Francesco Madonna is the founder of BitVault, a Bitcoin security company based in Switzerland. His work focuses on closing the security gap in self-custody: protecting Bitcoin holders against theft, coercion and loss of access while preserving their sovereignty. He works on security architectures combining multisignature authorization, time delays and recovery mechanisms, including the B-SSL.com research solving the problem of the total loss of the keys in non-custodial. His focus is making self-custody practical for individuals, families and institutions, with security designed around human vulnerabilities.
