Neocypherpunk Summit

Péter Szilágyi

Peter spent 10 years building the core of the Ethereum platform, helping shape one of the most widely used open-source systems for decentralized computation. Finance being - to him - an unfulfilling topic, however, in 2025 he started working on something similar for the world of genomics. His current project, Dark Bio, aims to achieve openness and composability for personal health analysis: a uniquely challenging topic due to the high-stakes nature of genomic data. By combining lessons from distributed systems, cryptography, and open developer ecosystems, Peter is exploring how individuals might one day benefit from richer, more transparent interpretations of their own biological data without surrendering control over it.
