The signal

I'm Gianluca Perletti, CTO of Original AI and Noku, and lead author of the ERC-2980 proposal. I build systems that have to work when nobody is watching.

Over the past decade I've shipped multichain wallet infrastructure, city-scale crypto payment networks (like MyLugano), and private enterprise AI agents. I care about sovereignty: over data, over money, and over the machines we delegate decisions to.

My engineering ethos is deeply rooted in cybersecurity, cryptography, and adversarial thinking. I build resilient architectures assuming they are constantly under attack, an approach that has driven me to contribute to core protocols and execution clients. My expertise spans the Bitcoin ecosystem (Core, Lightning Network, and BIP standards) through to networks like Ethereum, Erigon, ICP, Monero, and Zcash, with a focus on Zero-Knowledge (ZK) applications.

In the AI ecosystem, my focus is on the infrastructure and orchestration layers. From deploying open-weights LLMs for enterprise concurrency to designing multi-model routing, I build the engines that make autonomous agents reliable. I design systems that decouple backend engineering from the behavioral layer: infrastructure remains rock-solid, while domain experts shape agent persona, ethics, and reasoning.

I don't do buzzwords. I ship.
