Written By Abigail Nix

Andromeda welcomes Dana Love, PhD, as its new Chief Technology Officer and Partner. Dana will lead the evolution of Andromeda’s modular Web3 operating system (aOS), advance AI-native developer tools, and expand the power of Andromeda Digital Objects (ADOs) for cross-chain app development.

Introducing Our New CTO: Dana Love, PhD

At Andromeda, our mission is clear: build the most developer-friendly, AI-powered, and interoperable Web3 operating system on the market. Today, we take a major step toward that vision by welcoming Dana Love, PhD, as our new Chief Technology Officer and Partner.

Dana brings more than three decades of experience in blockchain infrastructure, AI systems, and crypto-economic design, making him the ideal leader to drive the next phase of innovation across Andromeda and the Andromeda Operating System (aOS), and our AI and ADO initiatives.

Why Dana? Why Now?

Web3 is entering a new phase, one where cross-chain interoperability, scalable infrastructure, and AI-enhanced tooling will define the winners. Dana’s appointment aligns perfectly with this moment.

Dana Love’s Credentials at a Glance:

  • 35+ years in blockchain, distributed systems, and AI

  • PhD in Economics (University of Glasgow)

  • MBA, Baker Scholar (Harvard Business School)

  • Former executive at Radpay, Blockstar, Lifetoken, Dyme Foundation

  • Technical leader in Cosmos SDK, Tendermint, Ignite, and agentic computing

  • Notable exits: Metacloud (acquired by Intelogistics), Radnet (acquired by Groove Networks)

“The future of decentralized applications demands platforms that are modular, scalable, and developer-friendly,” Dana shared. “Andromeda’s aOS is that platform.”

Dana Will Lead Product and Technology at Andromeda.

Dana is stepping in to lead the full technical stack behind Andromeda’s modular Web3 ecosystem. That includes:

1. Andromeda Operating System (aOS)

A developer-first, modular Web3 Operating System enabling seamless app development across multiple chains.

2. Andromeda Digital Objects (ADOs)

Our composable smart contract building blocks, allowing developers to rapidly deploy no-code and low-code applications with cross-chain functionality.

3. AI-Powered Infrastructure

From smart contract generation to developer agents, Dana will spearhead AI-native tooling that makes dApp creation faster, smarter, and more accessible.

Building the Leading Modular dApp Framework

Dana’s expertise directly supports Andromeda’s evolution into the leading modular dApp framework. With his deep understanding of blockchain, AI, and distributed architecture, Dana will:

  • Advance the builder experience on aOS

  • Deliver cross-chain compatibility through the Cosmos and beyond

  • Expand modular tooling for DeFi, RWA, and NFT use cases

  • Unlock scalability and speed without sacrificing developer control

“Dana’s visionary leadership will help make Andromeda the gold standard for modular Web3 development,” said Mant Hawkins, CEO of Andromeda.

For Builders and Ecosystem Partners

Whether you’re building a Cosmos app chain, deploying no-code smart contracts, or interested in modular infrastructure, Dana’s roadmap is built to deliver:

  • Builders: Unlock simplified workflows with aOS and customizable ADOs

  • Layer 1 Chains: Embed ADO modules for local and cross-chain use

  • Community: Back a protocol led by a proven technical operator with exits and growth under his belt
