Imagine a world—a Star Trek future, as Greg Kidd would have it—where blockchain technology enables a registry for everything. Instead of information trapped in silos, one identity signs every transaction. At the time of purchase, the merchant, manufacturer, or creator of a product or service can inject meaningful information, logging that data as a reference point for customer behavior and market trends. You have the sale of a Picasso masterpiece on the same log as the sale of a car. The immutable blockchain captures and stores a world of commerce.
 
Founding Partner Greg Kidd (Hard Yaka Ventures) and Cofounder Jeremías Buireo Karpp (Olyn) bring the Olyn invention to life in this exploratory video interview. After contributing to the Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) documentary, Greg Kidd continues to pioneer investment in new companies that advocate for the public domain. At Olyn, the cofounders also envision greater transparency for the global economy.

Watch the video to learn more about the blockchain, how Olyn differs from crypto, and the future of Web3.
