Neocypherpunk Summit

Luis Bezzenberger is a researcher and developer working at the intersection of applied cryptography, Ethereum infrastructure, and decentralized governance. At brainbot, he contributes to Shutter Network, focusing on threshold encryption, encrypted voting, MEV protection, and privacy-preserving applications for Web3.

His work includes Snapshot Shielded Voting, one of the largest encrypted voting systems used in DAO governance, as well as ongoing efforts to bring verifiable encrypted voting into real-world institutional settings. Together with Universität der Bundeswehr München and the City of Munich, he is currently working on a municipal voting prototype for a staff council election that combines client-side encryption, threshold homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, and Ethereum-based public verifiability.

Luis has presented his work at conferences and events including EthCC, EDCON Osaka, Protocol Berg, DappCon, ETHWarsaw, StarkWare Sessions, and the Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress. His talks often explore how cryptographic infrastructure can move beyond theory and DAO governance into practical systems for coordination, privacy, and democratic participation.
