Marco ArgentieriFounder

Switzerland - Lugano, Ticino

I am a seasoned professional with a deep commitment to the Bitcoin industry. In 2013 I have contributed into establishing Italy's first Bitcoin ATM and founded a Bitcoin cash brokerage service, further promoting the use and adoption of Bitcoin in commerce in the early days.

My extensive experience extends into the Bitcoin Layer 2 community, where I contribute as member of the Technology Board for the Liquid Network, a Bitcoin-based sidechain.

Over the past three years, I have been pioneering Bitcoin covenants on Liquid, deploying user-facing applications based on Bitcoin Script covenants while working at Vulpem Ventures as Head of Products. I am now leading the Ark Labs spin-off to scale Bitcoin payments.

In addition to my work with Bitcoin, Lightning Network, and Liquid, I am an active contributor to the Nostr Core Protocol, helping to advance decentralized and secure communication technologies.
