Dr. Scott Stornetta
CEO Blockchain Co-Inventor
Dr. Scott Stornetta is a globally recognized as one of the foundational architects of blockchain technology. As co-inventor of the first blockchain in the early 1990s he laid the groundwork for the technology.
In 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto relied heavily on the work that Scott and his colleagues did. For example, of the 8 references in the Bitcoin Whitepaper, 3 of them belong to Scott and his research partners.
Scott is widely regarded as one of the “fathers of blockchain,” He has spent decades advancing the principles of decentralized trust, immutable records, and cryptographic integrity that now underpin digital assets, governance systems, and next-generation financial infrastructure.
Note: If you ask Scott if he know Satoshi – He will answer you in Japanese.
