Hi, I'm Federico
I work at the intersection of law, economics, and technology, a space where the rules governing human cooperation are being rewritten from the ground up.
The question that drives my work: what does justice look like in a world without borders, intermediaries, or shared jurisdictions? Kleros was my attempt at an answer: the world’s first decentralized arbitration protocol, built on collective intelligence and game theory.
My current focus is on what comes next: hybrid systems where AI and human judgment work together to extend the rule of law into the algorithmic society.
I’ve spent the last decade building at that frontier, as an entrepreneur, a researcher, and an educator.
