THE FOUNDER

Yonatan Sompolinsky

DAGLabs was founded by Dr. Yonatan Sompolinsky with the purpose of implementing the GHOSTDAG protocol – invented by Yonatan with his then Ph.D. advisor professor Aviv Zohar.

Yonatan currently holds a post-doctoral position at Harvard researching transaction ordering protocols and MEV.
