The lab — brandonmenard.dev
This is the side that doesn't pay yet. Protocols, forums, operating systems — the stuff I build because nobody asked for it. The paid work lives on the main site.
$ ls ./builds —— 7 volumes mounted
Every one of these started as a post on the page. These are the live versions.
A Layer 1 built quantum-resistant from genesis, not patched into it later. Ticker: XRGE.
Encrypted wallet, messenger and mail in one app. Send value and words down the same private pipe. Now a native app — free on the App Store, APK for Android.
The forum the internet forgot how to be. No shadowbans, public moderation logs, self-promo allowed.
↗AI image and video generation with model personas, plus a creator earnings program.
↗A full desktop operating system that boots inside a browser tab. The post that did 28.2K.
↗A photo network where the account is a key you hold, posts are signed on-chain and images live on IPFS. Nothing can be quietly removed.
↗Streaming where tracks are minted as NFTs. Artists keep their keys, plays are transparent, and the contract handles royalties instead of a label.
