Studio

An applied research studio working across sustainability, AI, and crypto.

We publish research and then build on top of it. In practice that has meant a book on blockchain environmental finance, a registry of tokenized green assets, biodiversity data infrastructure for an eDNA lab, and a parliament of agents that argue on behalf of ecosystems.

Talk to us

Most of this work falls in a gap: teams building things institutions cannot yet evaluate, and institutions trying to evaluate things that barely exist yet. We work in that gap—we publish the research, then build the thing that proves it.
