis is a seasoned engineering leader and CTO with 13 years of experience building resilient, blockchain-native systems from research prototypes to mainnet. As a founding engineer at Babylon Labs he grew the org to 25 engineers across protocol, smart contracts, DevOps, and web services, and led the architecture and launch of a BTC Staking protocol now securing roughly $6B TVL as well as Babylon Genesis, the first PoS chain backed by Bitcoin stake. He spearheaded development of the Trustless BTC Vaults Protocol—enabling Bitcoin as trustless collateral—and is driving its imminent testnet integration with Aave v4. Based in Greece and trained as an electrical and computer engineer at NTUA, he combines deep systems and crypto protocol expertise with a proven ability to maintain high retention and production-focused R&D processes. Notably, his trajectory shows rare end-to-end ownership: founding engineer to CTO while repeatedly shipping first-of-their-kind financial primitives.
