Our vision
“I’ve learned that the best way to build things people can trust is to make sure they don’t have to trust us.”
Secure
by design.
We build technology you can trust by making sure you don't have to trust us.
What we build
01 — Protocol
XMTP
Private conversations for people and agents.
An open source protocol for secure, quantum-resistant communication. Apps and agents can connect to it without handing anyone the keys.
xmtp.org →02 — Agents
Picnic
Control plane for AI agents.
Agents can act now. Picnic lets you decide how far they go. You set what an agent can touch, what it can spend, and what has to wait for your OK, and every action stays inside that fence.

Principles
01
Proof, not trust.
You should be able to understand and verify what you rely on. Our word should never be enough.
02
Control stays with you.
Your conversations, relationships, and choices belong to you. Technology should help you do more without asking you to give that up.
03
Build for when things go wrong.
We won’t predict every failure. Resilience comes from limiting the consequences of what we didn’t see coming.
04
Humans win.
More powerful technology should mean more freedom and possibility for people. If people lose control, we haven’t made progress.
