Sam Blackshear, Co-Founder and CTO, is the creator of the Move programming language—the secure, asset-oriented language powering Sui and enabling Walrus's programmable blobs. Blackshear's background includes leading Novi's Move development at Meta, ensuring robust smart contract safety. His contributions make Walrus uniquely composable, allowing data to interact seamlessly with on-chain logic.George Danezis, Chief Scientist at Mysten Labs, is a core architect of both Sui and Walrus. A renowned cryptographer with decades of research in privacy and distributed systems, Danezis has tackled decentralized storage challenges for over 20 years. His innovations, like advanced erasure coding (including the RedStuff algorithm), enable Walrus's low-replication resilience and cost efficiency—critical for handling large AI datasets and media files.
