Bolting Together the Decentralized World: Modular Infrastructure for Web3 Scale

Yoon Auh is the CEO of Bolts Technologies, a next‑generation infrastructure company that provides the high‑performance, modular protocols and connectivity layers essential for the decentralized internet. Under her leadership, Bolts is solving the fragmentation problem plaguing blockchain — delivering enterprise‑grade nodes, cross‑chain messaging, and data availability solutions that allow different networks, applications, and real‑world systems to interoperate seamlessly and at lightning speed.

With a career that spans telecommunications, distributed systems, and blockchain architecture, Yoon brings a unique engineering‑first perspective to the CEO role. She previously led platform engineering at a major telecom provider, overseeing the deployment of edge computing and 5G infrastructure before diving into the crypto space. At Bolts, she has steered the development of a highly optimized validator network, a universal RPC layer, and a novel cross‑chain transaction protocol that reduces finality time to under 200 milliseconds. Yoon is a strong proponent of open standards and works actively with the Linux Foundation and the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance. She believes that the critical missing piece for mass adoption is not another L1 or L2, but a unified, robust infrastructure grid that connects them all. At UN Blockchain Week she presents the Bolts blueprint for the physical and digital fabric that will power the next billion users of Web3.
