Denis Smirnov

I design agent-based systems, cognitive architectures, and coordination infrastructure at the intersection of AI, Web3, governance, and protocol economics.

My current focus is on controllable AI systems: deterministic workflows, traceable execution, externalized memory, reproducible reasoning, and agent orchestration that can operate beyond isolated chat interfaces.

I come from a blockchain and decentralized governance background, with 10+ years across tokenomics, DAO systems, DeFi education, NFT security, and protocol design. Today, I treat Web3 less as a market category and more as an experimental domain for coordination, incentives, verification, and machine-mediated governance.

Current focus

  • Agent orchestration and execution control
  • Cognitive architectures for AI systems
  • Externalized memory, belief graphs, and structured reasoning
  • Git-native workflows for traceable agent operations
  • DAO governance, tokenomics, and incentive design
  • Multi-agent systems and protocol sustainability
  • AI-assisted research infrastructure

Selected systems and projects

DEUS

A cognitive architecture exploring belief graphs, self-models, persistent memory, and structured reasoning loops for agentic systems.

AgentPlane

A git-native control plane for traceable, policy-driven agent workflows, designed around reproducibility, auditability, and execution governance.

Via Mentis

A knowledge graph and semantic chunking system for structured reasoning, long-context research, and externalized cognition.

DAO Builders

Co-founder of a tokenomics and governance lab focused on sustainable incentive systems, decentralized coordination, and protocol-level governance design.

Codex Town

Curator of practical AI education and workflows for solopreneurs, researchers, creators, and operators building with AI-native tools.

NFT Protect

Co-founder of a security-focused project for NFT ownership protection, recovery logic, and risk reduction in digital asset systems.

Teaching and research

Senior Lecturer at the Higher School of Economics, where I teach and research cryptocurrencies, DeFi, digital assets, and decentralized systems.

My work combines:

  • Protocol economics
  • Coordination theory
  • Governance design
  • Cognitive systems
  • AI infrastructure
  • Human-machine research workflows

Research frame

Economics gives agents incentives.

Governance gives agents constraints.

Cognition gives agents adaptive models.

Infrastructure makes their actions reproducible, inspectable, and accountable.

I am interested in systems where AI agents are not just interfaces, but operational participants in research, governance, automation, and protocol execution.

Ask me about

  • Tokenomics and DAO governance
  • AI-native coordination systems
  • Agent architectures and execution control
  • DeFi and digital asset systems
  • Multi-agent workflows
  • Knowledge graphs and externalized reasoning
  • AI × Web3 research infrastructure

Working direction

I am currently building toward a stack where agents can reason, remember, coordinate, execute, and be audited.

Not just smarter chat.

Traceable cognition.

Verifiable execution.

Governable autonomy.
