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.
AI inference, map tiles, and satellite imagery — all in one atomic job. Your laptop is the datacenter. Every computation has a cryptographic proof. Settled on Stellar in GNS tokens.
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 CPU or GPU — earn GNS tokens. Tier 1 (laptop, CPU only) earns from tiles. Tier 2 (gaming PC) earns from all compute types. Tier 3 (pro GPU) earns 25+ GNS/day. One command: npx @gns-foundation/hive-worker join
AI inference (llama.cpp + Groq backbone), map tile rendering (5 styles, MapLibre-compatible), satellite imagery processing (Sentinel-2 NDVI via Element84). All through one POST /v1/compute endpoint.
Every job writes MobyDB records with Merkle-sealed epoch proofs. Verifiable offline by anyone. The proof footer appears in GCRUMBS and Telegram — tappable, shareable, auditable. No trust required.
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. Unified compute fabric: AI + tiles + satellite. Hive Maps API. MobyDB audit. GNS-AIP compliance layer.
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 @gns-foundation/hive-worker to join the network. Telegram @hai with proof footer — every response shows verifiable compute origin. "I replaced GPT-4 API with my own MacBooks."
@hai in every GCRUMBS install + Telegram. Proof footer viral loop: user sees proof → downloads GCRUMBS → enables Worker → earns tokens → invites friends. 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 4 months.
Five implementation phases shipped in one sprint (April 8, 2026).
The unified compute API, tile rendering, satellite imagery, MobyDB audit layer, and Telegram proof footer are all live today.
The technical foundation is proven. We need capital to scale the network and close enterprise contracts before the August deadline.
