Money is the oldest unsolved system in civilization. This book replaces it. Replacing Money introduces the world’s first correctnesspreserving monetary architecture — a system built not on trust, authority, or institutional guarantees, but on cryptographic event correctness. Instead of patching the failures of modern finance, it rebuilds the concept of money from the substrate up. For centuries, monetary systems have relied on trust: trust in issuers, intermediaries, ledgers, and participants. That trust has been repeatedly broken through fraud, inflation, manipulation, and structural opacity.
