Antoine Poinsot has contributed to Bitcoin Core, rust-bitcoin and Core Lightning for several years. Chaincode Labs, where he is an engineer, describes his recent focus as strengthening network resilience and improving the security of protocol implementations.
Before joining Chaincode he co-founded Wizardsardine, a Bitcoin security company. That background shows in the kind of work he takes on: the parts of the system that fail quietly, where the cost of a mistake is paid by users who will never read the code.
Chaincode lists the consensus cleanup among the proposals its team has contributed research and design to, alongside cluster mempool and TRUC transactions. The company's stated policy is that its engineers are free to pursue the open source projects they consider most important, rather than working to a roadmap set for them.
