Niraj Pant

I'm a Co-Founder at Ritual, where we're building infrastructure for AI systems to act reliably on blockchains.

Previously, I was General Partner at Polychain, where I led investments shaping the next generation of crypto systems.

Before that, I researched privacy in the Decentralized Systems Lab at UIUC.

I was born in Sydney, grew up in Chicago, and live in New York. I'm interested in history, philosophy, geopolitics, and soccer.
