About
Adrien Montfort built the engine behind the first blockchain game to carry official licences from the Premier League, LaLiga, Major League Baseball and the NBA. He co-founded Sorare in 2018 with Nicolas Julia — the pair met at the enterprise blockchain company Stratumn, where Montfort was VP of engineering and Julia VP of operations, and left together to start it — and as chief technology officer he architected the platform through a $680 million SoftBank-led round that valued the company at $4.3 billion in 2021 and past three million registered users. He led its move to a multichain model in 2025, migrating collectibles to Solana and balances to Base. He stepped back from day-to-day operations in November 2025 and remains closely involved as a board member. A telecommunications engineer by training from Télécom SudParis, he wrote backend systems at the crypto broker Paymium before Stratumn.
