He is working on the Tahoe Least-Authority File Store (or Tahoe-LAFS), a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant filesystem[2][3] released under GPL and the TGPPL licenses. He is the creator of the Transitive Grace Period Public Licence (TGPPL).[4]

Wilcox-O'Hearn is the designer of multiple network protocols that incorporate concepts such as self-contained economies and secure reputation systems.[5] He is a member of the development team of ZRTP[6] and the BLAKE2 cryptographic hash function.[7][8]

Zooko's triangle is named after Wilcox-O'Hearn, who described the schema that relates three desirable properties of identifiers in 2001.[9]

He is founder and CEO of Least Authority Enterprises in Boulder, Colorado.[1][10][11]

He was a developer of the MojoNation[12] P2P system and lead developer of the follow-on Mnet network,[13] and a developer at SimpleGeo.[14]
