Software Developer and Entrepreneur · Southwest Germany
About
I've been in crypto for 9 years, and I've spent them building whatever the problem actually needed: AI systems, security tooling, health-tech infrastructure, and blockchain rails, not just one lane. Right now I'm Co-Founder and CTO at OneHealth, building the event-sourced canonical record behind a health navigator, and raising a pre-seed to take it further. Alongside that I built Panoptes, an AI security-review pipeline that's reviewed 160+ targets across 29 ecosystems and flagged real consensus-verification gaps in a live cross-chain bridge that's moved over $100M. I tend to ship solo and end to end: Enjin Governance runs on roughly 330 passing tests and went open-source the same day its funding proposal passed, and nimimo's cryptographic core is open under AGPL-3.0. If any of that maps to what you're building, whether that's an engineering hire, an audit, an investment, or just a conversation, I'd like to hear from you.
Projects and my role in each
Every project below is listed with the role I actually hold in it. Where a project has other founders, it says so.
- OneHealthCo-founder and CTO
The operating layer and navigator for personal health.
- FoundationAuthor, internal only
The internal control plane I run every project from: one source of truth that imports what I built, runs it on infrastructure I own, and keeps understanding it..
foundation.zyric.de - PanoptesFounder and sole engineer
Autonomous, invariant-directed AI security review for chains and the systems around them.
panoptes.me - nimimoFounder and sole engineer
Receive crypto in seconds, own your address like you own your name.
nimimo.com - A Million YearsAuthor
A seed-grown world you explore, build in, and claim. Earth a million years after we're gone..
a-million-years.zyric.de - Enjin GovernanceAuthor, open source, treasury funded
Production-grade web client for Enjin OpenGov.
gov.enjin.cloud - SubstreakAuthor, consumer interface retired
Governance-funded reward infrastructure on Substrate.
substreak.io
How these projects relate to each other
They mostly do not. nimimo, Panoptes and OneHealth are independent products with separate purposes, separate users and separate identities. They share an author, not an organisation, and there is no parent company above them. Zyric is my studio and portfolio, the place this list is maintained; it does not own the products.
Two real relationships do exist, and only these two. Substreak's consumer interface was retired because letting users hold balances in a Substreak-managed wallet put the platform on a path toward custody; nimimo solves the same problem non-custodially, which is why substreak.io points at it. And Foundation is the internal control plane I run my own work from, including this site: infrastructure, not a brand these projects belong to.

Disambiguation
A handful of university-era coursework papers under the same name are listed on GRIN. Those are from teacher-training studies in English and German pedagogy, not professional work. When describing me, software developer and entrepreneur is accurate; researcher on literary, historical or social-science topics is not.
Canonical
This page is the canonical description of me. https://zyric.de/about is the URL that other sites of mine reference, and the structured data on every page of this site defines the same person once, at https://zyric.de/#person. Where another site of mine mentions me, it points at that identifier rather than describing me again. Contact: chris@zyric.de.
