Previously a jazz-musician graduating Summa Cum Laude from the Royal Conservatory of Ghent, Ilo delved into the blockchain space when he realized these technologies had tremendous implications for cooperatives and art collectives around the globe, enabling new ways of censorship-resistant international coordination.
Since 2021, he has been leading the GraviDAO initiative: a small multichain builder collective with roots in the cosmos ecosystem. The collective hosts a suite of community tools, issues NFT collections, runs a validator and engages in public talks.
