Dariia Porechna is a technical leader and visionary whose work at the forefront of blockchain and cryptography embodies the very essence of what Autonomys Network is building. As Head of Protocol Engineering, Dariia drives the core technological advancements that power Autonomys. Her deep expertise in cryptography, security, and scalability ensures that the network’s foundations are resilient and future-proof.

Originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, Dariia’s academic journey began at Kyiv Polytechnic University, where she studied Applied Mathematics and Cryptography, eventually graduating with a thesis that explored practical vulnerabilities in encryption standards. Now a seasoned cryptography and blockchain expert with experience at Wolfram Research working directly with Stephen Wolfram, Dariia continues to leverage this background to design and refine protocols that are both secure and scalable.

Since joining the project in May 2022, Dariia has been instrumental in the development of critical components of Autonomys’ architecture, from consensus v2 (Proof-of-Space + Proof-of-Time) to distributed storage and decoupled execution. As the primary author of the upcoming whitepaper, she has helped shape a clear and ambitious vision for the future of decentralized technology. Her work represents not just technical achievement, but a commitment to building scalable, secure, and decentralized systems that align with the Autonomys philosophy of inclusion and participation.

For Dariia, crafting solutions for Autonomys goes beyond addressing technical challenges. It’s about creating systems that are both human-centered and universally accessible. She believes Autonomys’ technological foundation is designed to enhance security and scalability, while empowering individuals and communities to engage with a decentralized future that is transparent, equitable, and accessible to all. At the same time, it serves as an optimized environment for future innovations and advancements yet to be discovered.
