Fangorn is the if-statement for Web3; a programmable logic layer for encrypted data. No middleman imposing policies, no server storing a password, and nobody who can usurp your own agency.
Programmable Secrets
Encrypt data using logical conditions, not secret keys.
Zero-Knowledge
Privacy preserved through cryptographic proofs
Trustless
No intermediaries, no central points of failure
Where cryptography meets intention
Secure your data by specifying your own conditions with no intermediary. Data remains protected, censorship resistant, and only decrypts when the right conditions are met.
Intent-Bound Data
Encrypt for a provable condition, not a secret key. With programmable unlock conditions, whether it's a specific block height, oracle data, or multi-party consensus, your data stays sealed until conditions are met
Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Extensible, TEE-free verification. Use our composable zk-gadget framework to set arbitrary conditions, proving the "if" without revealing the "what"
Multi-Chain Support
Fangorn can be integrated into any EVM L2 that supports efficient proof verification.
Trustless Threshold Encryption
Powered by Lit Protocol's threshold encryption network, Fangorn ensures that your "if-then" logic is enforced by a distributed set of nodes. No server ever holds a key to your data.
HOW IT WORKS
Meet the team
We are a team of cryptography and mathematics enthusiasts united by shared interests and a shared vision: a world where individuals have true control over their data.
Tony Riemer
Co-Founder
Tony is an architect of secure systems with a career spanning enterprise fintech at Capital One and deep blockchain infrastructure at Ideal Labs. Through multiple Web3 Foundation grants, he has demonstrated a mastery of advanced cryptography, ensuring Fangorn’s foundations are technically uncompromising. He specializes in translating complex cryptographic theory into the production-ready code required to solve real-world architectural challenges.
Coleman Irby
Co-Founder
Coleman is a self-driven technologist with a BS in Electrical Engineering and an MS in Physics. His career began in software engineering, spending six years in enterprise fintech at Fannie Mae before returning to school to study advanced Physics. He specializes in rapidly mastering complex domains and bringing rigorous analytical thinking to new challenges, now channeling that ability into building out the shared vision for Fangorn.
OUR VALUES
Privacy First
We believe data privacy is a fundamental right. Every decision we make prioritizes user control and data sovereignty.
Transparent Innovation
Open-source by default. We build in public and share our research with the community.
Patient Progress
We take the long view. Quality and security over speed.
Growing with intention
Our journey from concept to full ecosystem. Each phase builds on the last, creating a robust foundation for the future of intent-bound data.
Coming Soon
We're mapping out our path forward. Check back soon for our detailed roadmap and milestones.
