DESCRIPTION:The cypherpunk dream wasn't just permissionless finance—it wa
 s freedom to conduct peer-to-peer commerce without gatekeepers. Silk Road 
 offered the first glimpse of this world before its collapse shut down that
  vision along with the marketplace. Meanwhile\, Web2 platforms built trill
 ion-dollar empires by intermediating commerce\, extracting 20-30% while co
 ntrolling who can participate. My research fellowship at the Ethereum Foun
 dation examines why blockchain has revolutionized finance but failed to di
 srupt commerce. I'll present how recent advances in programmable cryptogra
 phy\, attestation frameworks\, and AI agents now make it possible to reali
 ze the original cypherpunk vision of trustless commerce—not just for con
 traband\, but for the trillion-dollar markets of goods and services that p
 ower our economy.
