What we build and advise on.

We build things and we advise on things, and we know the difference between the two. Most engagements start with an institution that needs one and discovers it needs both. We work with a limited number of institutions at a time.

Build

AI tools and agents

Browser-only calculators, policy engines and agent workflows built to your rules. Each tool computes on the user's device, keeps no personal data, and returns results an auditor can recompute. This is how we built AINumbers and ApexLogics, more than 1,200 tools and workflows between them.

  • Deterministic calculators and rule engines for finance, compliance and operations
  • Agent workflows that chain tools, with each result linked to the last by its hash
  • Policy Mandate exports that carry a scenario from one tool to the next
Proof · verification ladder

Every claim sits on a stated rung

A property-test floor on every live kernel, exhaustive enumeration and property testing on named kernels, a machine-checked Dafny and Z3 proof, and contract checks across every workflow. Known debt is published as shrink-only baselines. How it works ↗

Proof · a real bug

Found by proof, missed by every worked example

The Dafny proof of a Reg Z Appendix J APR kernel showed it compounds interest where the regulation prescribes simple interest, while it still matched all four of the regulator's worked examples. We disclosed it and track the repair. The finding ↗

Proof · open specification

OpenChainGraph

Our workflows follow OpenChainGraph, the open specification we wrote for hash-linked agent decisions, now at v0.8.13 after a series of public releases. Every result carries a SHA-256 execution hash anyone can recompute. Read the spec ↗

Build

MCP enablement

Publish your products to AI assistants through an MCP server like ours. We operate one of the largest public MCP servers in finance: more than 730 tools on one endpoint, listed in the official MCP registry as co.ainumbers/tools. We know what agents need from a tool list and what breaks at scale.

  • MCP server design, tool naming and schemas
  • WebMCP registration so in-browser agents can call your pages
  • Verifiable receipts, including ZK-proven workflows
  • Testing and usage tracking without collecting personal data
Proof · zero-knowledge

More than 670 ZK-proven nodes

More than 670 deterministic nodes carry a risc0 Groth16 zero-knowledge proof of execution. New nodes are usually proved within a few days to a week of going live. AINumbers ↗

Proof · one server per product

Three live MCP servers

Besides AINumbers, ApexLogics runs its own MCP server with a hash-verification tool, and the Omega Centauri Society runs an 11-tool science server. OCS server ↗

Proof · in the browser

WebMCP

Our browser pages register the same tools through WebMCP, so an agent running in the browser can call them on the page itself, with nothing sent to a server.

Research

Research and technical writing

We draft, check and publish technical research with AI assistance, disclosed on every paper. The derivation and verification habits we apply to code carry over to the literature.

Proof · erratum

A 12 per cent error in a published constant

While implementing the formalism of Prager et al. (2017, ApJ 845:148) for an Omega Centauri study, we found its jerk noise-floor constant, printed as 3.04 and adopted by later work, evaluates to 3.4596. Five independent evaluations and two Monte Carlo simulations reject the printed value. Published as a preprint. The erratum ↗

Proof · preprints

Ten research preprints

The Omega Centauri Society has published ten working-draft preprints, from a pre-registered analysis of the cluster's central dark mass to a residual census of its X-ray sources. The papers ↗

LLM and MCP benchmarks

Objective, openly run benchmarks for language models and MCP servers go live in the coming days.

Advise

Payments, stablecoin and CBDC advisory

For commercial banks, central banks and large corporates, with a primary focus on Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean and South Asia. We have advised on and supported production deployments across frontier markets.

Tokenized payments

Tokenized A2A cross-border payments

Design and integration of tokenized account-to-account rails for B2B and B2C cross-border transactions and remittances. See the A2A payments guide.

Stablecoin

Stablecoin strategy and integration

Issuance architecture, reserve management structure and regulatory positioning for commercial and central banks, fitted to institutional context and jurisdiction.

CBDC

CBDC integration and architecture

Central bank digital currency design and deployment: interoperability with existing payment systems, integration with private-sector infrastructure, and the structural questions central bank teams face.

Tokenized MMF

Tokenized money market funds

Standardized tokenized MMFs in local currency. Tokenized USD funds already exist; the gap is local-currency equivalents for non-dollarized economies, which banks can offer corporate clients as a differentiated product.

Primary · highest near-term opportunity

Latin America

High remittance volumes, regulatory openness in key markets, and banking sectors modernizing cross-border infrastructure.

High growth · regulatory momentum

Africa

Mobile money penetration and CBDC experimentation, especially for corridors that are expensive and slow today.

Production deployments

Caribbean

Direct experience of the region's regulation, correspondent banking constraints and remittance dynamics.

Production deployments

South Asia

Remittance volumes, regulatory structure and a commercial banking sector with ongoing opportunity as tokenized infrastructure matures.

Advise

Institutional blockchain advisory

The team has advised and built products across more than 20 institutional blockchain projects, from layer-1 infrastructure to DeFi, enterprise ledgers, agentic AI trading and tokenized finance. Some engagements were advisory and research; others were direct product development and deployment. Client names are not listed; get in touch to discuss experience relevant to a mandate.

Prediction and forecast markets

Market design, market making, resolution mechanisms, and economic forecast markets treated as financial instruments. Example: Canonicals ↗

Agentic AI trading

Autonomous trading agents for decentralized protocols: factor research, multi-factor strategies, realistic backtesting and non-custodial execution on perpetuals and prediction markets. Example: BanZhuan ↗

Stablecoin infrastructure

Design, issuance, reserve structure and regulatory strategy, including stability mechanisms for algorithmic and collateralized models. Example: Auton ↗

Layer-1 infrastructure

Public and permissioned layer-1 projects: consensus design, tokenomics, validator economics and go-to-market positioning.

DeFi and liquidity protocols

From early development to institutional integration: liquidity mechanisms, governance and risk models, and AMM fee structures, capital efficiency and impermanent loss.

Perpetuals and derivatives

Onchain perpetual protocols, margin systems, oracle design and liquidation mechanics, and how they hold up in regulated contexts.

Digital ownership

NFT infrastructure for digital IP, onchain provenance and royalties, plus token economies and ownership structures for decentralized networks.

Identity, analytics and compliance

Verifiable credentials and self-sovereign identity, plus blockchain analytics for bank compliance teams: transaction tracing, entity identification and AML tooling.
