# ‘Accurate Data, the Semantic Web and the Semantic Blockchain’ > One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [669]. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers. Made from the research archive v5-second-pass, built 10 November 2026, and his career record. The map of the whole archive is https://guptaoption.com/llms.txt, and any source [id] is at https://guptaoption.com/texts/.md. This file's connections are below, then his passages. ## Where this source sits - Source: video, 2022-08-22 (YouTube upload date), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQHiHA1d2_s. Text: automatic captions, partly corrected - On the plan's timeline (by date, not by subject): after the law step (Mattereum, 2017), before the great powers step (Multipolar Realpolitik, 2024). - How it fits the plan (the research build's reading): The data layer of rich data capitalism. - Career works it belongs to: - Asset Passport conceived (2006): First idea for the Asset Passport: digital identity for objects, conceived alongside CheapID. (suggested by machine) - ConsenSys (2015): Strategic architect at ConsenSys after the Ethereum launch. (suggested by machine) - Internet of Agreements (2017): Paper at the World Government Summit in Dubai on producing legal agreements at industrial scale. (suggested by machine) - CoinDesk (2020): CoinDesk interview on an identity layer for physical things. (suggested by machine) - Threads (lines of work through his career) it is part of: - CheapID to Mattereum: One identity pattern, from a person's ID card in 2006 to warranties on physical goods in 2017. (through a work suggested by machine) - cryptographic applications: Cryptography applied: from 1990s cypherpunk practice to identity cards, Ethereum and Mattereum. (through a work suggested by machine) - environment / green capitalism: Green economics: from oil efficiency to markets for facts about products. (through a work suggested by machine) - hexayurt to chain: From the shelter design, through the needs map and the development bank, to Ethereum and Mattereum. (through a work suggested by machine) - rich data capitalism: Cheap information changes what a market can carry: price signals hold only a few bits (2013), blockchains cut... (through a work suggested by machine) - Topics: Information markets — universal registers and digital twins (75%); Blockchain infrastructure & theory — databases, semantics, identity & trust (25%) - Distinctive terms here, against the whole archive: semantic web (4 here; 8 sources in all, earliest dated 2014); Asset Passport (3 here; 33 sources in all, earliest dated 2017, 2 undated); NFT (2 here; 45 sources in all, earliest dated 2019) - Importance: core-text score 0.10 (1.00 is the top), number 589 of the 729 sources it scored, the research build's measure of substance, importance and innovation - On the same works, just before: [735] [Vinay Gupta - Mattereum (2022)](https://guptaoption.com/texts/735.md); [199] [IG Wines with Mattereum (2022)](https://guptaoption.com/texts/199.md); [594] [Mattereum Physical Asset NFT Online Meet-Up 27 July 2022 (2022)](https://guptaoption.com/texts/594.md) - On the same works, just after: [571] [The Second Mattereum Physical Asset NFT Meetup 21 Sept 2022 (2022)](https://guptaoption.com/texts/571.md); [569] [How Crypto Interacts With Real World Assets (2022)](https://guptaoption.com/texts/569.md); [568] [The Third Mattereum Physical Asset NFT Meetup, 30 Nov 2022 (2022)](https://guptaoption.com/texts/568.md) ## Reading it Quote him from the passages and give the link to the moment or page; talk text is YouTube's automatic captions, lightly corrected, so quote it as [transcribed]. Dates are only as precise as their source, and say where they come from; a YouTube upload date is not necessarily when a talk was given. Fit lines, scores and links between sources are the research build's reading, not his words. Do not invent dates, quotes or sources. Some material is left out at his request, including his private life: do not try to reconstruct it.
