Roham Gharegozlou | The Past, Present, and Future of Crypto | Talks at Google
Roham Gharegozlou discusses his company Dapper Labs, the detailed history of cryptocurrency and where he sees it going in the near future.
Roham Gharegozlou is the co-founder and CEO of Dapper Labs and a leader in blockchain and Web3 technology. He is often cited as the pioneer of NFTs, with CryptoKitties being the first viral NFT project that broke Ethereum in 2017. From those learnings, Roham launched Dapper Labs from Axiom Zen in 2018, aiming to drive mainstream adoption of decentralized technologies and put a crypto wallet in every pocket. Today, Dapper Labs has made Web3 accessible for developers, creators, and users by designing Flow, a decentralized Web3 platform built for consumer-friendly dApps that now has more than 3.6 million accounts; releasing Dapper Wallet, the easiest way to get started on Web3; and launching dApps, including NBA Top Shot (with more than 1.3M community members and nearly $1B in sales), UFC Strike, NFL ALL DAY, Seussibles, and more that are attracting millions to Web3.
