Deepak Rathore is a blockchain and AI security leader with over 16 years of experience securing financial systems, decentralized networks, and emerging AI-driven architectures. He currently leads product security initiatives for a Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem, where he works at the intersection of cryptography, autonomous systems, and secure transaction infrastructure.
