Automating revenue collection and distribution for film — so cast, crew, and investors get auditable, tradable shares instead of waiting years for a check that may never come.

A low-cost machine that doubles as a self-hosted Ethereum node and a node for decentralized data permissioning, storage, and retrieval.

A composable DeFi protocol that wraps arbitrary primitives into a single shared accounting layer, collapsing multi-step transactions into one.

A free tool that lets anyone copy an NFT and keep the knockoff. Conceptual art disguised as a product, or maybe the other way around.

A digital graffiti wall in which pixels are NFTs subject to the Harberger tax. It’s an experiment in market socialism, a collaborative artwork, and a window into Ethereum for the world.

A payment system built on a mesh of bilateral credit lines instead of tokens — money as mutual trust, recorded on a blockchain.

A think tank that supports scholarly research on the potential of a UBI created without governmental auspices, including both theoretical work and analysis of active projects.

A transparent platform for naming stars and recording those names on-chain, with proceeds funding space grants.

Introduces a composable architecture for linking smart contracts through a shared accounting layer, reducing friction for builders and users in DeFi.

Working Paper: Explores the potential for blockchain-based mutual credit systems in Venezuela, guided by Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 8.10 on access to banking and financial services.

A creative solution to an emergency distribution system for a world basic income.

Working Paper: Critical comparison of Trustlines Protocol and Circles, two alternative currency projects that are conceptually identical but differ in economic theory. Presented at the Complementary Currencies and Societal Challenges Conference in Brussels.

Working Paper: Overview of current approaches to Sybil-resistance in decentralized, privacy-preserving identity systems. First draft created at RWOT 9 Prague.

Can the topology of a peer-to-peer credit network reveal which accounts are real and which are Sybils? An analysis of graph-based detection on Trustlines.

Proposal for a decentralized system of monetary governance formed from an ecosystem of freely-formed coexisting UBI currencies, each backed and governed by its own network of suppliers.

Outline for assigning a temporary proof of uniqueness to participants who physically attend pseudonym parties, for the purpose of integrating that data into a complementary graph-based Sybil-resistant identity network.

A roadmap for designing and launching a digital currency whose sole purpose is to permanently deliver a universal basic income — no government required.

A smart contract implementation of the Harberger tax demonstrated on a digital burger. The buyer sets their own price and pays continuous tax proportional to that price, and anyone can force-purchase it at the declared price. For the first time in Harberger history, funds staked to pay tax can earn yield in DeFi strategies.

A live musical performance to mark Ethereum's transition to Proof of Stake. Musicians played a waltz generated randomly in real-time with each block hash as the Merge took place. Based on the artwork Amadethus. Performed at Full Node, Berlin.

I made a crossword puzzle for fun once.

A manifesto of sorts, from that moment in history when NFTs started going mainstream.
