Our team

The people building XDC's quantum-safe future.

A small, focused engineering group hardening XDC Network on two fronts — multi-client infrastructure and post-quantum security — and measuring the results in production.

Our full team roster is being finalised

The profiles below are placeholders — names, photos and social links are illustrative and will be replaced as we publish the team. The research contributors further down the page are real, published authors already referenced across this site.

Research contributors · published

The published research behind XDC's PQ initiative.

Unlike the placeholder roster above, these are real, published authors from the XDC ecosystem whose work informs our post-quantum direction. We link their existing articles rather than create profiles for them.

Quantum threat landscape

Ritesh Kakkad — "XDC Network's Quantum-Proof Future"

Explores the quantum threat to blockchains, the cryptographic-vulnerability disclosures, and why XDC's institutional focus calls for an early post-quantum path.

We're hiring.

We're growing the team across post-quantum cryptography, protocol engineering, multi-client infrastructure and developer relations. If you want to harden the chain that moves global trade, we'd like to hear from you.
