Solution Architecture
System design from first principles — data models, protocols and incentives that hold up at scale and over time.
Software Solutions
Engineering the code
behind new economies
and open networks.
We design and develop sophisticated software solutions for a variety of innovative and open source projects — from peer-to-peer data engines to mutual credit currencies.
What we do
Hard problems, elegant systems.
For two decades we've partnered with founders, communities and visionaries to turn ambitious ideas into working technology.
Distributed & P2P Systems
Agent-centric, peer-to-peer applications that do not depend on central servers or gatekeepers.
Currencies & Accounting
Mutual credit, net-zero accounting and value-flow tracking for communities, cooperatives and decentralized networks.
Open Source Development
We build on open foundations and contribute back — because ideas gain value when they're shared.

Legacy projectAbout Us
A team of supergeeks.
Led by Arthur Brock as primary solutions architect, The Geek Gene has been building innovative technology and helping people solve tough problems since its earliest inception.
We were open source before it was fashionable. In an information age, ideas gain value when shared — so we build on open foundations, contribute what we create, and design systems that let communities hold and grow their own value.
Our sweet spot is where deep technology meets new economic and social patterns: currencies, accounting, coordination and the protocols that make them trustworthy.
