Cryptocurrency Opening Keynote
cryptographygovernance and risk
Chad Calease designs for failure, on purpose. At Kraken, he hovers where crypto, resilience engineering, and human behavior collide. A systems thinker with instincts that cultivate resilience, Chad champions the Kraken value of being "Productively Paranoid" as both a design principle and a survival trait. His work challenges us to outpace risk, interrogate ease, and own our exposures before they own us, by building with the assumption that failure isn't an if, but a when.
