Chandler Song

The author is an independent contributor writing an opinion or expert take. Views expressed are the author’s own and may not reflect Cointelegraph’s editorial position. Chandler Song is the co-founder and CEO of Ankr, a decentralized Web3 infrastructure platform. He was a student at UC Berkeley when introduced to Bitcoin in 2014. His previous interests in blockchain, quantitative finance, and AI all crystallized into a passion for the crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi) movement. Soon after graduating, Chandler was working as an AWS engineer when he had the first iteration of an idea for a platform that could provide the node infrastructure for blockchain-based systems in a novel way. He pitched this idea to the Ankr co-founders, and the platform went on to become an early success story in the blockchain industry.
