Hello

This is the personal website of Vinney Cavallo.

Here are some recent things about me.
(last updated February 05, 2026):
  • I recently appeared on the key pair podcast. This is currently the best way to find out what I've been working on lately and what sort of weird stuff I believe.
  • I've designed and prototyped a protocol - nicknamed Catallax - which is intended to facilitate uncensorable, decentralized gig economies and permissionless payments. Learn more and try it out at catallax.network
  • Whitepaper Books is in business. Buy (almost) any print book with bitcoin
  • You really should have known my dad.

There's an outside chance that if you're on this website in early February 2026, it's because you read an opinion letter that I wrote to my local newspaper. If so, I hope that: you're here for friendly reasons; I didn't upset you; you're curious aboue me.
Whether that's the case or the exact opposite, I encourage you to contact me if you want to discuss it further.

I'm an engineer at OpenNode and a freedom technology enthusiast.

Prevously, I cofounded the (now defunct) Operating Function Company.

I live in Rhode Island with my wife. We used to live in New York but decided, in the spring of 2017, that we wanted a lot more living space, to own a(n old) house with land, and proximity to the ocean.

Below are some other (non-physical) places where I can be found.
