Crypto engineering lead: how to find 64 at 63 crypto teams

To find a crypto engineering lead, open the project's page on NAUT, open the person filed under it with a head or VP of engineering title, then confirm that title on 1 source outside NAUT before you write. NAUT tracks 64 people with a current head of engineering or VP of engineering title at 63 crypto project teams, read on 13 November 2026, and 38 of them carry an X handle.

Data note. Every count was read from NAUT's own database on 13 November 2026, read-only. A person counts when their record and their company are live and published, their link to the company has no end date, the company is filed as a project, and the title holds head of engineering, VP of engineering, vice president of engineering or SVP of engineering. The title search matched 82 records. 3 were dropped at the pull for a compound title that bundles a second job, 2 more for a title NAUT stores in a garbled form, 5 because the company's stored description is empty, and 8 because the company's own description names no crypto, blockchain, Web3 or protocol product (1 of those 8 is Irys). That leaves 64 contacts at 63 teams: 55 hold a head of engineering title and 9 a VP or SVP title, and Blockstream is the 1 team with 2 of them. 5 records were put to an outside check for this article, the company pages of Falcon Finance, Reddio, Mira Network, Irys and Li.Fi (Jumper DEX). None of those 5 pages names a head of engineering, so none of the 5 titles was confirmed outside NAUT, and the other 60 kept records were not put to that check.

How do I find the head of engineering at a crypto company?

You find the head of engineering at a crypto company in 3 steps: the team page, the person page, then 1 outside source. Each step answers a different question.

• The team page says who. Every project page on NAUT lists the people filed under it with their titles. A head or VP of engineering title sits on 64 people at 63 crypto teams.
• The person page says how. 56 of the 64 have their own NAUT page, which shows the X handle and which channels NAUT has on file.
• An outside source says whether it is still true. Titles go stale, and company sites rarely list engineering staff: the 5 company pages checked for this article named no head of engineering at all. The person's own X bio or LinkedIn is the better place to look.

Crypto engineering lead lookup worked on Morpho

Here is the same lookup on 1 team, Morpho, the lending protocol.

1. Team page. The Morpho page on NAUT lists Tarik Bellamine with the title Head of Engineering.
2. Person page. Tarik Bellamine's NAUT record holds the X handle @tarikbell, and NAUT has his LinkedIn and Telegram on file.
3. Outside check. Open @tarikbell on X and read the bio before you write. This record was not among the 5 checked for this article, so this step is yours to run.

The same 3 steps work for a crypto engineering manager search: NAUT files the person who runs engineering under whichever of these titles the team uses, so search both head of engineering and VP of engineering.

Which crypto engineering lead records have every channel on file?

23 of the 64 crypto engineering leads have an X handle, LinkedIn and Telegram all on NAUT's record, and 18 of those 23 also have their own person page. The table lists those 18, by team name A to Z, with the title exactly as NAUT stores it. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

None of these 18 records was among the 5 put to an outside check, so read each person's own bio before you pitch. At Blockstream, NAUT files 2 engineering leads: Christian Decker as Head of Engineering and Naji Bekhazi as Senior Vice President of Engineering.

How many crypto engineering lead contacts can you reach, and on which channel?

LinkedIn is the channel NAUT holds most often for these 64 engineering leads, at 49, ahead of X at 38 and Telegram at 35.

4 of the 64 have none of the 3 on file, so for those the team page and the company's own X account are the only way in.

What a BD lead, founder or investor does with a head of engineering record

• BD lead selling dev tools or infrastructure. The head of engineering decides what the stack runs on. Start with the 23 who carry X, LinkedIn and Telegram, read their recent posts on X, and reply to something technical before you send a pitch.
• Founder raising. A VP of engineering at a team that already runs your kind of tool is a reference call an investor will trust. 12 of the 64 titles also name the person a founder or co-founder, as at Solayer and Re.
• Investor sourcing. Before a diligence call, find the engineering lead on the team page and run step 3. If no outside source names the title, ask the founder who runs engineering today.
