Ezio Lucido

Ezio Lucido is the Founder and CEO of the Alliance for Virtuous Intelligence (AVI), where he serves as the lead systems architect behind AVI Coin and its sovereign blockchain infrastructure.

‍Ezio’s journey began in 1985, when his older brother Jerry was diagnosed with sudden, early-onset schizophrenia at just 12 years old. This defining event sparked a lifelong inquiry into the nature of virtuous intelligence—and whether an alternative consensus paradigm could measurably improve outcomes for human beings at scale.

In 1999, Ezio founded a Northern California film and media company, where he led the creation of award-winning campaigns for Fortune 500 brands, global nonprofits, and entertainment partners. His work consistently explored themes of systems thinking, individual empowerment, and civilizational transformation.

In 2020, Ezio fully pivoted to the tech sector, launching the Alliance for Virtuous Intelligence to design decentralized infrastructure rooted in ethical coordination. He now leads the development of the AVI ecosystem, including a custom Layer 1 blockchain (AVI Coin), tokenized economic protocols, and an AI-powered coordination system engineered to advance human flourishing.
