Jedai is a systems thinker operating at the fault line between finance and code. He has spent years inside regulation—standards bodies, risk frameworks, and compliance systems—mapping how power concentrates in custody and discretion. He now focuses on designing alternatives: cryptographic, protocol-based systems that replace institutional trust with verifiable rules. His work centers on self-sovereign identity, decentralized finance primitives, and incentive design that removes the need for gatekeepers. Author of Unregulatable, he argues that the future of money will not be governed by permission, but by architecture.
