About


Our story
I’m Richard Patterson, founder of DeASI and Tradebysec. My work brings together blockchain infrastructure, artificial intelligence, automation, and secure software engineering around one purpose: helping people build systems they can understand, verify, and trust.
Across my work with Solana, Ethereum-compatible networks, AI agents, and cloud infrastructure, I keep coming back to a central question: How can we make powerful technology useful without sacrificing security, transparency, or human accountability?
This collective is a way to bring that purpose into the open—connecting development, community participation, and financial support around shared technical goals.
Our purpose
Our mission is to develop open, verifiable infrastructure that helps people build and use decentralized technology responsibly.
We aim to connect AI and blockchain in practical ways: automating complex workflows, strengthening the security of digital systems, and creating tools that give builders and communities greater control over their work.
Our priorities include:
• Blockchain infrastructure and tools for Solana, Ethereum, and other networks.
• AI agents and automation with clear permissions, safeguards, and human oversight.
• Security testing and formal verification to help identify weaknesses and test whether systems behave as intended.
• Documentation, examples, and educational resources that make complex technology easier to understand and use.
• Transparent collaboration, with clear project goals and accountable use of community funding.
What your support makes possible
Contributions will help support development time, testing infrastructure, security reviews, documentation, and the ongoing maintenance of shared tools.
Our goal is to turn ambitious ideas into dependable systems—not simply demonstrations. That means investing in the less visible work that matters: reviewing code, testing failure conditions, documenting limitations, and maintaining what we build.
As projects develop, we intend to share progress, explain funding priorities, and make the resulting work available for others to learn from and build upon.
Our commitment
We believe openness should extend beyond source code. It should include how decisions are made, how resources are used, and how risks are communicated.
We will approach this work with a commitment to transparency, security, responsible experimentation, and respect for the people who use and support it. We will distinguish research from production-ready software and communicate limitations rather than promise outcomes we cannot guarantee.
This collective is for builders, researchers, contributors, and supporters who want AI and decentralized infrastructure to become more useful, understandable, and accountable.
