From Apple Compiler Lab to the Cryptographic Frontier
@EvanWeb3 spent nearly a decade at Apple before co-founding one of the most watched Layer-1 blockchains in the cryptocurrency space. He joined Apple in 2005 and gradually rose to senior manager, leading the LLVM backend team responsible for static and runtime compilation of CPUs and GPUs, Swift performance optimization, and hardware architecture exploration.
LLVM (low-level virtual machine) is a set of compiler tools responsible for converting application code into instructions that can be executed by the chip. In 2012, Cheng and the project founders won the prestigious ACM Software System Award for his contribution to LLVM, one of the most respected honors in the computing field.
After leaving Apple, Cheng joined Meta (formerly Facebook), where he led the Novi Research team, which is working on developing cutting-edge blockchain technologies, including the Diem blockchain and the Move programming language. After the Diem project ran aground, the core engineers left Meta and built Sui using the Move programming language originally developed at Meta.
Founding Mysten Labs and Sui Network
Mysten Labs was established at the end of 2021 and was co-founded by five senior engineers from the Meta Diem project: Evan Cheng, Adeniyi Abiodun, Sam Blackshear, George Danezis and Kostas Chalkias. They drew on the experience accumulated at Meta and the technical achievements of the Move language, and built a permission-free public blockchain around these technologies.
至今,程仍担任 @Mysten_Labs 的 CEO。@SuiNetwork 协议使用了经过修改的 Move 编程语言,该语言最初由 Meta 创建,直至其决定终止 Diem 项目。Sui 主网于 2023 年 5 月 3 日上线,标志着该协议正式成为公开可用的区块链网络。
自上线以来,该链获得了显著的关注度。程借鉴了 Diem 项目的经验教训,打造了一条不仅速度更快、成本更低,且在底层设计上具有根本性差异的 Layer-1 区块链。Sui 获得了 a16z、Binance Labs 和 Jump Crypto 等顶级风险投资机构的背书,这增强了项目的可信度,并推动了初期生态系统的增长。截至 2022 年 9 月,Mysten Labs 已完成 3 亿美元的 B 轮融资,估值达到 20 亿美元。
程从苹果编译器工程师到主要区块链网络创始人的路径,反映了加密货币领域的一个更广泛趋势:在传统科技行业积累数十年的深层系统级专业知识,正被重新导向去中心化基础设施的建设。对于 @SuiNetwork 及其 $SUI 代币而言,这一背景仍是其故事的核心组成部分。
