Mysten Labs CTO leads new AI unit as Kevin Boon becomes CEO

Mysten Labs says it is launching a dedicated AI business unit that its CTO will lead personally, alongside CTO duties.

Kevin Boon, previously Chief Legal Officer and then President, will become CEO so the CTO can focus on the agentic strategy and on supporting the Sui and Walrus ecosystem. The company's first post in a new quarterly CEO letter series lays out what agents need to be trusted and why Sui and Walrus are positioned to provide it, according to the same report. The report comes from a single post and does not include further detail on the unit's products or timeline.
