About Unicity
A team of PhDs building the infrastructure for machines.
Cryptographers, machine-learning researchers, and systems engineers who built the world's first nationally-deployed blockchain — now rebuilding it for autonomous agents.
PhDs in cryptography, ML & systems

building before launch
Four disciplines, one stack
Where the hard problems converge.
Autonomous agents need all four at once. Most teams have one. We built our careers on the intersection.
Cryptography
15+ years of R&D in hash-based signatures, authenticated data structures, and zero-knowledge proofs.
Machine Learning
Models that classify, intercept, and reason — the intelligence that makes agents safe to deploy.
Distributed Systems
Consensus, edge validation, and parallelism — settlement at machine speed without a shared ledger.
Cybersecurity
Kernel-level enforcement deployed at national scale — security below the model, not bolted on top.
Security by construction
Proven, not observed.
Most agent security guesses at intent after the fact. Ours is built in at the cryptographic layer — and we're taking it all the way to formal proof.
Cryptographic proof, not inference.
A novel cryptographic architecture, not derived from existing chains.
ZK research team — TalTech · ex-Matter Labs · ex-Guardtime.
Competitors use behavioral inference. We provide cryptographic proof.
The IDE for verified agents.
Full dev pipeline
Write → verify → deploy → prove. End to end.
A formal verification language and tooling — practical, not academic.
Mathematical guarantees of agent behavior, not statistical detection.
Today: cryptographic proof of execution. Tomorrow: agents verified by construction.
Heritage
We've done this before.
This team built Guardtime — cybersecurity infrastructure deployed at national scale, securing the data of an entire country and the systems of the world's most demanding organizations.
Not a whitepaper. Production cryptography, in production, for over a decade. Now we're applying that same rigor to the settlement layer for autonomous agents.
