I work on a simple problem that most organizations quietly fail at: enforcing their own rules.

My name is Gary Chigaros. I am a graduate student and a military veteran. My work sits at the intersection of blockchain, governance systems, and autonomous agents, but it started from a more basic observation. In most organizations, the rules that are supposed to govern action do not actually live where action happens.

They exist in documents, dashboards, and assumptions. When something executes, the system executing it rarely verifies whether those rules were actually satisfied.

That gap used to be manageable. With AI agents, it is not.

Once an agent has access to tools or credentials, it stops being an assistant and starts being an operator. At that point, enforcement cannot live in policy documents or after-the-fact review. It has to happen at execution.

That is the problem I am building around.

I am the founder of OrgForge, a cryptographic governance enforcement protocol. OrgForge evaluates actions against machine-readable organizational constitutions and produces signed authorization artifacts before execution proceeds. If the action cannot prove it was authorized, it does not execute.

No proof, no action.

The goal is straightforward: move governance out of the social layer and into the systems that actually run organizations. OrgForge is designed to work across environments, from financial systems to AI agents to internal tooling and smart contracts.

Before this, I spent several years working in and around decentralized finance, studying governance systems in live environments and watching where they break, especially under adversarial or automated conditions.

Most systems assume compliance. I am interested in systems that verify it.
