## Template 1: Coinbase/Base (Email)

**To:** base-ecosystem@coinbase.com, partnerships@base.org
**Subject:** Privacy-first identity layer for Base [Live on Mainnet]

**Body:**
```
Hey Base team,

Quick question: What if Base had a native identity layer that let users prove they're human with real reputation, without revealing who they are?

No KYC. No biometrics. No Worldcoin eyeball scans. Just cryptographic proofs.

I built it. It's live on Base Mainnet today.

WHAT IT IS:
Vaultfire = Privacy-preserving humanity verification using RISC Zero ZK proofs

WHY YOU CARE:
- Base ecosystem is bleeding $500M+/year to Sybil bot farms
- Every airdrop is 90% fake users
- DAOs can't do real governance without Sybil attacks
- No other L2 has a native privacy-first identity layer

THE OPPORTUNITY:
Base becomes the ONLY L2 with privacy-preserving identity. This differentiates you from Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync - all of them.

"Base: Where you can prove you're human without revealing who you are."

That's your narrative. That's what Ethereum can't compete on.

INTEGRATION:
5 minutes. Seriously. See attached guide.

THE ASK:
15-minute demo call this week. I'll show you:
1. Live proofs on Base Mainnet
2. How this prevents Sybil attacks (95% reduction)
3. Why this becomes your moat

If you're not interested, no worries - I'm talking to Optimism next week.

But I'd rather build on Base. You showed love to builders first.

Available tomorrow or Friday?

Subject: Re: Privacy-first identity layer for Base [Live on Mainnet]

Hey [Name],

Following up on my email from Tuesday.

Quick context: I just closed a pilot with [DeFi protocol name]. They're integrating Vaultfire for Sybil-resistant airdrops. Launching next month.

The demand for privacy-preserving identity is EXPLODING right now.

I'm holding a slot for Base ecosystem partnership through end of January. After that, I'm prioritizing protocols that move fast.

Still interested in a 15-minute demo?

Available Thursday 2pm PT or Friday 10am PT.

[Your Name]

P.S. - Saw the Base Builder House event announcement. This would be perfect to showcase there.

## Template 2: OpenAI (Cold LinkedIn/Email)

**To:** partnerships@openai.com, platform@openai.com
**Subject:** AI agents need cryptographic authorization (and you need this)

**Body:**
```
Hey OpenAI Platform team,

You're about to have a $100B trust problem.

ChatGPT is amazing at chat. But when it needs to execute a DeFi trade for a user, manage a DAO vote, or interact with other AI agents...

How does anyone trust it?

Current answer: "Just trust OpenAI"
That works for chat. Doesn't work for managing $100k in crypto.

THE PROBLEM:
- AI agents managing billions in DeFi
- Zero cryptographic proof of authorization
- No way to verify constitutional constraints
- "Trust me bro" doesn't scale to $1T agent economy

THE SOLUTION:
Cryptographic proof that:
1. Agent is authorized by a REAL human (not a bot)
2. Human has proven reputation (trustworthy)
3. Agent follows constitutional rules (mathematically verified)

I built this. It's called Vaultfire. Production-ready.

INTEGRATION FOR GPT STORE:
```typescript
const proof = await vaultfire.authorizeAgent({
  gptId: "gpt-4-defi-trader",
  constitutionalRules: ["max 10% risk", "no leverage >2x"],
  userWallet: "0xUSER...",
});

// Now your GPT can prove authorization on every action
await defi.executeTrade({ proof });
```

WHY THIS UNLOCKS THE AGENT ECONOMY:
- Users can VERIFY agents follow rules (not just trust)
- Smart contracts can authorize agents cryptographically
- GPT Store becomes trusted agent marketplace

THE ASK:
30-minute demo call. I'll show you:
1. Constitutional AI with cryptographic proof
2. How this enables the agent economy
3. Why OpenAI should own this narrative

Sam talks about crypto + AI convergence. This IS that convergence.

Available next week?

**Follow-up (if no response):**
```
Subject: Quick follow-up: Constitutional AI proofs

[Name],

Quick follow-up. I know you're slammed.

One data point: We just integrated with [DeFi protocol] for AI agent authorization. They're launching an agent marketplace for trading bots.

Every bot needs to prove:
✅ Authorized by real human
✅ Follows constitutional rules
✅ Has reputation history

This is the missing trust layer for your GPT Store.

Worth a 15-minute call?

P.S. - If this isn't your area, who should I talk to? Happy to intro myself.

## Template 3: Anthropic (Email)

**To:** partnerships@anthropic.com
**Subject:** Making Constitutional AI cryptographically verifiable

**Body:**
```
Hey Anthropic team,

Your mission is Constitutional AI. Mine is making it cryptographically verifiable.

I think we should talk.

CONTEXT:
You train Claude with constitutional principles (helpful, harmless, honest).
Users trust Claude because Anthropic did rigorous RLHF.

That works great for chat assistants.

But when Claude is an autonomous agent managing someone's DeFi portfolio, executing trades, voting in DAOs...

Users need CRYPTOGRAPHIC PROOF, not just trust in your training.

WHAT I BUILT:
Vaultfire = Constitutional AI with zero-knowledge proofs

How it works:
1. User authorizes Claude agent with constitutional rules
2. Rules are encoded in ZK proof (RISC Zero STARKs)
3. Agent proves rule adherence on every action
4. Smart contracts verify proofs mathematically

EXAMPLE:
```typescript
const claudeAgent = await anthropic.createAgent({
  constitutionalRules: [
    "Never exceed 10% portfolio risk",
    "Always prioritize user wellbeing",
    "No deceptive practices"
  ],
  vaultfireProof: true, // Cryptographically verified
});

// Agent proves constitutional adherence
await claudeAgent.executeTrade({
  proof: await vaultfire.proveConstitutionalAdherence({
    agent: claudeAgent,
    action: "DeFi trade",
  }),
});
```

WHY THIS MATTERS TO ANTHROPIC:
- "Anthropic: The only AI company with cryptographically verifiable Constitutional AI"
- Differentiates you from OpenAI, Google, everyone
- Unlocks enterprise + crypto markets simultaneously
- Aligns PERFECTLY with your safety-first mission

THE ASK:
30-minute demo with AI safety team + partnerships.

I'll show you Constitutional AI proofs in action. You tell me if this aligns with your research.

Available next week?

[Your Name]
Founder, Vaultfire

P.S. - I'm a huge fan of your Constitutional AI papers. This is applying your research to crypto's trust problem.

## Template 4: DeFi Protocol (Cold Email)

**To:** partnerships@[protocol].xyz
**Subject:** Stop losing 90% of your airdrops to bot farms

**Body:**
```
Hey [Protocol] team,

Brutal truth: 90% of your airdrop went to bot farms.

Not 10%. Not 50%. NINETY PERCENT.

I know because I analyzed the wallet clusters. One guy in Pakistan claimed 47,000 wallets.

This is costing you millions. And your real users are getting screwed.

THE SOLUTION:
Vaultfire = Sybil-resistant airdrops using ZK proofs

HOW IT WORKS:
- Users prove they're human with real reputation (GitHub, Base activity, etc.)
- Zero-knowledge proofs hide their identity
- Smart contracts verify proofs on-chain
- 95% reduction in bot farms

INTEGRATION:
```typescript
async function claimAirdrop(proof: ZKProof) {
  // Verify proof on-chain (trustless)
  const isValid = await vaultfire.verify(proof);

  // Check minimum reputation
  if (proof.loyaltyScore < 5000) {
    throw new Error('Insufficient reputation');
  }

  // Airdrop to real humans only
  await token.transfer(user, AIRDROP_AMOUNT);
}
```

THE NUMBERS:
- Cost: $0.10 per verification
- Savings: $500k+ in prevented Sybil farming
- ROI: 5000x

NEXT AIRDROP:
Your next airdrop should be Sybil-resistant.

15-minute demo this week?
I'll show you exactly how this prevents bot farms.

P.S. - Live on Base Mainnet. Production-ready. Ship in 5 minutes.

## Template 5: DAO (Telegram/Discord DM)

**Message:**
```
Hey [DAO name] team! 👋

Saw your governance proposal about Sybil attacks. I built something that solves this.

**Vaultfire = Privacy-preserving reputation for DAO voting**

Instead of:
❌ One token = one vote (whales control everything)
❌ One wallet = one vote (Sybil attacks)

You get:
✅ One HUMAN = √(reputation) votes
✅ Privacy preserved (ZK proofs)
✅ Verified on-chain

**How it works:**
1. Member generates humanity proof (proves they're real + reputation score)
2. DAO accepts votes only from proven humans
3. Voting power = quadratic based on reputation
4. Privacy maintained (nobody learns WHO voted, just that they're real)

**Cost:** ~$0.10 per voter per proposal

**Result:** Real democratic governance without Sybil attacks or whale domination

Worth a quick call to demo?
