Founders

Building an internet and payment layer owned by its users.

Colt Trudell

Founder

Building a simpler internet where identity and money move through one human-readable handle.

Colt is the architect behind Hylaq and Loadit Pay. He built the system from the ground up with a simple belief: the internet and money should be human-readable, user-owned, and unified under a single identity.

By combining handles, wallets, websites, and payments into one non-custodial layer, Colt designed Hylaq to eliminate the friction of links, usernames, and wallet addresses. Loadit Pay extends that vision by allowing value to move as easily as a message.

Hylaq isn't a concept — it's a working platform built from first principles to scale globally.

Ricky Martinez

Co-Founder

Designing technology that feels natural, intuitive, and owned by the people who use it.

Ricky focuses on how people actually experience technology. As Co-Founder, he helps translate powerful infrastructure into something intuitive, clean, and approachable.

He plays a key role in product experience, branding, and real-world adoption — ensuring Hylaq and Loadit Pay don't just work technically, but feel natural the moment someone uses them.

Together, Colt and Ricky are building an internet and payment layer owned by its users — not platforms.
