RNDA is a data protocol where raw input is encoded to 256 bytes and permanently discarded. Not encrypted — gone. The data can't be breached because it doesn't exist. Proven across 31 data types: genomics (140,835x), quantum circuits on IBM hardware (351,939x), medical imaging, AV sensors, oil & gas. SSL made unencrypted traffic obsolete. JWT made session storage obsolete. RNDA makes raw data storage obsolete. Multiple patents filed.
I'm Jordan Etzig — casino shift manager by day, protocol builder by night.
I taught myself patent law from scratch and filed multiple patents at $130 each. Validated RNDA across 31 data types using real public datasets while working full time. No CS degree. No outside funding. No team.
The demo video shows the full process in under 60 seconds: an 86MB IBM quantum circuit encoded to 256 bytes, the original permanently deleted, and a reconstruction attempt that returns "~10^72 possible inputs — impossible."
SSL made unencrypted traffic obsolete. JWT made session storage obsolete. RNDA makes raw data storage obsolete.
Happy to answer anything — the technology, the patents, or what it's like building a foundational data protocol from a casino floor.
Interesting approach. In regulated workflows, reducing stored raw data could solve a lot of security concerns, but I imagine observability and debugging become much harder.
Feels like the operational trade-offs here are just as important as the security benefits.

Who hunted RNDA?
RNDA was hunted by Jordan Etzig. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
