Robert Masiello
Co-Founder & COO

In 2021, I co-founded Non-fungible Technologies (NFTech), the developer of the Arcade Protocol, which has now grown to encompass a larger ecosystem of NFT users, developers, stewards, and stakeholders. As part of my duties at Arcade, my current research is focused on DAOs, with a goal to develop a self-sustaining organizational network designed to support the preservation of economic liberties for artists, culture creators, and their patrons from financial censorship, ultimately enabling greater freedom of speech and self expression.

I've been in the crypto space since 2016 having bought my first bitcoin and ether. The excitement we experienced as an industry in 2017 allowed me to persue crypto fulltime in 2018. In a past life before Arcade, I worked in big data, private equity, and at one time even had a bitcoin mine.

Outside of crypto, I also enjoy techno, racquet sports (tennis and padel), and the occasional negroni.

I also collect analog synthesizers, drum machines, and other studio equipment primarily for electronic music production. I'll be posting some of my latest tracks on a new soundcloud soon.
