Disruptive Markets

Before PTT, Erai ran public companies. He added hundreds of millions in market cap and drove tens of millions in annual revenue. He also co-founded the world's first CBD pharmaceutical company to legally import into Latin America, which grew to a $9 billion private valuation.

He was part of the lobbying effort that legalized CBD and THC for medical use in Brazil in January 2015, working directly on the legislative side of the reform. That experience, building inside regulated industries instead of working around them, is what he brings to blockchain now.

Blockchain Evolution

Erai is leading the build of PTT's Layer 1 Proof-of-Work blockchain. Coin, wallet, exchange, marketplace. The whole architecture is designed to work with governments rather than around them.

Same approach as before: understand the regulation, build inside it, let the work do the talking.

Peace Through Trade

# 3

Founding Partner. Building PTT's Layer-1 Proof-of-Work blockchain from the ground up. His read on regulation, capital markets, and emerging tech is what shapes the project's architecture.

Regulation First Focus

How he operates

Erai doesn't build things and hope the law catches up. He understands regulatory frameworks because he's worked inside them, and in some cases, helped write them. That thinking is baked into everything he does.

"With blockchain, we can actually connect the rest of the world more so than we've ever had a chance to do before as a species."

Peace Through Trade

The project he's building now.

PTT is a sustainable, regulation-first Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem. The idea is straightforward: use decentralized infrastructure to make global commerce fairer and more accessible. The coin (PTT) powers the blockchain as its sole gas fee. The marketplace connects buyers and sellers directly. The whole thing was designed to work with governments, not around them.

Erai co-leads this alongside Kyleigha Beckmann.
