Building
Running growth at Routescan — explorer infrastructure for Avalanche and beyond. Focused on partnerships and enterprise deals; the L1 explorer space is growing faster than expected.
On the side: working on Eva, a trust infrastructure layer for AI agents. Verifiable identity, execution receipts, and economic accountability for autonomous systems. Phase 1.5 is live on Avalanche mainnet.
Also just launched Gem Mint Strategy ($CATCH) — a tokenized Pokémon card portfolio on Avalanche. It’s a real portfolio thesis, not a meme.
Thinking about
The gap between “AI can do X” and “AI is trusted to do X in production.” Constraints, identity, accountability — not raw capability. That’s where the interesting problems are.
Also: stablecoin rails are quietly becoming payments infrastructure. Mastercard + Visa both moving there, $12T in volume last year. Most people still think it’s a crypto casino.
And the AI agent adoption paradox — payment volumes are lower than the hype suggests, but the adoption curve is real and early. Being early here matters.
Reading
Avalanche ACP proposals. Vitalik’s DAO governance posts. The a16z piece on AI agent payment volumes. A lot of research on trust layers and x402 payment protocols.
Listening
Whatever’s on Apple Music. Nothing interesting enough to mention.
