Knowledge Production

Books, research, whitepapers, mechanism design, curriculum, and workshops. We write it, we teach it. The depth comes from having published the books, run the protocols, and built the products ourselves.

Publications

The books behind the practice.

We don't advise from the sidelines. We publish the research, then build on top of it. These are the works that ground everything we do for clients.

The Green Crypto Handbook: Blockchain for Sustainability Professionals

Research & writing

Deep enough to withstand scrutiny.

We write for audiences that read the footnotes. Niche topics, technical stakeholders, high-stakes decisions—the work that falls apart if the analysis is shallow.

Whitepapers

Protocol whitepapers, technical architecture documents, and mechanism design specifications. Written for audiences that read the footnotes.

Technical papers

Research reports, literature reviews, and technical analyses. We go deep on the topics that matter to your stakeholders and your regulators.

Mechanism design

Tokenomics documentation, incentive modeling, governance framework specifications. The mechanism design work that precedes the build.

Thought leadership

Long-form articles, essays, and blog series. Strategic narratives grounded in real expertise, not marketing copy dressed as insight.

Project documentation

API documentation, developer guides, architecture decision records. The documentation that makes your project legible to engineers and auditors.

Shortform & social

Threads, posts, and short-form content that distills complex ideas into distribution-ready formats. The same rigor, compressed for the timeline.

Selected past work

Decentralising the Planet's Powerhouse — Glow / CarbonCopy feature

MRV Methodologies — Kolektivo

Windfall Router — mechanism design for carbon-aware AI inference routing

AI Institutional Design Atlas — internal research, published openly

Curriculum & workshops

We teach what we ship.

Curriculum grounded in applied research and live projects, not textbook theory. We design and deliver programs for universities, incubators, and enterprise education.

Formats

Intensive workshops

One to three days. Hands-on sessions for teams that need to get up to speed on a specific domain. We bring the materials, the exercises, and the expertise.

Guest lectures & examination

Single sessions within existing programs. External examination for programs that need independent assessment from practitioners who've shipped the work.

Past work

Alyra — blockchain & AI school

Course designer and external examiner for one of Europe's most respected blockchain and AI programmes. Ongoing engagement covering curriculum development, assessment design, and guest instruction.

Sciences Po — Paris

Guest lectures on blockchain governance, environmental tokenization, and decentralized institutional design for graduate programs.
