I joined DAGlabs in 2018, more than three years before the mainnet (or testnet) launched, or the name Kaspa was even conceived. I didn’t invent GHOSTDAG but I did prove it is secure which is why I’m one of the co-authors of the paper.

**Shai Deshe Wyborski Reflects on His Role in the Development of Kaspa**
In a recent Twitter post, Shai Deshe Wyborski, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency community, shared insights into his journey within DAGlabs, a critical foundation for the development of the Kaspa blockchain. Wyborski joined DAGlabs in 2018, well ahead of the launch of the mainnet and testnet, during a time when the Kaspa name had not yet been established.
In his tweet, Wyborski emphasized that while he didn’t invent GHOSTDAG—a unique protocol that enhances blockchain scalability and security—he played a significant role in proving its security, making him one of the co-authors of the foundational research paper detailing the technology. GHOSTDAG (which stands for Greedy Heaviest Observed Subtree Directed Acyclic Graph) is key to the innovative design of Kaspa, allowing it to process transactions more efficiently than traditional blockchains.
Wyborski is not only a co-author and co-developer of Kaspa but also a PhD candidate specializing in quantum cryptography. His dual expertise in blockchain technology and advanced cryptographic methods positions him as a vital contributor to the ongoing evolution of Kaspa. As Kaspa continues to gain traction in the blockchain space, contributors like Wyborski are instrumental in addressing the challenges of scalability and security, essential for the future of decentralized finance.
