People own their identity
Reputation follows a cryptographic identity, not one device or platform account.
Transform. Connect. Liberate.
ALKAESTOPEN COORDINATION PROTOCOL
Work should not belong to the platform that records it. Alkaest is an open protocol for coordinating work through local nodes, self-controlled identities, and evidence people can verify.

The protocol · One core, many kinds of work
Coordination, with its parts in the open.
Alkaest gives independent participants a shared way to describe work, record what happened, and carry verifiable history between contexts.
Evidence before scorePortable · Domain-aware · Verifiable
Nodes keep the network plural
Participants can run software and retain control over their own place in the network.
Modules describe the domain
Open-source work is the first workflow. The core stays useful beyond one market.
Evidence gives history context
Outcomes can be checked and interpreted over time, instead of reduced to a context-free rating.
Alkaest Chat · The agent
Alkaest at work, one conversation at a time.
Alkaest Chatbot helps local service businesses handle appointments through natural WhatsApp conversations. It is a practical product path alongside the protocol research.
Choose the way that fits: we can discuss operating a managed pilot with you, or you can explore running an instance yourself.
Early implementation · Ask about current fit and setup
Managed · We operate it with you
Focus on your customers. We handle the system.
Talk with us about setup and day-to-day operation for your business. Availability and terms depend on the pilot.

Deploy Alkaest Chat yourself.
Explore the code and deployment notes, then provide and operate the infrastructure and integrations yourself. The Chatbot repository is private; request access from a maintainer before opening it.

Bring your craft. Help shape what trust can mean.
Alkaest is still being designed and built. There is room to question the protocol, make the node useful, and help turn an ambitious idea into software people can inspect.
Protocol & research
Read RFCs, expose assumptions, clarify state rules, and challenge the trust model.
Node & application
Build Rust and Flutter foundations, developer workflows, and accessible experiences. These repositories are private; ask a maintainer for access first.
Documentation & review
Make the architecture legible. Report reproducible issues and offer focused reviews.
For substantial changes, start with an issue and agree on the shape of the work. Keep protocol decisions in RFCs and ADRs; follow component instructions for implementation.
