Morgan Rockwell

Morgan Rockwell is a pioneering technologist, mycologist, and founder of Mycosoft and MycoDAO, two groundbreaking ventures at the intersection of biotechnology, environmental intelligence, and decentralized science (DeSci). With a legacy that includes inventing the first Bitcoin ATM and working with the U.S. Army and Department of Defense on crypto infrastructure and environmental tech, Morgan now leads innovation at the frontier of fungal computing and bio-integrated systems. At Mycosoft, Morgan is building NatureOS—a cloud-based operating system that interfaces with living organisms, starting with fungi. Mycosoft’s devices like Mushroom 1, SporeBase, and MycoTenna turn fungal networks into sensors, data processors, and biological interfaces, enabling real-time ecological monitoring, data analytics, and biocomputation. Mycosoft is also engineering bioelectronic components grown from mycelium, such as capacitors, memory units, and energy storage devices, forming the core of a new paradigm in biological computing. Morgan also founded MycoDAO, the first DAO focused entirely on mycological science, bioremediation, and decentralized research funding. Powered by the MYCO token on Solana and secured through Bitcoin inscriptions, MycoDAO incentivizes citizen scientists, funds open-source research, and preserves intellectual property on-chain. Its partners include major mycological institutions like NAMA, Mycosoft, and the Bio.xyz protocol. Known online as Nodefather and as a musician under the name Metaballo, Morgan blends systems architecture, environmental science, blockchain, and AI to solve complex ecological problems with tech rarely seen in the biotech space. His work is driven by a belief in machine sovereignty, scientific freedom, and the untapped potential of mycelium to transform computing, medicine, and the planet itself.

2:15 PM

Decentralized Science (DeSci) is revolutionizing scientific research by leveraging blockchain technology to create transparent, community-governed scientific ecosystems that put scientists and their community at the heart of the process. Bio.xyz is the leader in incubating and funding DeSci research collectives. We bring together successful innovators from DeSci to discuss how DeSci frameworks have transformed scientific funding models, data sharing, and value creation. Join us as we cover how we bring power back to the scientific community using Web3 technology.
