In this episode, I’m joined by David Carvalho, founder, CEO, and Chief Scientist of Naoris Protocol, a decentralized cybersecurity network preparing for a post-quantum world. With a background that includes advising nation states on cyberwarfare, terrorism and espionage, David brings a rare, real-world perspective to the conversation around digital threats and security infrastructure.
We talk about his early start in cybersecurity at age 15, and how the threat landscape has evolved from hobbyist hackers to quantum level warfare. David explains what a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) is, how Naoris’ dPoSec (Decentralized Proof-of-Security) works, and why traditional centralized systems simply aren’t equipped to deal with what’s coming next.
Naoris Protocol is building a security layer that works across both Web2 and Web3 environments, offering interoperability, quantum resistance, and validation through swarm AI and distributed nodes. With $40 million raised and a rapidly growing network of wallets and nodes, the upcoming mainnet launch and Token Generation Event (TGE) represent major steps toward positioning Naoris as a viable alternative to legacy firms like Cloudflare.
We also get into the philosophy behind Naoris, including David’s view that cybersecurity shouldn’t just protect assets but enable ethical wealth creation in a digital world where sovereignty and safety are becoming increasingly intertwined.
Whether you’re a founder, a security professional or just trying to stay ahead of the curve, this episode offers a clear eyed look at the risks of our connected future, and what it is going to take to secure it.

More about Naoris Protocol
Naoris Protocol is a cybersecurity infrastructure network built for the next era of digital threats. Designed as a Post-Quantum Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), Naoris provides a trustless, scalable security layer that works across both Web2 and Web3 environments. It leverages a unique Decentralized Proof-of-Security (dPoSec) mechanism and swarm AI to validate and secure networks in real time — without relying on traditional centralized gatekeepers.
With $40 million in funding, a fast-growing network of wallets and security nodes, and a major mainnet launch and Token Generation Event (TGE) on the horizon, Naoris is positioning itself as a serious alternative to centralized players like Cloudflare. Its focus on ethical innovation, digital sovereignty, and user protection sets it apart in a space where security is often reactive and fragmented.
