Board Associate

About Cardinal Cryptography:

Cardinal Cryptography was founded in 2018 with some very specific goals in mind. First, to provide expert cryptography and protocol design services. And second, to be the core developer of the groundbreaking Aleph Zero blockchain, an advanced privacy-enhancing layer-one blockchain that’s engineered for speed while and delivering efficiencies comparable with conventional web2 systems.

More than 40 use cases are currently under development, showcasing its adaptability across applications from decentralised or custodian finance to self-sovereign identity frameworks and provenance tracking. Cardinal Cryptography is not just a core developer of the protocol: it’s also an incubator of these projects, and responsible for customising the network to enable enterprise use cases that require permission to implement.

The company’s current focus is on building its first partnerships with major corporations: one with Deutsche Telekom makes Aleph Zero the first privacy- enhanced blockchain to be validated by such a large partner.
