Building the Infrastructure of Trust in the Age of Verification

Cooper Squirrell is the Founder of The Verification Economy. He is building blockchain-powered systems that make digital processes — especially voting — tamper-proof, independently verifiable, and transparent by design.

Through UrVote, Cooper has developed one of the simplest and most secure ways to vote using blockchain technology. Every ballot is recorded on-chain, voters can self-verify their votes, and organizations can share live, auditable election results in real time. His work sits at the heart of the emerging Verification Economy — where proof replaces claims, and cryptographic verification becomes the foundation of trust in digital democracy, identity, and decision-making systems. At UN Blockchain Week he shares how verifiable infrastructure can restore confidence in elections and other high-stakes digital processes.
