Offline Protocol @OfflineProtocol
Title: Founding Sales Lead
Description:
Offline Protocol is building infrastructure that keeps users connected in bandwidth-constrained or fully offline environments.
They're hiring their first sales hire to own outbound from day one. Source leads, run discovery calls, close pilots, and build the sales playbook from scratch alongside the founder.

Between @varun_mathur with Pods, @gajesh with Darkbloom on @eigencloud, @jack with MeshLLM, and @swar_ja with Grove, I’m really happy to see more innovation in the decentralized compute space.
We’re cooking up something here at @OfflineProtocol and so excited to share it soon!
Introducing Pods
Hyperspace Pods lets a small group of people - a family, a startup, a few friends, to pool their laptops and desktops into one AI cluster. Everyone installs the CLI, someone creates a pod, shares an invite link, and the machines form a mesh. Models like Qwen 3.5
Preorders are now open for IntelligenceMesh!
- Compatible as a mesh node with all @OfflineProtocol apps (Fernweh V2, MINE, IntelligenceMesh)
- Compatible with @BitchatMe_ (one team @jack)
- Compatible with anything you build on our offline SDKs
- Connects with offline apps and hardware as an incentivized mesh relay
- Pairs with a companion tiny AI app with local resources
- Provide local emergency alerts and automatically syncs preparedness knowledge base
- Syncs knowledge with other local users
- Includes devkit, modules, theme manager to display your own themes, stats, and apps
- Includes detailed setup instructions for even the most non-technical users to easily use it well
I’ll personally be handling each order, setting it up with the software, and shipping it out with a mystery gift at my cost for your support on our first ever hardware experiment! Genuinely means the world to have so much excitement for this.
Preorder for $50, link below:
Vibe check ~ would you buy this for $50?
- Compatible with all Offline Protocol apps
- Compatible with anything you build on our SDKs
- Acts as an incentivized mesh relay
- Pairs with companion app to serve a tiny AI with local resources
- Syncs knowledge with other local users
Currently tinkering on the world’s smallest dynamic digital mesh node
> will run an offline protocol node
> provide localized data inference
> offer bidirectional intelligence for other apps and hardware in the mesh
> portable enough to always carry
> host a services marketplace
I’m running localized intelligence inference completely offline on my new watch that I built myself and you’re somehow still not bullish on offline protocol? silly behavior
@jtriley2p @brennuet Appreciate the feedback! We’re in the process of open sourcing our meshSDK and other components of our infrastructure stack. Offline Protocol will eventually be majority open sourced and fully decentralized to serve our users and developer communities.
“Reviewing Offline, it's hard not to notice the broader divergence happening at the application layer across crypto right now. On one side, a seemingly endless conveyor belt of speculation. On the other, a determined push toward something more difficult to build and easier to underestimate: sovereign technology.”
Thanks for the feature, @Bankless!

We accomplished this with $0 marketing spend, no public events, and no sponsorships
2026 we have even larger goals
It’s interesting to see how first world, homegrown biases still cloud the tech industry’s judgment when it comes to evaluating ‘global’ solutions.
This month:
- news that 87M Vietnamese lose their bank accounts because they won’t authorize w/biometrics
- entire country of Afghanistan goes offline
- US govt shuts down
- grid attacks reported across major US cities
-NYtimes runs a bizarre op-ed about how the future of finance “can’t be trusted in those crypto people’s hands,” also argues against regulation
And somehow at crypto’s biggest conference my clients are still competing for panels that vaguely touch on stablecoins as ‘the killer app’ and review yield products for investors.
We are missing the plot.
While we gloss over the real power of stablecoins in an unstable world, and companies like @OfflineProtocol continue to hear from VCs that lack of internet access is a non-problem, millions of people are beginning to experience what it feels like to be uncomfortable: losing services that are just supposed to work when you’re a taxpayer.
Ironically as tech moves forward, other parts of society break down. If crypto comes back to its roots it might discover that now offers the easiest runway yet for mass adoption. THAT is a conference I’d attend. That’s one I’d help build. Anyone else?
The internet has been completely shut down in Afghanistan, according to our internal data.
Our tools help to bypass censorship, but here access has been cut off.
We stand against acts like this and believe that both privacy & freedom of speech are human rights.

For a free internet where everyone has access to information and communication.
When you do have access to the internet then protect your data with NymVPN.

#BREAKING
Internet Services Resume in Afghanistan
All telecommunication networks in the country have resumed internet and communication services.
The activities of internet and telecommunication networks across Afghanistan had been cut off nearly 48 hours ago.
So far,
Every few weeks there’s an internet shutdown in some part of the world and the crypto and payments communities wake up to what I’ve been speaking about loudly for over a year. The internet is vulnerable. Natural disasters, wars, censorship, global mobility have made it so.
The ONLY real solution to this connectivity crisis is Offline Protocol. It is the only smartphone-first digital solution with a holistic ecosystem for communication, payments, information, and identity which allows entire economies to function autonomously without any internet or traditional connectivity. Not Starlink, not Bitchat, not anything else can do what we do, how we do. We enable fully self-sustaining and sovereign communities that can function and survive completely independently forever.
If you still don’t get it, start paying attention.
