Verifiable agents, shipped end to end.

I build identity (Proof of Real — a personhood credential on Sui), payments (x402 across Sui, Solana and EVM, including a live mainnet facilitator and a proposed standard extension), and the accountability tooling that lets a human check what an agent actually did. Solo, with Claude Code as the build engine.

Solo is the polite word for “nobody else to blame.” Everything below is code, on chains, with transaction hashes — not a deck.

Sizes are rough importance, not chronology

Proof of Real (PoR)

A Sui-native proof-of-personhood credential: prove you’re a real, unique human — passkey + zkLogin onboarding, no personal data captured — and raise your assurance through verifiable real-world actions. Yes, the robots have to go outside.

  • Live credential, attestor and Move package on Sui mainnet; SDK on npm as por-sdk (Apache-2.0) — apps add a human-check in one call
  • Device-attested real-world action: App Attest proven on a real iPhone — a walk mints an on-chain Verified Real credential, one per device (built and proven; enforcement gated off during rollout)
  • personhood-tier: a runnable “third assurance tier” for device-attestation systems, written for Nodle’s trust relay — SIWE + attestation + a live PoR read in one session claim
  • The personhood gate in the x402 charging agent and the Verified Agent demo — paying agents settle, verified humans read free
  • Consumer front door: Yomp (walk to prove you’re real, Sui testnet)

x402 Settlement-Receipt Binding

A proposed extension to the x402 standard (Linux Foundation): bind an on-chain settlement to a signed execution receipt, recomputable from published bytes with an independent verifier. Its conformance gate has been reproduced green by independent issuers on two rails; a production EVM team posted per-leg records for a real Polygon JPYC settlement against it, and the author of the receipt-envelope I-D it binds to caught a §3.5 defect that I fixed in §4.

In an IETF draft

My review text landed verbatim in draft-morrison-consent-settlement-05 (§8.1, §10.5), with a named Contributor credit, after a thread where the author took every correction, including three overclaims I caught. A rarer sport than it should be.

sui-x402 facilitator

An independent x402 facilitator on Sui: non-custodial verify/settle for the exact scheme, zero fee, optional gasless via Enoki. It relays the payer’s own signed transaction and never holds funds.

Source Review Coverage

The flagship: signed, recomputable evidence that the code which shipped is the code a human approved — the verifier for a requirement SLSA v1.2 published and left undefined. One line of CI; a stranger with git can replay every verdict offline. Built around one question: can a human check what the agent did without trusting the agent’s own account of it? (The agent’s account is always very confident. That’s the problem.)

  • Validated against 810 production merges with zero false positives; predicate submitted as in-toto/attestation#581; on the GitHub Marketplace with a fortnightly release train — sponsorable
  • rv — Reversible Actions: undo for shell-command file effects, journaled on every command an agent runs. For the ones it swore were safe.
  • ev — Evidence Tiers: every claim labelled ran / read / told / recalled / inferred, as an in-toto predicate with an offline verifier.
  • xv — Verified Examples: execution attestations for doc examples so an agent can check instead of recall; CI gate.
  • Desktop agent v1.4.1: local-first (Tauri 2 + Rust + Ollama), macOS signed + notarized, in-app updater. Trust, but rv undo.

Upstream

13merged PRs · 6 orgs

Into repos I don’t own — someone else’s maintainer decided each was worth carrying, which is the only review that counts.

  • OpenMed — release signing, run-ledger, rollback, registry, demos7
  • huggingface.js — two correctness fixes2
  • sigstore-python — statement-parse fix1
  • x402 — cross-SDK error parity1
  • Nodle rollup — bridge migration docs (+ Bridgehub commits landed in #122)1
  • Tessera — recovery-hint API (Rust)1
Plus Mysten Sui-stack issues fixed upstream

x402 EV Charging Agent

An EV that pays for its own charge: authorize a ceiling, meter the kWh (x402 upto), settle the actual, emit a receipt an independent checker verifies — over the network’s own OCPI record. PoR-gated.

Sui mainnet · Solana devnetrepo

x402-pilot

Open-source Claude Code plugin for the x402 standard: bundled spec corpus, authoring/review workflows, and a non-custodial conformance MCP that recomputes a settlement against the on-chain balance change.

Dev tooling · Apache-2.0repo

x402-sui-stack

The x402 builder stack for Sui — facilitator + tooling + a one-command demo that settles a real $0.01 USDC payment on mainnet and lets anyone recompute it in-browser. Sui Overflow 2026 entry.

Sui · mainnetlive

Verified Agent

The thesis in one artifact: who the agent is (PoR), what it paid for (x402 receipts), what it remembers (Walrus, ownership enforced on Sui) — all checkable on-chain, local LLM brain.

Also shipped

  • Gulp City — installable 3D PWA arcade game. Apparently I also needed a hobby.
  • Jamie Buddy — a local-LLM writing assistant.
  • Postdate — sealed letters to your future self. Native iOS (SwiftUI, StoreKit 2, zero third-party code); in App Review.
  • Agent-native payments on Nodle — x402 exact over NODL on zkSync via Permit2, real testnet settlements end to end; paired with an MCP kit for provenance + personhood. Repos private during partnership review.
  • FairLine — tranched liquidity vault on DeepBook Predict. Testnet, unaudited, wound down; kept as a reference.
  • Yomp — walk-to-prove-you’re-real, the consumer front door for PoR (Sui testnet).

How I build

My edge isn’t one language — it’s velocity with receipts. I architect the system, then drive Claude Code as the development engine to design, write, test and refactor across the whole stack. The loop is the same whether it’s a Move package, an iOS app, or a spec PR.

01

Spec first

A locked spec and a numbered decisions log before code. Choices outside the spec get written down, not improvised.

02

Agentic build

Claude Code writes and refactors; I review, steer, and own every commit. Smallest diff that works; reuse before new code.

03

Verify, don’t narrate

Tests, on-chain recompute, ev evidence tiers, rv undo journal. Nothing is claimed that wasn’t run. This is where most demos quietly die.

04

Ship, labelled

Mainnet / testnet / unaudited / in review — stated plainly, every surface. Then the next loop.

Proof the loop works: a personhood credential live on mainnet with a published SDK, a facilitator on mainnet, a spec extension with independent reproductions, text in a published IETF draft, and thirteen merges into other people’s repos.

Background

The short version

Independent AI builder

solo · present

Designing, building and shipping AI products and on-chain systems end to end: Proof of Real, the sui-x402 facilitator, x402-sui-stack (Sui Overflow 2026), the x402 charging agent, the rv / ev / xv accountability specs, a local-first desktop agent, and consumer apps people can buy.

Open-source & standards

Nodle · OpenMed · Mysten · x402 · IETF

Migrated Nodle’s L1 bridge off the deprecated ZKsync Mailbox to Bridgehub (Solidity; commits landed with authorship preserved after validation against live-mainnet state). Shipped release provenance for OpenMed: Sigstore-signed wheels + SLSA attestations, a release run-ledger binding artifacts to gate reports, and a reproducible rollback decision. Filed and reviewed fixes in Mysten’s Sui SDKs (a cached-price payment race in Walrus, a silent setSender() no-op behind Seal). Independent source-level audits of major Sui DeFi protocols, including a responsible disclosure of a latent oracle-quoter issue.
