# Founders The ILIS DAO was founded by a Dutchie going by the name Octopus. Having a background in Physics, Octopus has always loved complex systems. Combine that with an affinity for crypto (and Radix in particular), and one quickly starts fiddling with Scrypto. That is what Stabilis essentially is for him: a hobby that got out of hand. Though, if you'd ask Octopus, who exactly founded the ILIS DAO is of little importance. He believes in a meritocracy - earn trust by producing results. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
