Today I am speaking with Mathieu Baudet, Founder at Linera. With a PhD in cryptographic protocols and security, Mathieu has been at the forefront of distributed systems innovation for over two decades.
After serving as a security consultant for the French government, he joined Facebook in 2012, where he led developer tools, machine learning infrastructure, and spearheaded the early development of the Libra/Diem blockchain project. Today at Linera, he's pioneering a revolutionary blockchain architecture that overcomes scalability limitations through an innovative microchain approach. His work combines deep academic expertise with practical engineering experience aimed at reshaping blockchain infrastructure.
During our conversation, Mathieu shares fascinating insights on his journey from studying cryptographic protocols in pre-Bitcoin academia to building infra to power web3's future, including his perspective on how Bitcoin's singular focus helped pave the way for broader blockchain innovation.
