Sergey Nazarov
Sergey Nazarov has worked in the blockchain industry since 2010, giving him one of the longest-running tenures of any technologist in the industry, which began only a year earlier in 2009 with Bitcoin’s creation. Sergey initially built some of the first smart contracts before blockchains like Ethereum were even a concept and went on to invent Decentralized Oracle Networks in the Chainlink whitepaper, which is the core technology powering Chainlink and underpinning the majority of data transfer onto all chains. After Chainlink became the leading source of all data transfer into various blockchains, it was successfully expanded to become the most secure form of cross-chain connectivity across blockchains for both data and value transfer. Chainlink has so far enabled over $20 trillion in transaction value.
Sergey Nazarov actively engages in U.S. policy discussions around blockchain and digital assets, recently participating in the White House Digital Asset Summit with President Trump and key industry leaders. Sergey also actively engages in fireside chats with government officials, including a sit-down conversation with U.S. Representative Bryan Steil in D.C. and a fireside chat with Majority Whip Tom Emmer at the Digital Chamber’s D.C. Blockchain Summit to explore how blockchain is reshaping the foundations of the U.S. financial system.
