Root was born in @JoinEdgeCity Patagonia in November 2025. The main idea appear in a sauna session while we where talking with Colton about the people we met during the pop-up city (too many people) but besides telegram channels and hundreds chats of presentations it was difficult to alling and organize those new connections and visualize common paths of mutual growth. There is where the portable social layer and social graph main idea appear.
alignment + organize + composable + portable + visualization.
A way to advance value with new connections, like a 0 to 1 for people who work with an agenda.
Then I started to mockup this first idea at the @VibeResidency, so in a few hours the first prototype was ready and we get some valuable feedback from main citizens. Later, back at Buenos Aires and with a team, now the co-founder of Root @jaytehsouth , we presented it at @EtherArgentina Hackathon at @EFDevcon won a main track and then a small prize from the Founders and Builders Journey of the local Node of @Scroll_ES .
Right now we are all in actively building Root in @buidlerstech (thanks for the amazing cowork area). Since we have a commitment with building in public we are preparing the MVP to get early traction while we wait for the results of the Global Hackthon from @Mantle_Official, @0xMantleLatAm, @OpenBuildxyz , @HackQuest_ . It would be amazing if we can get with Root to the pop-up city organized in february by @class_lambda and to Shangai @themu_xyz@sunbh_eth to test and stress it in real.
Without taking into account the results of this hackathon we have commitment with Root to keep it building it.
So if you have come here reading and something of this resonates with you, we can talk.
PS. ยฟRemeber that Colton? Ok, he do not have X, i know is rare at a minimal expresion, but I owe him a debt so you can find him on Linkedin with his Patent Buissness in California

PS 2. I dream for a place where we can trust each other meaningless the platform we use.
PS 3. We love grounded bottom up. Thats why we are ROOT..
The most expensive part of LATAM raise isn't the fund that says no.
It's the three weeks you burned chasing one that went quiet in 2023 and never said so.
So we mapped LATAM's funds and accelerators for 2026 and dated every one.
Now you can tell before you spend weeks.
Weโre building Root: making trust legible.
Not more reach. Not more noise.
Better context. Better bridges.
Better outcomes.
Weโll share what weโve learned along the way.
In 2025, $17B was the estimated total loss to on-chain scams and fraud (@chainalysis).
Every dollar of it: social fraud. Not hacks. Not exploits.
Pure social engineering.
People who didn't know who they were dealing with.
No context. No one to answer for it.
What if every intro came with verifiable on-chain reputation behind it,
built from every deal the person making it has closed before?
OH WAIT. We're building exactly that on @rootgraph_xyz ๐ฑ
We completely redefined the onboarding for Root.
The old version asked too much, too soon. You had to set things up before we even showed you what Root actually does.
So we flipped it. Value first.
Three screens. That's all it takes to understand why Root exists โ and why it matters for your career in web3.
If you don't get it in those 3 screens, we failed.
Today at 4pm we will be at the offices of @buidlerstech presenting @rootgraph_xyz .
It is not a traditional pitch or talk, we are going to test the product live, listen to feedback and invite you to be part of Root's first trust graph.
It's a hands-on to test, break and discuss the product.
Thank you @buidlerstech for the incredible space ๐ซถ
