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, blockchain rails, and the everyday software a local business actually runs on, not just one lane. I'm Co-Founder and CTO at OneHealth, where I built the event-sourced canonical record behind a health navigator on my own. 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 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, a consulting engagement, 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.

• FoundationAuthor, internal only

  The internal control plane I run every project from: one live source of truth for every repo, service and database I own.

• OneHealthCo-founder and CTO

  The operating layer and navigator for personal health: one lifelong record, and a clinician-approved route through it.

• nimimoFounder and sole engineer

  Receive crypto in seconds, own your address like you own your name: one link for BTC, ETH, SOL and USDC, keys on-device.

  nimimo.com
• PanoptesFounder and sole engineer

  Autonomous, invariant-directed AI security review for smart contracts, bridges, ZK circuits, and the web2 systems around them.

  panoptes.me
• Enjin GovernanceAuthor, open source, treasury funded

  Production-grade web client for Enjin OpenGov: browse referenda, vote by conviction, and file treasury requests.

  gov.enjin.cloud
• RepoCanaryLive

  A recruiter sends a take-home task and asks you to run it. This checks it first, without ever executing a line of it.

  repocanary.com
• miBaguetteLive

  The whole operating surface of a restaurant: website, ordering, reservations, and a dashboard the owners run themselves.

  mibaguette.de
• SubstreakAuthor, consumer interface retired

  Governance-funded reward infrastructure on Substrate, still running the distributions and APIs that depend on it.

  substreak.io
• A Million YearsAuthor

  A seed-grown world you explore, build in, and claim. Earth a million years after we're gone, identical for everyone who visits.

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, AI systems engineer and founding CTO 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.
