🚨 SEEKING SEED FUNDING: $250K to build MVP and deploy in disaster coordination pilot. Contact us | Read White Paper | Join Discord
Has-Needs is coordination infrastructure that works when everything else fails. It's:
- Mesh-native: Works offline, auto-expands under load, self-heals when infrastructure fails
- Privacy-preserving: Personal sovereignty chains, zero-knowledge proofs, explicit consent at every step
- Community-driven: Living ontology emerges from real-world validated actions, not imposed top-down
- Crisis-ready: Designed for disaster response, displacement coordination, and community resilience
Communities facing crisis—natural disasters, political upheaval, infrastructure collapse—have no resilient coordination tools. Existing systems:
- ❌ Require internet connectivity (fails in disasters)
- ❌ Can be shut down or surveilled
- ❌ Extract community data without consent
- ❌ Don't work across jurisdictions or languages
Every interaction is a simple triplet: [Entity, Relation, Context]
- Entity: Person, organization, resource, community
- Relation: HAS (capability/resource) | NEEDS (requirement) | WORKING (active commitment)
- Context: Time, location, conditions, governance scope
Example:
[ShelterX, NEEDS, medical aid | 5 injured, urgent, GPS:coordinates]
[DrSmith, HAS, emergency medicine | available now]
→ Match occurs, commitment recorded
[DrSmith, WORKING, medical aid to ShelterX | ETA 10 min]
All on a mesh network that works without internet. All with privacy preserved. All validated and recorded.
Three factors converge:
- Climate displacement accelerating - Communities need coordination that doesn't depend on functioning infrastructure
- Technology finally ready - Mature mesh protocols (libp2p), decentralized identity (DXOS), composable architecture (SmallWeb), Peer to Peer browser and IPFS management (Agregoire Browser) now exist as production-ready tools
- Political instability increasing - Vulnerable populations need privacy-preserving coordination that can't be compromised
We have a 6-12 month window to build and deploy before either major crises create urgent unmet demand or surveillance infrastructure makes alternatives impossible.
County emergency management coordination when cellular/internet fails. First deployment partner already identified.
Mutual aid networks, neighborhood coordination, resource sharing in crisis.
Protocol enables tribes to protect traditional knowledge while participating in broader coordination, on their terms.
Coordination infrastructure for displacement, migration, resource scarcity.
Merit-based interaction, circular economy, sovereignty-preserving value exchange.
Proven Components:
- Core Platform: DXOS (peer-to-peer, sovereign identity, CRDTs, encrypted sync)
- Mesh networking: libp2p (used by IPFS, Ethereum, Polkadot - already integrated in DXOS)
- Large object storage: IPFS (content-addressed, decentralized)
- Language: Rust + TypeScript (performance, safety, web compatibility)
Novel Architecture:
- Jitterbug network topology (biomimetic expansion/contraction)
- Living ontology (categories emerge from validated action)
- Triple-function data model (same triplet serves three purposes)
- Enforced sovereignty (cryptographic + protocol-level)
→ Full Technical Specification
Architecture: ✅ Complete (15 years of development, informed by disaster specialists and evolutionary biologists)
Implementation: 🔄 Seeking funding for 6-month MVP development
Deployment Partners: ✅ County Emergency Managers interested in pilot exercise
Revenue Model: ✅ Validated (5% of realized disaster savings, implementation services)
Team:
- Lead Architect: 15 years developing coordination systems
- Advisor: Dr. Dan Diamond (world-renowned disaster specialist)
- Advisor: Dr. William B. Miller (evolutionary biologist, emergent systems)
- Triplet data model + NextGraph personal chains
- Mesh networking layer (libp2p)
- Peer discovery and state synchronization
- Cryptographic identity (DXOS)
- Semantic graph matching engine
- Geospatial map interface
- UI for needs/offers
- Offline-first sync
- Security audit
- Simulated disaster scenarios
- Performance optimization
- Documentation
- County EM exercise deployment
- Real-world stress testing
- Case study documentation
- Replicable deployment playbook
We need $250K for 6-month MVP + first deployment.
Revenue model ensures sustainability: 5% of disaster savings (typical County response costs $5-20M, meaning first deployment generates $25-100K in ongoing revenue).

Interested in being a deployment partner? We're looking for:
- Emergency management agencies
- Mutual aid networks
- Indigenous nations
- Agricultural communities
- Climate-vulnerable regions
Protocol challenges existing assumptions about:
- Coordination without central authority
- Privacy-preserving matching
- Emergent ontologies
- Biomimetic network topologies
- White Paper - Complete vision and architecture (50 pages)
- Technical Stack - Implementation components
- BIAS Protocol - Analytical framework for institutional bias detection
- Discussions - Join the conversation
Has-Needs is built on principles of:
✅ Enforced Sovereignty - Permanent agency for individuals and communities over their logic, data, and knowledge
✅ Designed Emergence - Systems that adapt and self-organize based on real-world signals
✅ Comprehensive Validation - Categories arise from validated action, not imposed authority
✅ Living Ontology - System concepts emerge organically and adapt as networks evolve
✅ Mutually Assured Truth - Truth is what all parties hold identical copies of
✅ Community Balance - Individual sovereignty + voluntary affiliation = collective health
