Howard Peng

Protocol Engineer · Mechanism Designer

Technical Director at a $100M Telegram-ecosystem fund — technical due diligence and portfolio support across stablecoin integrations and opcode-cost optimization. I work at the intersection of mechanism design, distributed systems, and market microstructure, building toward multi-agent cooperation and AI alignment.

I care about systems where incentives, not supervision, keep agents honest — designing markets, protocols, and the data layers that let both people and machines reason over them. Right now most of that energy goes into pay-per-call AI video: laying the value-transmission rail (x402 + crypto) before the killer use cases land, and shipping proof along the way.
