Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolArthur Brock is a systems architect and serial founder who has spent over three decades designing targeted currencies and incentive systems that rewire how organizations coordinate and create value. He co-founded Holochain and Ceptr to enable fully peer-to-peer distributed applications as an alternative to blockchain, and remains an active back-end contributor to the Holochain codebase. Arthur combines an AI background with hands-on product building—launching firms like Holo.Host, Unyt, and RealGold™—to turn social design insights into deployable decentralized accounting and provenance systems. His work spans practical applications from community currencies and employee-run businesses to supply-chain provenance and sustainable resource management. Notably, he applies living-systems and performance-metrics thinking to currency design, treating money as a carrier of social DNA rather than just a medium of exchange. Based between Seattle, Denver and New York, he consults globally on restructuring organizations for the new economy.
