Richard Carback co-founded xx network, a privacy-preserving communications and blockchain ecosystem built with post-quantum resistance, where his cryptographic work focused on engineering the anonymous cMix messaging system. The network's mainnet launched in November 2021, with its native xx coin serving value transfer, staking, and governance functions. He also co-founded Quip Network, a blockchain project that pairs a compute-consensus layer based on proof of useful work with an asset layer that extends post-quantum protection to assets on existing chains, both sharing the QUIP token. Postquant Labs, which he also co-founded, serves as the development company supplying the quantum compilers and algorithms underlying Quip Network.
Richard Carback previously worked at Privategrity Corporation (Elixxir) as Vice President of Software Engineering, formerly served as Group Leader for Embedded Systems Security at Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, and was previously Chief Scientist at Convergent Technologies, Inc. He also co-founded Lexumo, a cybersecurity startup that monitored IoT software for vulnerabilities before it subsequently closed.
Richard Carback's research record includes work on Scantegrity, a cryptographically verifiable election system used in Takoma Park municipal elections in 2009 and 2011, and VoteXX, a coercion-resistant internet-voting system built on zero-knowledge proofs and multiparty computation. His account has 14,293 followers as of September 2026 and 1,634 posts, and has been mentioned by 33 accounts a total of 82 times.
