EPFL School Assembly Election Secured by DTOP Blockchain

C4DT’s blockchain-based e-voting technology just passed its first real test “with flying colors” during the elections of EPFL’s school assembly. The innovative DTOP technology called “cothority” demonstrated that it could be trusted by the technologically demanding EPFL community.

Developed by Professor Ford’s DEDIS team, cothority enabled the certification of the election by distinct nodes, operated independently by different school bodies.

Olivier Crochat Joins C4DT as Executive Director

Dr. Crochat becomes the first Executive Director of C4DT. He will work alongside Academic Director, Professor Hubaux, and the rest of the C4DT team to advance the ambitious goals of the Center.

By hiring Dr. Crochat, who holds a PhD from EPFL and has 15+ years of executive roles in startups, SMEs and large companies, EPFL sends a strong signal that C4DT is open for business.
