Wojtek Pawlowski is the CEO and co-founder of Accountable, a verification infrastructure company building privacy-preserving proof systems for institutional credit markets. After experiencing a $36 million default at Maven 11's credit arm during the 2022 crypto unwind, Wojtek set out to rebuild trust in lending from the ground up. Under his leadership, Accountable enables funds, lenders, custodians, and structured products to generate tamper-proof, real-time proofs of financial data without exposing sensitive trading strategies or proprietary information.
In this interview, Wojtek joins Himanshu, CTO of Arch, and Knyck, Head of Marketing, to discuss how Accountable is redefining transparency in digital asset credit markets. This episode of View From the Arch dives into the origin story behind Accountable and how verification infrastructure is becoming foundational to institutional crypto finance. Topics covered include:
The $36M default at Maven 11 that exposed the limits of self-reported financial statements in credit markets
How Accountable uses secure enclaves, ZKTLS, and local “node” architecture to generate cryptographic proofs of data integrity
Why borrowers can prove solvency, exposure, or drawdowns without revealing their “secret sauce”
The structure of Arch Lending and Galaxy’s $75M CLO, and how Accountable verifies collateral, loan books, and on-chain activity in real time
How depth token holders can access granular dashboards showing liquidation thresholds, collateral composition, and portfolio health
Why Accountable refuses to become a rating agency, and instead positions itself as neutral verification infrastructure
The launch of “Vaults as a Service,” enabling tokenized credit structures with embedded real-time proof systems
The future of institutional transparency, third-party light audits, and the rise of verification as a competitive edge in crypto credit markets
Wojtek's personal evolution in crypto since 2017, from Ethereum maxi to Bitcoin holder, and why he believes tokenized financial products are inevitable
This episode explores a core thesis: credit markets don’t fail because risk exists, they fail because risk is hidden. Accountable aims to make hidden risk structurally impossible.
