Avalanche entities

Steven Gates is CEO and co-founder of Multisig Labs, the company behind GoGoPool/Hypha. Multisig Labs' own about page carries a LEADERSHIP block reading 'Steven Gates — CEO & Co. Founder' and states the company was 'founded in 2021 by Steven Gates'; GoGoPool's own company page names 'our core founders, Steven Gates and Johnny Gault'. Both pages are read from Wayback captures because the live domains now serve only the end-of-life stub.

Johnny Gault is CTO and co-founder of Multisig Labs. Multisig Labs' own about page reads 'Johnny Gault — CTO & Co. Founder'; GoGoPool's own company page names 'our core founders, Steven Gates and Johnny Gault, met in Barcelona at the first Avalanche Summit in 2021'. Both read from Wayback captures of the orgs' own pages.

HyphaProtocol

Hypha (formerly GoGoPool) is the Avalanche liquid-staking and validator-infrastructure protocol built by Multisig Labs: Hypha's own docs point at the contracts repository under the Multisig Labs GitHub organization, and multisiglabs.org redirects to the shared 'GoGoPool / Hypha - End of Life' notice. The product shut down on 2026-08-15. No page states the relation in those words; it is established first-party across two hops.
