Description

Howard Wu, Founder, Aleo


Howard Wu is a cryptographer with a passion for privacy. He’s the founder of Aleo, a blockchain built for private smart contracts from the ground up.


He launched it at the start of the pandemic, betting on zero-knowledge tech before most people could even spell it. But in this talk, Howard takes us behind the code - into the brutal rebuilds, regulatory risks, and hard decisions that tested everything.


In his talk, Howard makes a compelling case for choosing the hard path - especially when it's the only one that aligns with your values.
