Speaker - Thomas Humphreys

Thomas Humphreys is on the funding coordination team at the Ethereum Foundation, where he works on new mechanisms for sustainable digital public goods funding and expanding the top of funnel for open source infrastructure. His background spans quantitative engineering at a digital asset hedge fund, security focused work on onchain behaviour, and founding roles in identity and payments.

He co-founded Everyname, a web3 identity startup focused on interoperability across protocols, and later founded Monetic, the first onchain neo banking startup building stablecoin based payment rails for merchants and consumers. Across these roles he has worked directly with smart contract risk, identity fragmentation and payment infrastructure at scale, which now informs his work on embedded funding mechanisms and organizational models for resilient public infrastructure.
