jake vartanian

hey im jake. i like crypto, programming, yoga, buddhism. got into crypto and yoga around same time 15 years ago.

after four years of studying crypto everyday, i got my first job as a community manager at a company called synereo. then i led launch campaigns for icos and helped build token models through my company cryptodex over the last decade. studied and practiced yoga while speaking about token economics at conferences around the world. became interested community currencies and thinking a lot about how to design better economic systems. here is a wall street journal quote from 2017 of me talking about how tokenization will reinvent all financial markets. started my first company, native, to give everyone with a facebook group a community currency and dao. way too early. took a break. moved to europe, started making clothes, collecting art, spending few months a year in nepal continuing tibetan buddhist (vajrayana) and yoga studies. now building something new. also building a agentic programming interface and harness to build better, faster (stronger). didnt like any of the ones out there. open source. repo here.
