The company, the coin, and the consensus problem — answered plainly. Anything else: inquiries@byzantinesolidus.com.
What is Byzantine Solidus, Inc.?
Byzantine Solidus, Inc. is a holding company headquartered in Miami, Florida, founded in 2026. It builds and holds businesses that make digital money durable. Its first holding is SafeBank, the financial operating system for programmable money.
Is Byzantine Solidus a fund?
No. Byzantine Solidus is a holding company, not an investment fund: it owns and operates businesses with permanent capital and no fund clock, exit window, or harvest schedule. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security.
What is SafeBank, and how is it related to Byzantine Solidus?
SafeBank (safebank.ai) is the financial operating system for programmable money — accounts, payments, yield, and cards for people, businesses, and AI agents. It is the first holding of Byzantine Solidus, Inc., which is its parent company.
Why is the company named after a coin?
The Byzantine solidus held its weight and purity for roughly seven hundred years — proof that durable money is achievable when the issuer refuses to cut corners. The name is the company's benchmark: build financial infrastructure meant to be measured in decades, not quarters.
What was the Byzantine solidus coin?
The solidus was a gold coin introduced by Constantine around AD 312, struck at seventy-two to the Roman pound — about 4.5 grams of nearly pure gold. It kept that standard for roughly seven hundred years and was accepted from Scandinavia to Sri Lanka, making it one of history's most successful currencies.
What is the Byzantine Generals Problem?
A 1982 computer-science riddle by Leslie Lamport, Robert Shostak, and Marshall Pease: how can parties who communicate over unreliable channels — some of them dishonest — still reach agreement? Its solutions became Byzantine fault tolerance, the mathematics beneath modern blockchain consensus. It is the second meaning in the company's name.
Who are the members of Byzantine Solidus?
Roberto Delli, Lance Ennen, Micah Kershner, and Arnold Thorstad — operators with decades in payments infrastructure, fintech, digital identity, global consulting, and international operating companies.
