The Future of Digital Trust: Readable Crypto Addresses with American Fortress |Blockchain Interviews

We spoke with Mehow Pospieszalski, CEO of American Fortress, to discuss how his company is fighting back against the $1.2 billion lost to crypto phishing scams in the U.S. last year. With its Send-to-Name technology, American Fortress eliminates risky wallet addresses by generating one-time stealth addresses unique to each transaction, making crypto payments as simple and safe as sending to a username.

We cover the founding vision behind American Fortress, why “Digital Trust, Made in America” matters, and how the AF Token secures this privacy-first infrastructure while meeting U.S. compliance standards. Mehow explains how the platform benefits institutions, developers, regulators, and everyday users, as well as the role it could play in powering secure AI transactions. Backed by leaders like Brock Pierce and Michael Terpin, American Fortress is building the future of trust in digital finance.
