Zhicheng Miao is a veteran software engineer and founder with 18 years of experience building distributed systems, low-level protocol stacks, and blockchain-native infrastructure. As Co-Founder and former CTO of Superfluid Finance, he led development of the Superfluid protocol and significant organizational transitions to a foundation and institutional unit while continuing to steer technical and go-to-market efforts. He combines deep systems expertise from roles at Microsoft, Twilio and Critical Software with hands-on smart contract and full-stack work—contributing core contracts and upgrade tooling to Superfluid’s widely used protocol monorepo. Based in Tallinn, he now focuses on advancing “semantic money” and releasing Yolc, a safe and expressive language for Ethereum, reflecting a rare mix of protocol design and language tooling. Known for a rational, product-driven approach, he favors teams of productive minds and practical, deployable solutions over academic abstraction. An early career in safety-critical and real-time systems informs his disciplined, upgrade-safe approach to blockchain engineering.
