Olá pessoal!

Today I’m joined by Jean-Michel Guillot, head of product for blockchain and digital assets at Dinamo Networks.

Dinamo is a digital security company that provides solutions to banks, financial institutions, governments and large companies. Its primary solution is a hardware security module (HSM) that keeps cryptographic keys and processes secured.

Notably, Dinamo’s solution is used to generate and secure the cryptographic keys underpinning the Pix payment system developed by the Brazilian Central Bank. Launched in 2020, Pix now executes 150 million transactions per day and is used by 90% of the adult Brazilian population.

Dinamo is also a formal participant in the TecBan consortium, one of the 16 consortia involved in the Drex pilot, and is involved in several others as service provider.

We dive into how Dinamo’s HSMs are being used to secure transactions conducted in the Drex test environment, thus guaranteeing the integrity of the network.

We also discuss:

  • Jean Michel’s French-Brazilian background and his journey from consulting to technology, and his ultimately his entry into the blockchain space

  • How Dinamo's technology ensures that cryptographic keys are never exposed to the internet, providing a secure environment for transactions.

  • Challenges inherent in implementing Drex, including ensuring security, preserving privacy for an enormous quantity of transaction, and connecting banks to the national network for transactions
