My name is Kydo. I research, write, and invest in crypto infrastructures and governance systems.
Currently, I am a protocol researcher at EigenLayer and the founder of Native Labs.
Previously, I had the privilege to contribute to Llama, Gitcoin, Uniswap, Aave, and many other protocols.
I received my Master's degree from Stanford Medicine under Professor Dan Boneh. My thesis was on decentralized scientific funding mechanisms.
I angel invest in vertical-defining projects with a strong emphasis at the infrastructure level. Besides providing capital, I enjoy working with founders navigating (technical) narratives and GTM.
If my name is on the cap table, I am generally active (unless I don't feel I can add much value).
*Being active here means I often have weekly calls with the founders - brainstorming ideas.
