A Swiss Stiftung, in formation in Zug.
The TRELYAN Foundation is the legal vehicle that holds the protocol, the treasury, and the standing fiduciary obligation to the Cell cohort. Swiss civil law for the structure — the Stiftung being the only Continental form that delivers irrevocable purpose, perpetual existence, and supervisory accountability without equity. Algorand for the substrate. Zero personal capital for the founder, by signed commitment.
Swiss Stiftung. Counsel engaged. Genesis 2028.
The Foundation incorporates under the Schweizerisches Zivilgesetzbuch articles 80 to 89-bis, governed by a Stiftungsrat of three to five members and supervised by the Eidgenössische Stiftungsaufsicht (federal foundation supervisory authority). The Foundation is the on-chain issuer of the Vault Cells, the fiduciary steward of pre-sale proceeds, and the long-term custodian of the inscription contract. It holds no equity — the project has none to hold; the Stiftung form is, by Swiss design, equity-less and beneficiary-defined by purpose rather than ownership.
Counsel of record: LEXR Zürich (Christian Meisser, partner — Swiss DLT-Act and FINMA crypto-licensing practice). Counsel alternates: MME Legal (Luzius Meisser) and Kellerhals Carrard (Cornelia Stengel) — both holding established public records of FINMA pre-rulings in the digital-asset domain.
One named person. Accountable, signed, witnessed.

Paris → New York · Engineer-trained · Multilingual operator
A multilingual operator with an engineer's training and a long-time presence in crypto, blockchain, and high-tech innovation. Full-stack developer (Columbia, 2019); BBA in International Business. Standing obsessions: post-quantum cryptography, the physics of information, and the question of what survives when the foundations shift.
TRELYAN is the protocol he has been building toward for years: a post-quantum inscription mechanism that treats digital permanence as a scientific claim rather than a marketing one.
A three-section letter, signed before the protocol exists.
Before raising a single dollar and before incorporating the foundation, the founder executed a three-section commitment letter to himself, witnessed and counter-signed by a discreet third party who reviews the project on a quarterly cadence. Section I states the why; Section II binds seven time-stop conditions including a legal-viability stop at month eighteen and an audit-failure stop at month twenty-four; Section III binds eight money-articles and seven money-stop conditions, including a hard founder-capital stop fixed at zero dollars of personal contribution. The stops are sequential, falsifiable, and audit-friendly: each one is a condition under which the project terminates, with the residual treasury returning to Cell-holders pro rata.
The letter itself is private. Its existence and its stop-condition structure are public and disclosed in the Token Classification Memo. The Cells the project sells are protected by it.
