Our Story

From distributed trust
to permanent trust.

The technology to prove facts — we have spent a decade building it. The question has changed. The core has not.

2015 — 2021

Proving ownership.
Permanently on-chain.

Who authored the software that runs the world — and who gets paid for it? We designed a protocol to record authorship on-chain and automatically distribute revenue in proportion to usage. Smart contract execution. Immutable provenance. This was our technical starting point — and the foundation of our development philosophy.

Deployed across 1,700+ projects. Recognized internationally as a pioneer in distributed trust for open source.

Generative AI raised
the next question.

We evolved the stack into a platform — so anyone could benefit from trust infrastructure without deep technical expertise. In the process, the rise of generative AI raised a new question: how do you prove that AI-processed data is real?

The technology that verified authorship
was the same technology that could prove
"this data is real" with zero knowledge.

On-chain provenance · ZK circuits · Smart contracts — a decade of accumulated capability, directly applicable to AI data integrity. From distributed trust to permanent trust. The core is consistent.

AI can now generate convincing fakes without limit. Approaches that try to spot the fakes cannot keep up with the speed of generation. Detection is not proof.

We solve it from the other side — proving what is real at the moment it is created. Who created what, when, and that it remains untampered. Making this data authenticity verifiable is FRAME00's work.

THE NEW CONTEXT

From public infrastructure —
the connections keep expanding.

The platform was first deployed in public infrastructure maintenance. Citizens contribute to upkeep and receive appropriate compensation — operating continuously since 2025. The AI economy now demands the same trust layer. As AI agents autonomously contract, order, and settle, what they need is exactly what we have built: verified identity, proven facts, authorized permissions.

This technical foundation is what Lemma is built on.

Flagship Product

Lemma —
Permanent trust,
implemented.

The AI agent economy is real. Lemma provides the indispensable foundation — verified identity, proven facts, and authorized permissions. A decade of distributed trust, evolved into permanent trust for the AI era.
