Passions & Other Projects

Art Collection & Discovery

Edoardo Paluan’s interest in art originates from his family, who instilled in him an appreciation for beauty, tradition, and intellectual curiosity from an early age. While his academic background is rooted in physics, his upbringing encouraged a balance between analytical thinking and artistic sensibility. This duality shaped his deep appreciation for Italian, Japanese, and Chinese art—cultures whose artistic traditions reflect a harmony of discipline, emotion, and philosophy. Whether through the refined minimalism of Japanese ink work, the layered symbolism of Chinese scroll painting, or the expressive richness of Italian masters, Edoardo finds in each a reflection of the same precision and depth that first drew him to science.

Edoardo Paluan has practiced judo for over 20 years, starting at age 8 and competing throughout his youth. He earned his black belt at 18 and has trained at several respected judo clubs, including The Budokwai in London, ASJ Segrate in Italy, the University of London Union, and Oishi Judo Club in New York. His training at these clubs reflects a long-standing commitment to the sport at both national and international levels.

Crypto

Edoardo Paluan is an active supporter and long-term investor in Cardano, drawn to its scientifically driven approach and focus on building a decentralized and sustainable blockchain ecosystem. He believes in Cardano’s mission to deliver financial infrastructure to underserved communities and sees its proof-of-stake model as a meaningful step toward scalable, low-energy consensus.

 

Edoardo is particularly interested in how blockchain and smart contract platforms like Cardano can unlock more efficient, transparent, and trustless ways for humans to transact, exchange value, and build systems that reduce reliance on traditional intermediaries. He continues to follow the project’s development closely and looks forward to its growing role in shaping a more open and equitable global economy.
