Agents fail on the harness, not the model.
Agent operating systems, Solana infrastructure, open source.

Ventures under the name: co-founder rpc edge · founded Builderz · selective consulting.
I build the ops layer for AI agent fleets - quotas, safety gates, orchestration, control planes - and prove it in daily use: my ventures run on the same agent stack I open-source, down to the live star counts on this page. 16.3K+ OSS stars (16,293 live across every repo I have authored, listed on this page), code upstream in Hermes Agent. rpc edge is the Solana infrastructure venture; the rest is public tooling people use.
rpc edge - low-latency Solana infrastructure for high-frequency trading. Dedicated RPC, Yellowstone gRPC, decoded shred streams, and a transaction sender - co-located with the cluster and the Jito Block Engine. Metered bandwidth, self-serve, settled in USDC on Solana. By Polaris Labs.
Open tooling for the same stack:

| rpcedge-copy-ref | Paper copy-watch reference - doctor → poll wallet → paper log (not financial advice) |

Upstream: contributor to Hermes Agent (Nous Research) - cron/timezone fix on main via co-authored commit, plus open PRs for session continuity, skills, and subagent isolation. Also proposing fixes to OpenClaw.
Fixed scope, fixed price band, agreed before anything starts. You get the system and the handoff, not a dependency on me.

- Agent teams need operations, not demos.
- The strongest stack is open-core control plane + premium operator UX.
