Nutrios

Nutrios is a food-matching protocol and app that appeared in 2021 and separates menu content from production capacity: chefs publish dishes as on-chain assets, users swipe on food photos, an algorithm converges on preferences over time, and an order triggers matching of the recipe to a nearby shared kitchen for cooking and delivery, with liked dishes written into a social graph. The team chose NFTs to settle content ownership because recipes are copied freely across blogs and social platforms and original authors struggle to assert rights.

The early build ran on Solana, then moved wholesale to Aptos in March 2022 after congestion created operational risk, with contracts rewritten in Move because its resource model expresses asset ownership and access rights more directly. The pain point it targets is the roughly 30% commission delivery platforms charge restaurants, with search ranking influenced by ad spend so restaurants pay more and receive less. Focus later shifted to AI ordering under the Epicuri name, and development of Nutrios as a standalone app stopped.
