Manifesto
The Internet's Trust Problem Has a Solution
How often do you truly trust what you see online? Every day, billions navigate AI‑generated content, misinformation, and data breaches. You’re repeatedly forced to prove yourself—each time exposing more of your privacy.
This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s an erosion of trust and personal agency. We’ve built a digital economy that depends on distrust, and where identity is a commodity.
Users are exhausted from creating endless accounts, businesses are hemorrhage billions annually on fraud prevention while struggling to build genuine value, and developers waste months rebuilding redundant verification systems over and over.
The missing piece isn't another fragmented solution—it's a universal, verifiable layer of proof that works everywhere, and protects users privacy.
NEUS: Network for Extensible Universal Security
NEUS is a decentralized proof-of-anything infrastructure for the internet—a secure, privacy-first verification network that changes how trust works online.
Think of NEUS as the layer between you and every digital interaction. Instead of proving your identity, credentials, or ownership separately to each platform, you prove it once, and that proof works everywhere. You keep your data private and share only the proof.
Our mission is simple: make proof portable, private, and reusable across the internet.
Live and Evolving
NEUS is live today. Deployments span multiple networks and evolve without app‑level breaking changes.
When you need to verify something—identity, ownership, credentials, reputation—NEUS creates a tamper‑evident proof that can be used across websites, apps, and platforms. You reveal only what you choose to share.
What This Means
For users: No more re-verifying on every platform, no repeated data entry, no rebuilding your reputation from scratch. Your digital identity becomes portable.
For companies: Reduced fraud, lower acquisition costs, instant trust verification, and focus on building products—not identity infrastructure.
For developers: A universal foundation to build on—no reinventing verification systems for each use case.
For society: Easier to distinguish between authentic and artificial, truth and manipulation.
The Four Pillars
Private by Default: Prove truth without exposing personal data. Wallet-based identity (did:pkh
). No PII stored by default. Zero-knowledge proofs where needed.
Works Everywhere: One proof, portable across apps, platforms, and chains. Verify once; prove everywhere.
Grows with You: Fully modular architecture and a verifier registry (quality-controlled list of verifiers). The network is extensible without affecting core infrastructure.
Aligned Incentives: Over time, we plan to introduce community-governed mechanisms to drive parameters and incentives. Details will be published before activation. Participation confers no financial or ownership rights.
NEUS is built for forward compatibility; network upgrades and new chains do not require app changes.
What This Means for the Future
We're building the foundation for an internet where trust is shared, privacy is preserved, and truth is verifiable.
Imagine instantly verifying human-authored content, proving qualifications without revealing records, demonstrating cross-platform reputation, or trusting that products, charities, and people are who they claim to be.
This isn't science fiction. The technology exists today, NEUS makes it universally accessible.
Join the Movement
The internet's trust problem won't solve itself. It requires coordinated effort from users demanding better, developers building better, and companies participating in the open.
If you're a developer: Start building with NEUS today. Our documentation is concise, our tech is easy to use, and our community is ready to help. Every integration makes the internet more trustworthy.
If you're a business: Be among the first to offer portable digital identity and privacy‑preserving verification. Early adopters will align with growing user demands for control and privacy.
If you're a user: Create a proof in minutes, and reuse it across apps. Every NEUS user drives impact to create a better internet. Start at neus.network.
We're at a turning point. The demand for privacy, security, and user control has never been higher. The incentives are aligning. What we need now is the collective will to build something better.
