Bill "Schreck" Schreckenstein has joined the Qubic Grants Program Committee. Bill has an impressive career spanning over 24 years in the IT industry, and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in web3, blockchain, distributed storage, and cybersecurity. 

His leadership role as Manager of Outercore Engineering at Protocol Labs, where he oversaw application development for the Filecoin network, is an example of his passion for shaping the future of decentralised technologies. You can connect with Bill on LinkedIn or X.

Why Bill Is a Perfect Fit for the Qubic Grants Program Committee

Bill’s extensive background aligns perfectly with the goals and mission of the Qubic Grants Program Committee, where we aim to facilitate the development of high quality smart contracts and solutions in order to create a vibrant, growing ecosystem. 

As a key player in the Filecoin ecosystem, Bill has helped develop scalable, distributed storage solutions that are now integral to many web3 applications. His understanding of both the technical and business sides of blockchain technology makes him highly qualified to evaluate and support projects that seek Qubic funding.

Bill is deeply passionate about making blockchain accessible to both users and enterprises. As a mentor and educator, he consistently shares his knowledge to accelerate wider adoption of web3 and blockchain technologies. 

His ability to bridge the gap between technical innovation and enterprise solutions will be invaluable as Qubic continues to support projects that challenge what is possible in Liquidity Pools, Name Service, Derivatives Contracts, Token Insurance, and more.

Bill’s Vision for Blockchain Adoption

Bill expressed his enthusiasm for joining the committee, "There is so much potential in the space, but I feel that a lack of foresight around web2 and enterprise integrations makes it a bit difficult to prosper. My role at Filecoin was to help figure out enterprise solutions, and I’m excited to bring that experience to Qubic, helping drive wider adoption. That was one of the reasons I was bought into Filecoin: to help them figure out the enterprise space and build the right solutions to garner traffic."

Bill believes blockchain is at an important moment, “My goal is to push enterprise and even SMB adoption of the (blockchain) technology as I feel it’s the next natural iteration, much like the public cloud awakening we have seen (over) the last 15 years.”

A Key Advocate for Web3 and Beyond

In addition to his work at Protocol Labs, Bill is currently leading his own stealth startup, where he’s continuing his mission to build innovative solutions within the web3 and blockchain space. His commitment to pushing the limits of what’s possible within areas such as decentralised storage, smart contracts, and cybersecurity is exactly what the Qubic Grants Program Committee looks for in its members.

Bill is excited to contribute to Qubic’s mission of facilitating the building of new and innovative projects, and growing the Qubic ecosystem, through its grants program. His track record of delivering technical and business success across industries is a perfect match for Qubic.

Welcome to the team, Bill. We look forward to your insights and leadership as we continue to grow and support the Qubic community.
