About

I build infrastructure for Bitcoin.

I'm Aaron Tolentino, founder of el Consenso and Taloon Studio. I work from Mexico on mining, finance and tools that turn energy and code into shared prosperity.

el Consenso is an ecosystem that incentivizes communities to build skills, art and automations. The idea is simple: when people own the infrastructure they use, the value they create stays with them.

Taloon Studio is the workshop where that becomes software: a small studio that designs, launches and operates its own products, and partners with founders who want to build on Bitcoin.

What I build today

Compute power, entropy, energy and worlds.

How I work

01

Production first

Software is only real when it handles money, users and failure in the wild. Every project ships early and hardens in use.

02

Clear architecture

Simple systems with justified decisions, written down. Fewer moving parts, more things that keep working at 3 a.m.

03

Incentives over features

The interesting question is not what a product does but who it rewards. Communities that earn together build together.

04

Small team, long horizon

A compact studio that owns its products end to end and measures progress in years, not sprints.

Research and writing

I write to think. Papers on systems and society, essays on money, energy and intelligence, and the occasional piece of fiction. It all lives in one archive.
