i built Glogos to create cryptographically permanent records without needing a global network to vote on them.
so i designed a "consensus-free" attestation.
the core concept: instead of one global ledger, Glogos uses sovereign "Zones".
- you create a Zone (Ed25519 keypair). - you sign attestations. - you build a merkle tree. - you anchor the root (to Bitcoin, IPFS, or just a tweet).
technical specifics (no fluff):
- format: JSON-based attestations, RFC 6962 merkle trees. - performance: ~290k attestations/sec (benchmarked on consumer hardware). - code: python reference implementation (no heavy dependencies). - status: v1.0.0-rc.0 draft.
use cases:
- academic citations (journals sign their own metrics). - supply chain (factories sign their own output). - personal witnessing ("i was here" timestamps).
disclaimer:
- no token. no ico. no dao. no internet. - this is a proposal/experiment, not a startup.
i'm a self-taught dev. on dec 21 (winter solstice), i'll run the genesis ceremony to witness the moment using this code.

feedback on the "consensus-free" model is very welcome. is it too simple? or is simple what we need?
