Gavin probably doesn’t need an introduction: he wrote the first functional implementation of Ethereum as well as its seminal Yellow Paper — the first formal specification of any blockchain protocol.

His post on Web 3 in April 2014 (later followed by a less-technical version) defined how we think today of a decentralized operating system: a Virtual Machine (EVM) core working in conjunction with a pitch black dark messaging layer and a decentralized hard drive. This is the stack you can expect to find inside the Ethereum Computer.

Today, holds a Masters degree and Doctorate in computer science. On a personal note, his talk on Allegality and ÐSaaS is easily one of my favourite.

Welcome, Gavin.
