Former Consensys Product Lead Joins OP Labs as Lead Technical Program Manager
Ben Edgington, the former product lead at Consensys, has joined Layer 2 developer OP Labs as its lead technical program manager. In his new role, Edgington will grow and manage the core development program for the Optimism Collective, working closely with engineering, product, and governance teams.
OP Labs and Optimism

Transition from Consensys
Edgington’s move to OP Labs comes after his departure from Consensys last month. During his time at Consensys, he worked on Ethereum-based software products and developed Teku (originally called Artemis), a popular staking client software for Ethereum.
Hot Take: Ben Edgington Brings Extensive Experience in Ethereum Development to OP Labs

His role as lead technical program manager will contribute to the success and decentralization of the Optimism Collective. This appointment further strengthens OP Labs’ position as a key player in Layer 2 development and reinforces their commitment to improving scalability and reducing transaction costs for dapps on the Ethereum network.
