Current Position
Antoine Poinsot works on Bitcoin at Chaincode Labs. United States identifies the organization’s New York institutional base, not his nationality or private residence.
Background & Biography
Poinsot’s personal account describes co-founding Wizardsardine, where he researched custody arrangements and implemented Revault. He also maintained Liana, a wallet designed to reduce risks of losing funds. Earlier, he co-founded Bitcoin-Lyon, a brokerage in France, and contributed to Lightning software.
Notable Contributions
His website presents Consensus Cleanup and vulnerability disclosures among his publications. It also lists a co-authored custody-risk paper. These references provide a route into his technical record; their listing is not evidence that a proposal has been adopted or that every disclosed issue remains present. This profile does not summarize those separate research works.
Why Katharos.ai Is Following Them
Katharos.ai follows Poinsot because the reliability of widely shared financial software depends on maintenance that may be less visible than product launches. His public record offers a way to examine how developers identify risks, propose changes and explain trade-offs. Reporting will distinguish an individual contribution from the collective review and deployment processes surrounding it.
Areas to Follow
Follow public discussion of protocol changes, implementation review and the practical limits of wallet recovery arrangements. Relevant questions include how a proposed change is tested, whether assumptions are documented, and how operators learn about vulnerabilities. A patch, a proposal and a deployed consensus change should not be treated as interchangeable milestones.
Reporting Scope
This profile covers publicly documented professional work as reviewed on October 21, 2026. Career statements are attributed to Poinsot’s own account; organizational location is not a residence claim. The profile does not assess private holdings, predict adoption of proposals or provide investment advice. Inclusion does not imply endorsement of any project.
