Juan Benet

Juan Benet is widely recognized for his contributions to open-source, decentralized infrastructure—including the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), Filecoin, and Protocol Labs. With a background in computer science and a commitment to systems change, Juan has consistently focused on building resilient, permissionless protocols that enable new forms of coordination and knowledge sharing.

At Allo.Capital, Juan applies that same vision to capital allocation. As a co-founder, he helps steward the development of Allo Protocol, a flexible, modular framework for onchain funding mechanisms—enabling communities, DAOs, and public goods ecosystems to design allocation systems tailored to their values and needs.

Juan brings a unique perspective to the Allo ecosystem: one that blends deep technical fluency with a systems-level view of how capital, coordination, and technology can co-evolve. His work in Allo.Capital reflects a belief that funding infrastructure should be open, transparent, and shaped by the communities it serves.

Beyond Allo, Juan is a vocal advocate for long-termism, scientific advancement, and the decentralization of power and knowledge across the internet.
