Summary
Toufi Saliba is a technology entrepreneur and protocol author who has spent the last decade building privacy-first, peer-to-peer internet protocols and AI-enabled systems from San Francisco. As CEO of HyperCycle.ai and co-author/chair of TODA/IP at Toda.Network, he blends deep expertise in distributed computing, cryptography, BFT/ADG governance and machine learning to design systems that prioritize security, scalability and minimal dependency on centralized infrastructure. He chairs IEEE AI Standards and has held leadership roles in ACM bodies, positioning him at the intersection of technical standards, research and productization. Beyond steering startups and advisory boards, he has a hands-on ethos—running private GitHub projects and inviting collaborators—so he remains engaged in implementation as well as strategy. An uncommon thread in his work is applying game theory to autonomous governance, yielding practical protocols that aim for both efficiency and real-world adoption.
