Meet the DC cypherpunk.

Capitol Hill Coin Center SEC

Landon Zinda knows Washington from the inside and crypto from first principles. From advising lawmakers on the Hill to serving as Coin Center’s Policy Director and now on the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, his career brings cypherpunk ideas into the rooms where policy takes shape.

At Coin Center, he defended the freedom to publish code, the right to privacy, and the principles behind permissionless DeFi. Now he joins Josh Swihart, CEO of ZODL, for an evening that puts the builders of private money and the people shaping policy at the same table.

PGPZ convenes. Project Glitch brings its programming and cypherpunk perspective. The ambition: make financial privacy a starting point for policy, rather than an afterthought.

If you build it, defend it, or want policy to protect it, you belong at this table.
