Nicolas Burtey

BuilderCrypto

Founded Galoy (2019) to build open-source Bitcoin banking infrastructure for communities the banking system skips. Built the Blink wallet — born as the Bitcoin Beach Wallet powering El Zonte's circular economy in El Salvador — and Stablesats, which gives dollar-stable balances on bitcoin rails without banks or fiat custodians; launched Lana (2025) so community banks can offer bitcoin-backed loans. He continues to ship the core code himself.
