Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRaullen Chai is a serial founder and engineering leader with 14 years of experience building high-throughput, security-first distributed systems and blockchain platforms from Palo Alto. As Co-Founder & CEO of IoTeX and MachineFi Lab he drives an open-source stack that fuses blockchain, identity, confidential computing and edge cloud to connect machines, people and data—his team’s Go-based IoTeX core targets 1000 TPS with instant finality for DeFi, DePIN and identity use cases. Previously he led crypto R&D and engineering security at Uber and was a founding engineer on Google’s Cloud Load Balancer, blending production-grade systems design with applied cryptography. An academic-trained researcher (PhD work at University of Waterloo) in lightweight crypto and IoT privacy, he still commits to core protocol code and openly hires engineers who can “write great code.” Not obvious from the title: he participates in industry standards via the Industrial Internet Consortium’s distributed ledger task group, bridging research, product and interoperability efforts.
