§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 is a Colosseum hackathon winner, a Solana Security #2 graduate, and a SuperteamDE member.
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.
