The Tale of Validity Labs AG
Validity Labs AG is an ETH Spin-off and a technology provider for blockchain-based decentralised applications and is based in Zurich. Our journey started in 2015 with the Ethereum genesis block as the first blockchain education company in Switzerland.
While the two founders André Wolke and Dr. Sebastian Bürgel had both been active in the blockchain ecosystem for many years, they got together at Ethereum DevCon 1 in 2015 with the aim to educate a new generation of decentralised application developers. Early ideas and their foundational projects were discussed at the time but then decided that it was not yet the right time for building actually decentralised applications on this very young infrastructure. But it led to the first public workshop in continental Europe in early 2016. Overwhelmed by the positive feedback and yet growing to a company we decided to go all-in on educating and building the decentralised tomorrow. In the same year, André Wolke brought some of the brightest minds from the blockchain community together hosting the first BIOTS program in collaboration with the ETH Zurich chair of Computational Social Science led by Prof. Dr. Dirk Helbing. Crowned the “largest academic hackathon”, this program was integrated by ETH Zurich in 2019 and renamed BETH. Over the last few years, Validity Labs AG developed itself from a startup to one of the major key players in the crypto and blockchain space by building decentralised applications. We chose the crypto valley Zurich as our home base, as the country is one of the best locations in Europe for blockchain startups.
