BlockDAG Confirms Antony Turner as CEO and Founder, Clarifying Leadership Versus Ownership

The project breaks crypto’s anonymity norm by publicly naming its leader, with legal ownership and governance documents still undisclosed.

Overview

  • Turner is listed across BlockDAG’s official materials as CEO and Founder, establishing a public point of accountability for the protocol.
  • Reporting distinguishes Turner’s executive role from legal control, noting no public confirmation of a single legal owner or full corporate filings.
  • BlockDAG’s presale has surpassed $430 million raised with more than 27 billion coins sold across 31 batches, with the current batch priced at $0.0015 per recent coverage.
  • According to briefings, Turner oversees audit scoping and approvals, miner deployment planning, and testnet validation thresholds, while engineering teams lead day-to-day development.
  • The company says governance will transition to token holders and validators over time, though a comprehensive public charter and on-chain voting framework have not yet been released.
