<h2>4NK: the self-custodial cloud infrastructure</h2>
|
||
<p>For fifteen years, Bitcoin has proven that a decentralized network can secure value without any trusted intermediary. Every block, every signature, every verification is performed by the users themselves. No need for a centralized custodian: everyone can verify, everyone can hold.</p>
|
||
<p>But outside of payments, the digital world still relies everywhere on trusted third parties:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>centralized clouds and servers,</li>
|
||
<li>messaging platforms,</li>
|
||
<li>digital identity services,</li>
|
||
<li>storage solutions.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>These custodians capture data, impose costs, and create points of failure. They are the equivalent of banks before Bitcoin: convenient, but vulnerable and intrusive.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>4NK: Bitcoin beyond payments</h2>
|
||
<p>4NK is a client-side infrastructure layer that extends Bitcoin’s native properties to everyday digital uses:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The resilience of a distributed proof network → every flow becomes verifiable, without relying on a server.</li>
|
||
<li>Money as a universal mechanism → reliable remuneration for security.</li>
|
||
<li>Cryptography as identity → public keys extended into digital identities.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Encrypted messaging: based on non-interactive secret sharing derived from silent payments. Each message generates a unique, encrypted, and untraceable secret, with no third party involved.</li>
|
||
<li>Off-chain contracts: signed by Bitcoin wallets, validated by peers, and linked to a layer-2 oracle (Signet) regularly anchored on the Bitcoin mainnet.</li>
|
||
<li>Distributed storage: files kept locally between stakeholders or in a mesh network, never in cleartext, never in a public cloud.</li>
|
||
<li>Payments in one scan: native Lightning integration, no Stripe, no PayPal.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Everything is operated client-side (Client-Side Validation). No custodian.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Custodian-killer</h2>
|
||
<p>Just as Bitcoin killed the need for a central bank to hold and transfer value, 4NK kills the need for digital custodians to identify, exchange, store, and contract.</p>
|
||
<p>This is not a new blockchain. This is not a token. It is the natural extension of Bitcoin:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>distributed proofs as a foundation,</li>
|
||
<li>money as a universal rail,</li>
|
||
<li>public keys as digital identities,</li>
|
||
<li>secret sharing as sovereign messaging.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The result</h2>
|
||
<p>Making Bitcoin not only the currency of trust, but also the universal infrastructure layer of the digital world:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Simpler login: four words + multisignature across devices.</li>
|
||
<li>Simpler payments: compatible with all Bitcoin rails + integrated Silent Payment wallet (web & mobile).</li>
|
||
<li>Cheaper, no CAPEX: more users = more resources.</li>
|
||
<li>Cheaper, no infrastructure: less tooling, less supervision, less complexity.</li>
|
||
<li>More secure: encryption directly by user identities, redundancy included.</li>
|
||
<li>More resilient: no central point, no centralized rights management.</li>
|
||
<li>Fully verifiable cryptographically via the anchoring layer.</li>
|
||
<li>Everything is a contract: compliance with agreements, norms, and standards is cryptographically enforced between final parties, where the proof system is also the payment system.</li>
|
||
<li>As fast as needed: there is always a route to deliver information.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Our focus</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Local AI experiences integrated into a “Chat First” UX, replacing legacy workflows.</li>
|
||
<li>Effective support, separate from core development.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Our ambition</h2>
|
||
<p>To make Bitcoin not only the currency of trust, but also the universal infrastructure layer of the internet:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>identity,</li>
|
||
<li>messaging,</li>
|
||
<li>contracts,</li>
|
||
<li>storage.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>An internet where the user is sovereign, verification is local, and custodians belong permanently to the past.</p>
