Caspar Schwarz-Schilling

Caspar Schwarz-Schilling is a researcher in the Ethereum Foundation's Robust Incentives Group, working on consensus economics: reorg attacks and defenses, proposer incentives, and the timing games that shape validator behavior under proof of stake. He also has an academic background in economic modeling, affiliated with the University of Zurich. In 2026 he joined Ansgar Dietrichs and three other former Foundation researchers in co-founding Ethlabs, a new organization built to carry forward the protocol research the Foundation is stepping back from.
