ULISSY builds the protocol that gives AI agents, humans, and devices a cryptographic identity grounded in geography — and the compute network that makes AI private, distributed, and owned by its users.
4 billion AI agents will be deployed by 2028. None of them have verifiable identity, location, or jurisdiction. They operate with API keys — anonymous, stateless, unaccountable.
Passwords are stolen. Biometrics are permanent. Social logins are owned by corporations. 3.5 billion people lack digital identity entirely. The current system was never designed for a world of AI.
The EU AI Act (August 2026) demands AI traceability and jurisdictional accountability. No existing protocol can provide it. $35M+ in fines per violation. Companies have no solution.
GNS is to identity what DNS is to domains. A naming resolution protocol — but instead of mapping names to IP addresses, it maps cryptographic identities to physical presence.
The first distributed AI inference network where your laptop is the datacenter. No cloud. No subscription. No data collection. Powered by GNS identity.
Every AI conversation uses the same X25519 + ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption as human messages. The Hive network never sees plaintext. Verified with Ed25519 signatures.
Share your idle GPU → earn GNS tokens. Every inference request settles on Stellar. 40% to contributors, 35% community pool, 15% gateway, 10% foundation.
Hive Workers have GNS identity bound to H3 cells. Inference can be constrained to specific jurisdictions — "process only in EU" — for regulatory compliance.
OpenAI-compatible API. Switch from GPT-4 to Hive by changing one URL. Supports Llama, Phi, Mistral — any GGUF model, any device, anywhere.
Mobile-first identity, messaging, payments, and AI. Free for users. @hai built-in AI assistant. Earn tokens by contributing GPU.
AI orchestration with geospatial identity. Hive compute network. GNS-AIP compliance layer. Enterprise agent governance.
Italian s.r.l. (Rome). Builds both products. Commercial revenue from enterprise services, verification APIs, and organization namespaces.
GCRUMBS drives adoption. Users download the free app → message @hai → hit rate limit → install Hive Worker → earn tokens → tell friends. GEIANT drives revenue. Enterprises buy GNS-AIP compliance, Hive compute SLAs, and organization namespaces. Both run on the same GNS Protocol + Hive network. Every consumer who joins makes the enterprise product better. Every enterprise that deploys makes the consumer network faster.
10B supply on Stellar. Utility token for identity operations, settlement, staking. No public sale. FINMA pre-assessed as pure utility. Revenue from protocol-level demand.
GNS-AIP SDK, Hive compute SLAs, compliance dashboards, organization namespaces. Subscription pricing: €5K-50K/year depending on agent count and SLA tier.
Handle registration (free tier + premium). Organization namespaces (€49-299/yr). Verification API per-query pricing. Payment routing fees (IDUP layer).

OpenClaw Hive Provider (335K+ users). npx @geiant/hive-worker to join the network. "I replaced GPT-4 API with my own MacBooks." Dev community amplification.
@hai in every GCRUMBS install. Free AI → hit limit → contribute GPU → unlimited + earn. Discord/gaming beachhead. Trajectory Badge gamification (5 tiers).
Terna, FiberCop, Ferrovie dello Stato. GNS-AIP compliance dashboards. Jurisdiction-bound AI agents. "Your AI runs on YOUR infrastructure, auditable, EU AI Act compliant."
Each new consumer makes the enterprise product faster. Each enterprise deployment adds capacity for consumers. Network effects on both sides.

The EU AI Act goes into enforcement August 2, 2026. Every company deploying AI in Europe needs jurisdictional identity for their agents. There is no solution. We have the protocol, the product, and the enterprise pipeline. The window is 5 months.
