About Me
I am Oleksandr Nashyvan. I build software: web and mobile applications, blockchain platforms, AI products. My first job was in 2008, and I have not stopped writing code since.
I run Moonion as CEO and CTO. I put the team together in 2011 and registered the company in the USA in 2021. We take small projects and large ones, low load and high load, from centralised and private systems to decentralised and open source, including the ones that need various services and hardware wired together. Our motto: "What we work on today, others will only think of tomorrow."
At 11X Ventures I am Co-Founder & Innovation Engineer: software architecture, emerging technologies, AI, scalable system design. That work turns bold technical visions into products people actually use. Bono is one of them, and this page is Bono.
At Waterfall I am Development Team Lead. Waterfall is a smart contract platform built on a Directed Acyclic Graph with a fast finality Proof of Stake consensus. I sit in the research team as well as the development one, so a fair number of the ideas in the protocol started as mine and I take them through to implementation. Since 2022 I have co-authored 22 published papers, 20 of them with a registered DOI, in venues including IET Blockchain, ACM DLT: R&P, Springer LNNS and IEEE.
Since November 2022 I lead the open source project of IEEE P3271.01, the IEEE draft standard for recurring transactions using distributed ledger technologies. It is the first structured non-custodial framework for automated recurring payments, in a space where trustless solutions did not exist. That work was recognised twice in 2025: the IEEE SA Emerging Technology Award from the IEEE Standards Association, and the IEEE Blockchain Technical Community Region 8 Technical Merits Award, presented at the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest on 15 December 2025.
I am based in Prague, Czech Republic. I speak Ukrainian, English and Russian.
