§01Bio

Dr.-Ing. Fabian Schuh is a blockchain engineer and entrepreneur based in Buckenhof, Germany. He is the founder and CEO of ChainSquad GmbH, a technology consultancy delivering Web2 and Web3 infrastructure since 2016. He holds a PhD in communications engineering from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, where his research focused on digital communications, low-latency transmission, and constant-envelope signalling.

His blockchain work began in the Graphene era: as a founding member of Cryptonomex Inc. he wrote the full-featured Python libraries for BitShares, Steem, Peerplays, and the underlying graphenelib. He led Python development and advisory work at Steemit Inc., built Streemian.com as a solo MicroSaaS (later acquired), and contributed to early DAO governance and escrow systems on BitShares — including being among the first people hired and paid directly by a blockchain.

Since 2023 his focus has shifted to the Solana ecosystem. He ships recurring-payment infrastructure at tributary.so, prediction-market and betting rails at mash.fun and DeFi tooling through Lucky Swaps. He won mutliple hackathons, is a Solana Security #2 graduate, and a SuperteamDE member.

His two newest protocols interlock. Accord is a Schelling-point arbitration oracle in the spirit of Kleros: randomly drawn, stake-weighted jurors vote by commit-reveal, and voting with the honest majority is the profitable strategy. Riprap builds permissionless mutual risk pools on top of it: members fund a pool, those jurors adjudicate claims, unused funds return pro-rata, and the pool dissolves. No insurer, no reserves, no retained profit.

The current chapter is AI agents: multi-agent software-development automation at chaoscraft.dev and Polycode, agent-friendly payment primitives (lando, allowly.app), and onchain agent tooling — most recently recognised at the 2026 Colosseum Frontier hackathon for building an autonomous onchain agent with the Zerion CLI.
