Thesis

Building a company that does good

Digital identity should not be a login outsourced to platforms. We work with open standards — DIDs, verifiable credentials — and applications that keep data in the possession of those who create it.

We explore zero-knowledge proofs in identity flows, digital government, digital democracy, and more circular economies. We do not promise instant revolutions: we document, verify, and publish what we learn.

Peranto connects research, strategic communication, and sovereign software. If a service still uses a traditional payment gateway for pragmatism, we say so; the architecture aims at verifiable on-chain value and payments, with keys held by participants.

Pillars

Lines of work

  • Self-sovereign identity

    Decentralized identifiers and credentials that people control, verify, and revoke.

  • Sovereign infrastructure

    Data and services without single-vendor lock-in. PWAs and architectures that respect possession.

  • Verifiable privacy

    Zero-knowledge proofs and trust design without exposing more than necessary.

  • Digital governance

    Institutions, civic participation, and verifiable trust in public contexts.

  • Purpose-driven tokenomics

    Peer-to-peer value with auditable rules — an alternative to concentrated payment rails and extractive financial infrastructure.

  • Circular economy

    Research horizon: value flows, data waste, and regeneration in digital ecosystems.

Practice

Deployed research

Software in production and open experiments. We prioritize tools you can audit, self-host, or use as-is — without capturing your data.

We are not trying to outscale global market giants. We publish infrastructure so communities can deploy alternatives — mobility, identity, voting, coordination — within boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) and active solidarity economies: local pilots, open source, community-scale growth.

AI-assisted legal and academic writing with verifiable provenance: collaborative editor, LLM agent, C2PA signing, and Polkadot/Substrate identity. Data on your device; code under FSL-1.1-MIT.

Features

  • Collaborative Etherpad editor (same-origin), real-time presence, and PDF, DOCX, and ODT export.
  • LLM agent (Gemini via secure proxy): propose → review → apply workflow on your document.
  • Academic quality evaluation with score, level, and specific areas to improve.
  • Non-repudiable documents: C2PA signing on the server and Substrate signing on the client (Polkadot).
  • Reversible PII redaction by pattern before sending content to the model.
  • PWA with local data; self-host with your API key. FSL-1.1-MIT license (deferred MIT release).
  • Personal accounts or team organizations with per-plan token quotas.
  • Source log with APA citations and traceability of what the agent consulted.

  • Editor with AI assistant: academic criteria, quality level, and contextual advice.

  • Document evaluation with score, level, and specific areas to improve.

  • Local document library with on-device PDF and optional collaboration.

  • Source log with APA citations and traceability of what was consulted.

  • Digital identity: platform account and Substrate wallet on your device.

  • WebAuthn security to unlock the wallet without relying on password alone.

Managed plan (Stripe, optional)

CriterIA does not lock you in: the software is self-hostable and auditable. The managed plan (~$29 USD/month, 2M tokens, up to 5 people) currently bills through Stripe as a convenience — not as the product’s identity. Your on-device Substrate wallet is the trust layer; moving off concentrated gateways is the ecosystem direction, not marketing hype.

Work-in-progress mobility and experiences platform: passengers, drivers, and ops for collectives, transport companies, or taxi fleets. Functional PoC with Polkadot-based identity and payments — not in public production.

What the PoC includes

  • Trip requests with map, fare estimates, passengers, and scheduling; flows for long-duration experience hosts.
  • Substrate/Polkadot base layer for account identity and payment settlement (not only traditional gateways).
  • Separate roles: passenger, driver, fleet admin — aimed at community or enterprise adoption.
  • Panel to manage trips, assign drivers, and approve driver onboarding with documentation.
  • Trip start with location check and PIN or QR code between driver and passenger.
  • Open code and self-hosting: offered to teams who want to pilot it; remaining development is quoted on contact.

  • Passenger: origin and destination with map, estimated route, and trip data (demo).

  • Route confirmation, estimated fare, vehicle type, and trip request.

  • Admin: pending trips list, pricing, and driver assignment.

  • Driver onboarding: personal data, license review, and operator approval.

  • Driver: accepted trip with distance, duration, fare, and route actions.

  • Verified start: GPS location, PIN or QR before the trip begins.

Collective, transport company, or taxis?

Lumo is not Uber at scale: it is infrastructure for local pilots. If your organization wants to adopt it, we review scope together — integration, operations, and roadmap gaps — and agree on remaining development cost without aggressive commercial lock-in.

Yohualli (Nahuatl: midnight darkness). Ongoing research actively seeking funding: non-invasive proof of personhood that verifies a real human without Sybil attacks, preserving privacy and anonymity.

Works wherever authentication must establish a person behind the account — not a bot or Sybil attack — without invasive biometrics or centralizing the social graph in one vendor.

Aware of the digital-identity trilemma (centralization, sovereignty, security): strong on decentralization and sovereignty; weaker on deduplication, because social proofs have low technical Sybil replication cost and need human coordination for a healthy graph.

Zero-knowledge proofs compute the local graph and an optimal weight defined by the verifier to theoretically validate that human “personality.” Technical circuits in Noir (Aztec) with Barretenberg in the lab.

Known limit: ZK is CPU-intensive. A PWA can generate proofs on mid- and high-tier phones; low-end devices are effectively excluded.

Aims for a trust environment with minimal centralization — groundwork for digital government, civic participation, and democratic practice.

Needs patronage and allies from civil society and public democracy institutions; not exclusive if one side is missing.

  • QR code and account formats (Substrate and EVM) for in-person or coordinated attestation ceremonies.

  • Local graph view: attester → subject edges and Tier-SybilRank from the center.

  • P2P relay, local graph in IndexedDB, and verifiable Sr25519 attestation history.

  • ZK lab in the PWA: Noir/Barretenberg circuits (Merkle and subject commitment) with measured prove times.

Signed GPS logbook for mountaineering: verifiable summit evidence for FEACH, without closed commercial rescue apps.

Experiment with Web3 Chile and the Chilean Mountaineering Federation (FEACH): prevent fraud when someone claims a summit without meeting requirements.

Each GPS milestone ties to the climber’s digital identity and cryptographic signature, producing an auditable log for the federation.

Blockchain “radio” for rescuers: listens for emergency remarks and events on Polkadot/Kusama/Paseo with no central backend.

Encoding focused on the on-chain generic events that matter to rescue teams: priority, location, status, and map per alert.

Designed for resilient mobile networks (e.g. Starlink in Chilean cellular). Technical limits remain, but the approach favors availability when centralized services fail.

Under review: Meshtastic and Maven mesh layers to turn analog radio signals into digital ones — a richer architecture that needs more execution budget.

Emergency on screen Click any screenshot to enlarge it.

  • Live blockchain radio: current block, processed events, and listen controls.

  • Active emergencies with priority, type, and GPS coordinates.

  • Emergency detail with map (location, route start, and related track).

  • Local unlock: the wallet does not custody keys on external servers.

Refactor of the discontinued KILT parachain Substrate runtime onto current Polkadot. Verifiable credentials paused: legacy serde no longer matches newer Polkadot serialization packages.

KILT remains the best digital-identity reference we know; the team shut the project down. AuraDID keeps that architecture as open source so we are not locked to one vendor or the on-chain DID and credential model.

Still Substrate: it can run as a solochain and connect to Polkadot for relay payments. Refactoring the inherited runtime is expensive; the most viable medium-term path is migrating identity logic to EVM smart contracts.

Ecosystem base PWA: users own their data — accounts, signing, and connections to Polkadot, Kusama, and PVM (full EVM on Polkadot, Ethereum-interoperable).

Account generation, on-device cryptographic signing (WebAuthn, local encryption), and multi-chain operation with Dedot. Andino Wallet and Emergency Wallet build on this base.

Connects to the Polkadot relay, Kusama, and PVM: a native EVM in the Polkadot ecosystem that stays interoperable with Ethereum without leaving Substrate.

Principles

How we work

  1. 01

    Possession first

    Data belongs to those who generate it. We design to minimize unnecessary custody.

  2. 02

    Verifiable openness

    Code, standards, and results others can audit. Trust is demonstrated, not declared.

  3. 03

    Rigor and utility

    Academic research with practical output. Every claim deserves evidence or code.

  4. 04

    Transparency

    Limits, risks, and work-in-progress visible. We prefer honesty to marketing.
