04 URBIT


Urbit

Urbit is engineering the internet’s true Layer Zero: a peer-to-peer operating system rebuilt from first principles. Anchored in cryptographic identity, deterministic computing, and sovereign networking, Urbit offers users full ownership of users’ digital lives. No intermediaries, no permissions, no data rent.

I was brought in to distill Urbit’s radical architecture into clear messaging for pioneering developers. Immersed in the ecosystem, I authored a variety of modular narratives that culminated in the Miami Assembly, rallying builders to a future of fully owned computation.
