I worked in silicon cryptography industry successfully for over a decade but since 2021 transitioned into incentives mechanisms research combining cryptography, operations research, economics, and game theory. It's been a fun ride. Most recently I have been enjoying the acceleration of "unclouding" of traditional megalithic cloud services. 😶‍🌫️

Alejandro Ranchal-Pedrosa is a Senior Protocol Researcher at scroll.io, working on improving the security, scalability and cost of the scroll ZK-Rollup for Ethereum. Prior to Scroll, Alejandro worked as a Protocol Researcher at Protocol Labs, primarily focused on providing faster finality for Filecoin through a novel architecture for longest-chain blockchains and a novel BFT consensus protocol designed for fast finality in open systems (F3 and GossiPBFT). At Protocol Labs, Alejandro also worked on providing crypto economic guarantees to Filecoin’s user-spawned subnets that interoperate in the Filecoin ecosystem (IPC), and on designing and implementing a framework for SMR systems (Mir). Before Protocol Labs, Alejandro worked at CEA Paris proposing protocols for scaling payment channels networks, as well as at IMT Paris and UAB Barcelona, where he found two critical attacks common to the Lightning Network and all its implementations. During his PhD at the University of Sydney, he worked on scaling Blockchains through subnets, increasing Blockchains' security through novel faults and game theoretical models, and enhancing Blockchains' decentralization via committee sortition proposing novel random beacon protocols, under the supervision of Vincent Gramoli.

I design blockchain mechanisms that internalize systemically important roles — like market making and intent solving — within the protocol. These roles should be transparent, auditable, and accessible through on-chain logic — not reserved for privileged actors with reputation, capital, or off-chain influence.

My approach is what I call social mechanism design: engineering systems that allow participants to take on societal and economic responsibility without assuming user asymmetry. Too often, constraints are placed on users simply to make protocols easier to design — but those constraints create gatekeeping and fragility. I aim to reverse that logic.

With over a decade in financial engineering and risk management, my current work at Project Blanc and ChainSafe focuses on building intent-based infrastructure and solver networks. I see efficient, trust-producing markets not as a byproduct — but as a shared responsibility that must be embedded into protocol design.

Odysseas first encountered blockchains back in 2016, while still studying for his Diploma in Electrical Engineering in the University of Patras, Greece. At the time, his research interests lay in the area of IoT and smart sensors, so he authored a few papers on how IOTA ( a DLT for IoT at the time) could be used in agriculture IoT to tap into the market of sensor data. Afterwards, he worked in the area of IoT DevOps and Infrastructure Monitoring, as product and later DevRel, in startups that are considered innovators in their areas. After reading The Sovereign Individual in late 2021, he concluded that his passion was blockchains, a piece of technology with deep political and societal externalities. After spending a sabbatical deep in protocol research, he started working in Nomad as one of the three protocol engineers, and then the hack happened. The Nomad hack was a deeply formative experience, as he saw first hand what it means to be in a war room, mitigate the hacker’s attack, and talk with affected users. Due to his DevOps and Protocol background, he was able to see what was missing from the Security space, and a while after he left to start working on Phylax, which after a few months of coding and research, managed to fundraise for. His drive for security is his fundamental belief that security is one of the biggest challenges that our industry faces. The proliferation of hacks is one of the core attributes that is blocking the space from reaching escape velocity in terms of adoptions, as also serves as never-ending ammunition for regulators in their effort for a crackdown. He is building Phylax cause he wants to solve security in crypto, and he wants to solve security so that crypto can win. And if crypto wins, then everyone, institutions and everyday people alike, can deploy capital with confidence, creating a global financial system that is a little bit less opaque and a little bit more accessible.

I'm a Research Engineer mostly interested in designing practical, full-featured, composable, and configurable fault-tolerant replication systems, as well as exploring clear and expressive ways to implement them. I'm also enthusiastic about exploring alternative programming models for distributed computing. I think that decentralized Byzantine-fault tolerant mechanisms should dominate in future computing systems, and I'm very excited about working towards that.

I like to think of myself as someone discovering smart solutions to hard problems and doing this for the common good. In that, I believe in open source, open innovation and collaboration.

This is why I decided to found Replica_IO, an open-source framework for building practical distributed replication mechanisms. If you're also excited about this initiative, feel free to contact me!
