Role at EcoX

  • His Linktree profile is titled "Jorge Sebastiao (Co-Founder of EcoX)" and links to the EcoX Luma calendar.[1]
  • EcoX event pages list him, with Franco Fiore, as a host and describe both as co-founders of EcoX.[2]
  • SBC Summit's Web3 & Crypto Academy programme lists "Jorge Sebastiao (Co-Founder, EcoX Dubai)" as the speaker of a fireside chat titled "Trust In the Chain: Does Blockchain Really Make Gaming Fair?".[3]
  • Blockchain Life's 2024 programme archive includes a biography stating that he is the co-founder of EcoX,[6] and in July 2024 the organiser announced on X that "Jorge Sebastiao, Co-Founder of EcoX" would join its Dubai event.[7]
  • The Blockchain Week UNGA Edition speaker list instead names him "Founder, EcoX Network".Disputed[5] Because his own profile and most other sources use "Co-Founder", we use that title and treat "Founder" as a disputed variant.
