Jeromy Johnson

First employee at Protocol Labs. Led development on IPFS, Coinlist, Filecoin. Co-founded Mana Management LLC (incorporated 2022-11-18) with jimmy-lee.

Why this matters

• Built the decentralized storage layer that half of web3 runs on — IPFS and Filecoin
• Guild’s Solana-backed points ledger is not a novelty pitch to him; it’s a thesis he’s lived for years
• The protocol/infrastructure half of Mana. Jimmy is the builder/product guy, Jeromy is the protocol guy. Guild touches both.
• “Member-owned loyalty data on-chain” maps directly to his career building decentralized ownership infrastructure
