We build Social Technology 
for the Commons.

Research, prototyping, and implementation of the solutions that enable tomorrow’s society of meaning.

Shifting Paradigms

The Crisis of Meaning is a System Error

We are hyper-connected, yet socially atomized. We are more “efficient” than ever, yet we face a pandemic of loneliness and burnout. Why? Because our current operating system is built on Separation.

We live in an economy that only values what it can price. It prioritizes the transaction over the relationship, and extraction over care. It tells us that success means independence, leaving us isolated in a world where relationships are treated like transactions.

This “Crisis of Meaning” is not a human failure; it is a structural incompatibility. It is the feedback signal that our social infrastructure, our very way of organizing value, is no longer compatible with the human spirit. We are running a society of interbeing on an operating system of extraction.

The Transition

Navigating the Paradigm Shift

We are moving from a system of Extraction to one of Regeneration. This is not just a philosophical change, but a structural one.

Our current ‘operating system’ creates artificial scarcity and competitive isolation. Socialtec provides the architectural alternative: protocols that recognize value beyond price and systems that strengthen, rather than strip-mine, our social fabric.

We are coding the transition across four critical dimensions:

Top-Down Control
Centralized institutions dictate value and rules.
Bottom-Up Stewardship
Collectively managed Commons where communities own their infrastructure.
Proprietary & Closed
Black-box algorithms and data silos.
Open Source & Public
Transparent open standards and user-sovereign data.
Extraction
Privatizing gains while socializing costs.
Regeneration
Circulating value to strengthen the whole ecosystem.
Verification
Biometrics, numbers, and abstract credentials.
Recognition
Trust graphs, reputation, and community contribution.

From Transaction to True Connection

We are restoring the “Social Fabric”, the invisible web of trust that keeps our society vital. In the Dutch Achterhoek and Twente regions, we call this Noaberschap: the timeless duty to look after one another. In the digital world, we call it Sybil-Resistance: the ability to trust that a user is a unique human being.

We are building GIVO, a protocol that digitizes this neighborliness. It creates a privacy-preserving layer where trust is earned through community contribution, not bought or harvested.

Activating Social Capital

GIVO unlocks the untapped potential within neighborhoods by digitizing the timeless duty to look after one another.

We shift the focus from transaction to reciprocity. By lowering the barrier to exchanging time, talent, and goods, we unlock dormant local capital and build a circular economy

Tooling for the Commons

GIVO provides specialized tooling for the commons, offering a resilient mode of governance where communities steward shared resources through negotiated social protocols rather than top-down command.

At the heart of this infrastructure are Circles of Trust, a system built on individual Trust Lines that represent explicit, peer-to-peer acknowledgments of trust

Proof of personhood

We use socially grounded individuality as a solution for digital identity.

GIVO leverages real-world social interactions to deliver “Proof of Personhood” without invasive biometrics. An essential, Sybil-resistant primitive for a secure and decentralized internet (Web3).

As consensus in the real world erodes, and AI challenges our perception of reality, the need for a new social fabric founded on truth becomes increasingly urgent."
