Fabian Riewe is the co-founder of KYVE, the web3 data lake solution. A software developer by trade, Fabian's interest in Web3 was parked during a hackathon in 2019 and within six months he founded his first successful project ArVerify, an on-chain KYC system that saw big adoption in the Arweave Ecosystem. Building on his experience in validation, he co-founded KYVE to build a decentralized archival framework to ensure validating and storing blockchain data works best without compromising security or decentralization.
