Today I am speaking with Hyung-Kyu Choi, also known as "HQ," Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at DSRV, a well-known blockchain infrastructure provider based in South Korea. DSRV is known for offering a range of web3 infrastructure solutions, including its validator services, serving over 50 protocols, blockchain RPC service, and development support tools like Welldone Studio.

HQ shares his web3 journey, growing up in Seoul, South Korea, with a brief stint in Canada, and his research experiences at the university in the states. HQ talks about his childhood fascination with space that sparked an early interest in mechanical engineering, but his curiosity evolved toward computer science and programming, leading him to earn a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Seoul National University.

During the interview, HQ also discusses his experiences working on the Ethereum Virtual Machine and AI inference engines during his time at Samsung and Ground X, as well as his motivation to co-found DSRV to solve the blockchain infrastructure challenges that builders face. HQ also talks about DSRV’s involvement in The Graph ecosystem, starting with his participation in the Mission Control testnet and DSRV’s recent hosting of The Graph’s Sunrise Party in Seoul - sharing his perspective on the critical role The Graph plays in providing decentralized data infrastructure for web3.
