Organising and decentralising the world's food to increase economic freedom and social connection.
FoodBlock is the shared format that people, software, and agents can all communicate in.
Every block is cryptographically linked to its predecessor by hash. The chain is append-only and tamper-evident. Tap any node and traverse the graph back to the origin: the farm, the maker, the moment it left the ground.
A record establishes who said what and when. Trust is inferred from the wider pattern of conduct over time. Slow to accumulate, instant to collapse.
Every claim is cryptographically bound to its author. Attribution is embedded in the record itself, not asserted externally.
Reputation is slow to earn and instant to lose. A single falsified log or failed delivery collapses standing.
Your agent reads the trust graph using your own rules. Two buyers with different needs can read the same history and arrive at different, equally valid decisions.
Trust is generated as a by-product of exchange, embedded in the same record that registers the transaction.
Coordination, memory, and reach that once required institutional scale. Within reach of one person.
Every actor in the food economy has an agent. Those agents, and the drones, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots they direct, coordinate continuously.
The FoodBlock protocol is open. Build applications that read, write, and traverse the food graph.
