Adrian wrote his graduate thesis on censorship-resistant e-voting on Ethereum in 2016. In early 2017 he joined Cosmos as the 3rd core dev and built out the Cosmos stack. Before Anoma & Namada, Adrian co-founded with Awa and Christopher Cryptium Labs, one of the the first PoS validators in the world (acquired) and Metastate, an R&D org that focused on distributed systems, cryptography as well as PLT.
