An Open Letter to Crypto Builders Exploring What Comes Next
(including thinkers like Tom Bilyeu, Elon Musk, Raoul Pal, and Tom Sosnoff)
I’ve been designing a crypto-adjacent project that addresses the missing security layer of the internet—one that reveals, very cleanly, why blockchain keeps running into walls outside of pure value transfer, and why the next step isn’t to replace it, but to complement it.
This project is not “better blockchain.” It’s closer to a TCP/IP–level substrate: a foundational layer that increases the safety of operating within digital systems by rendering fraud economically irrational, especially in contexts where trust and authority must be enforced at the moment of execution.
I’ve written an article that lays out:
what blockchains do exceptionally well—and why being optimized for edge cases is a restraint with consequences,
why identity, governance, tokenization, and settlement do not scale,
and why what I’ve built is, in fact, crypto’s best possible friend for what it does best.
The core claim is simple: blockchains solved value finality, but what’s missing is a deeper layer that isn’t financial. It’s about trust at the moment of execution—ensuring when the authority to transact or login is exercised in a digital system, it is exercised by a real human, legitimately, in real time. Once that condition is enforced cryptographically at execution, entire classes of fraud collapse at once: phishing, SIM-swap attacks, credential stuffing, and bot-driven abuse.
As AI becomes increasingly capable of deepfakes and machine-speed fraud, it exposes the fragility of our current digital security model, which relies on inference-based trust—assuming actors are legitimate at execution and attempting to remediate damage only after it occurs. That model does not scale and the cost of its failure grows exponentially each year.
What I’ve designed makes this class of fraud non-scalable. This isn’t a niche solution for banks or social platforms. It’s infrastructure that sits above hardware and below software and operates as a missing layer of the internet. It preserves the core crypto principle of decentralization, resists capture by design, and operates in a privacy-preserving way without creating identity artifacts. It’s a specific combination of cryptographic and architectural variables that, to my knowledge, has not been assembled as a coherent system before.
If this resonates, I’ve also written a white paper that lays out the full architecture in detail. I don’t say this lightly: seeing the complete system changes how you think about digital trust, authority, and what comes after blockchain.
I’m looking for people who care deeply about getting this right. The cost is twenty minutes to read the article. The upside is understanding a category shift before it becomes obvious. If you’re interested, you can message me through this blog.
Best,Jeff
