Blockchain Architecture & Ecosystem Development

Web3 builder with deep roots in blockchain since 2012 — turning complex tech into simple, scalable realities.

I'm Daniele Marco Ronchese — a blockchain builder since 2012 and the CEO of Credit Smartchain (formerly Terracredit). With over a decade in crypto, I’ve led projects from concept to mainnet, focused on real utility, decentralization, and long-term vision. I believe in simplicity, privacy, and building systems that empower people — not control them. Currently leading Lunul, a high-speed, privacy-first blockchain built for the next era of permissionless finance.
