Building infrastructure for individual data ownership

Jake Jones

The internet's incentive structures are broken—attention capture for advertisers instead of products that actually help you. I'm building a new way: blockchain-secured AI, micropayment infrastructure, and systems where you own your data and get paid when it's valuable.

The Mission

What I'm Building

"The current incentive and security structures of the Internet are broken. Companies rely on selling your captured attention to advertisers instead of building useful products and services that make your life better. I'm building a new way of doing things that fixes this."

Edwin

A secure AI assistant with perfect recall memory, secured by blockchain. Every conversation, decision, and piece of context is cryptographically verifiable. This is what 'owning your AI' actually looks like.

🔍

Shad (Shannon's Daemon)

Fast semantic search across your personal knowledge base. The memory retrieval layer that powers Edwin's perfect recall—without shipping your data to someone else's server.

Context Marketplace

coming

Your data has value. Sell access to your context via micropayments—on your terms, with cryptographic proof of what was shared and what was paid.

Blockchain + AI + IPv6 end-to-end connectivity + provable data integrity + intelligent automation.
