STORE is user-owned cloud infrastructure where you earn revenue and vote on decisions, powered by 498 AI endpoints under democratic control. 8 years operational (2017-2025) with $28.03M governed democratically, launching Switzerland Q1-Q2 2026 to prove humanity can govern AI infrastructure before Big Tech locks it down permanently.
Secure utility token classification under Swiss law, enabling Q1-Q2 2026 Switzerland launch with constitutional protection for democratic governance.
The world's first user-owned cloud. Own infrastructure. Earn revenue. Govern AI democratically.
70% of cloud computing is controlled by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. You pay bills forever. They keep profits. They make all decisions.
STORE flips this: Buy STORE tokens to use infrastructure, vote on decisions, and earn when others use the network.
USE
Pay for storage, compute, bandwidth
EARN
Up to 4.44% APY + 5% of network usage revenue
GOVERN
Vote on pricing, policies, and AI behavior
Hamilton's Economic Insight:
Organizations get stronger when democracy and capitalism mix through mathematical frameworks. America grew from 13 colonies to 50 states—each addition strengthening the whole through constitutional coordination.
STORE applies the same principle: Communities that own infrastructure and share revenue become more valuable as the network grows. This isn't zero-sum extraction (Big Tech shareholders vs. users). This is positive-sum coordination (infrastructure owners benefit as network succeeds).
We took a conservative, long-term approach. Instead of writing a whitepaper and raising millions, we funded deep research—validating each milestone before moving forward. Only when key breakthroughs were proven did we invite small groups of believers to join us.
This research-driven approach delivered operational proof:
The foundation is validated. This final phase: push into Switzerland with an autonomous protocol that achieves credible decentralization—regulated the right way, not falling into poor classifications that would compromise democratic governance.
When 498 AI endpoints operate under constitutional constraints, with humans governing via democratic ballots, that's operational AI governance under human control.
The question isn't: "Can we launch a token in Switzerland?"
The question is: "Can humanity govern AI infrastructure democratically before centralized corporations control it permanently?"
Eight years of operational proof:
Human democratic governance over $28M works.
Now:
Extending that proven framework to AI—using the same constitutional mathematics that prevented tyranny in 1787 to prevent AI capture in 2025.
Before:
Regulatory frameworks restrict or prohibit democratic AI governance entirely.
This isn't complexity for complexity's sake. This is the last chance to establish democratic precedent before AI infrastructure becomes too powerful to govern.
Switzerland launch isn't the goal—it's the beachhead.
Switzerland's constitutional framework enables what no other jurisdiction can: nation-state enforcement of mathematical democracy. If we prove it works here, it can scale everywhere.
Constitutional AI governance is the mission.
For developers, researchers, governments, and citizens:
Democratic AI governance means you control infrastructure and govern decisions, not just consume AI products from corporations optimizing for quarterly shareholder returns.
The Competitive Reality:
Other AI platforms operate under centralized governance—single companies controlling ALL decision points about pricing, resources, and policies. STORE inverts this: 498 AI endpoints democratically governed, mathematical constraints preventing capture, 5 years operational proof.
Our philosophy, now enshrined in constitutional mathematics: Win through ecosystem size and innovation velocity. Many developers building, competing, innovating on transparent, accountable infrastructure they can trust.
This philosophy aligns with where the United States is going. David Sacks (White House AI & Crypto Czar): "You want everybody building on top of your technology stack." Democratic governance isn't a constraint—it's the competitive advantage.
Choose Your Reading Path:
STORE decentralizes AI intelligence through trust-minimized AI—498 endpoints providing dynamic protocol intelligence to every system. While competitors run on static consensus rules requiring hard forks, STORE adapts continuously through democratically governed AI. Pricing adapts to supply and demand, economics adapt to market conditions, governance adapts to community needs. 8 years operational, 100% trusted, 0 failures.
Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT): Mathematical guarantee that protocol functions correctly even if up to 33% of participants are malicious or faulty.
Combined Evidence: Infrastructure operates at scale, payment systems process real transactions, AI endpoints function under constitutional control. This isn't a roadmap to build something—this is proof something works.
Platform Architecture: Infrastructure designed to support future Autonomous Computing (Phase 3+)—where developers build applications with their own tokens operating on STORE infrastructure. Not operational yet, but foundation in place.

STORE's 8-year operational advantage creates competitive moats that static consensus blockchains cannot replicate. While AWS, Azure, and GCP offer centralized infrastructure optimized for corporate goals, and Ethereum, Solana, and other blockchains offer decentralized consensus with static rules, STORE uniquely bridges both through cloudspace—approximately 95% off-chain performance with 5% on-chain verification, all governed by 498 AI endpoints under democratic control.
The 8-Year Head Start Nobody Can Close:
STORE's competitive moat isn't just technology—it's operational proof under real economic pressure. 8 years building (2017-2025). 5 years democratic governance (2020-2025). Two major crisis stress tests survived (COVID 2020, FTX 2022). $28.03M governed with 100% trusted rating. 498 AI endpoints operational with 0 faulty nodes detected.
A competitor starting today would need: 2-3 years to build AI governance infrastructure, 2-3 years to prove constitutional mathematics work, 3-5 years to establish operational credibility, and survive at least one major crisis to validate resilience. That's 7-11 years minimum—and assumes perfect execution without STORE's 8 years of learned lessons.
No competitor offers AI-governed infrastructure with democratic oversight under Byzantine Fault Tolerant mathematics, operational for 8 years with documented stress-test survival. This is STORE's unreplicable competitive advantage—not what we promise to build, but what we've proven works.

Swiss Association provides constitutional protection for democratic governance. We researched the UK, Ireland, Singapore—none offered the same legal protections.
STORE launches in Switzerland under existing governance (94-person voting system, 8 years operational). Swiss Association provides legal structure and nation-state constitutional enforcement.
But launching in Switzerland requires proving STORE qualifies as a utility token, not falling into classifications that would compromise democratic governance. Here's the challenge we're navigating...
To launch in Switzerland, we must demonstrate STORE qualifies as a utility token under Swiss law. In Spring 2025, regulators challenged us to prove STORE functions as the protocol's unit of account—the fundamental unit all economic activity is measured in—not just a tradeable asset.
Two paths forward:
Path A (Backup): Utility Token under MiCA
File whitepaper with EU National Competent Authority, ongoing compliance obligations. Proven regulatory pathway but constrains governance flexibility.
Path B (Primary): Sufficiently Decentralized
MiCA regulations don't apply per Article 2(3). Protects democratic governance and enables Phase 2 constitutional evolution.
Our evidence for Path B:
Current status:
70% complete, racing for Q1 2026 determination.
Path B consequences: Protects democratic governance, enables Phase 2 constitutional evolution, avoids ongoing EU compliance obligations. Path A provides proven regulatory pathway but constrains flexibility. We're building operational proof for Path B while maintaining Path A as backup.
Phase 1 operational proof timeline targets Q1-Q2 2026. Success depends on three critical factors:
Funding Dependency:
Next milestone: Marcus Aurelius at ⅓ ($1.33M total). Currently $860K raised, leaving $473K to reach first funding milestone and unlock long-term bonus incentive vote.
Technical Execution Dependency:
Regulatory Dependency:
Q1 2026 is achievable if funding continues, technical execution proceeds as projected, and MME collaboration moves smoothly. If challenges emerge, timeline shifts to Q1-Q2 2026.
Switzerland Q1-Q2 2026 isn't just a token launch—it's humanity's first chance to prove democratic AI governance works at scale.
8 years of operational proof. 498 AI endpoints under constitutional control. $28.03M governed democratically across two major crisis stress tests. Mathematical constraints preventing capture. The foundation is built.
Now comes the test: Can user-owned infrastructure compete with Big Tech's centralized control? Can constitutional mathematics protect democratic governance at global scale? The next 12 months will tell.
This isn't about building another cloud provider. This is about proving a different model is possible—where communities own infrastructure, govern AI democratically, and share revenue fairly. Where constitutional constraints prevent the concentration of power that plagues every centralized platform.
Switzerland launch: Q1-Q2 2026. The beachhead. The proof. The beginning.
