Hi, I'm Federico Ast​

​

I stand at the intersection of technology, law, and economics to solve one of the digital age’s greatest challenges: the justice gap.

​

As the founder of Kleros, I pioneered the world’s first decentralized arbitration protocol, leveraging crowdsourced jurors to resolve global disputes with unprecedented speed and transparency.

​

As a global educator on Coursera, I have guided over 100,000 students on their digital transformation journey, democratizing access to cutting-edge knowledge.

​

This vision has taken me from the lecture halls of Stanford and Oxford to advising the United Nations and winning the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 'Blockchains for Social Good' award.

​

Currently, I continue to work with organizations and governments worldwide to design the governance protocols that will define a fairer and more decentralized society.
