About Metatransformer
Metatransformer is building The Mesh, an open-source federated protocol for AI agent infrastructure. Founded by Nick Bryant, a 23-year engineering veteran whose career spans NASA's Intelligent Robotics Group to private equity fund management, Metatransformer emerged from a practical proof point: replacing $15,000/month in SaaS costs with $250/month of self-hosted mesh infrastructure.
The Mesh implements defensive acceleration (d/acc) principles through cryptographically-enforced human sovereignty — every agent action traces back to a human authorizer through UCAN proof chains.
