Ethereum Foundation hires Erigon CTO Giulio Rebuffo to lead AI client development

Giulio Rebuffo, previously chief technology officer at Erigon, has joined the Ethereum Foundation to advance the use of artificial intelligence in Ethereum client development. His appointment follows a year of notable staff departures at the nonprofit, which steers the development and support for the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. Rebuffo began contributing to Ethereum client projects as a high school student, participating in TurboGeth, the initiative that later became Erigon. By the age of 17, he was already recognized as one of the youngest core developers for Ethereum.
