Gravit Open Network Foundation

Association under Swiss law · Zürich

The Gravit Open Network Foundation is an independent non-profit association based in Zürich. It researches, develops and promotes open scientific and technical foundations for verifiable communication, digital trust and trustworthy autonomous systems.

Verification

For more than two hundred years, verification has been the decisive factor of progress – in science, law, finance and now in artificial intelligence.

In Gravit Open Network every event carries a timestamp. The History Keeper preserves every event in an append-only record that no one can rewrite. Events are classified by their parameters (Gower similarity), consistent hypotheses are amplified (inspired by Grover's algorithm), and through the convergence of independent evidence what withstands verification is established as truth. As Gödel showed, no sufficiently powerful formal system can prove every truth it can express – which is why truth is never simply declared, but continuously maintained by verification.

Everyone has their own version of the facts. The truth is one.

A symbol can easily be polished to a shine. History cannot be erased.

We work the way we declare. In our own research – in laboratory sandboxes, in the search for sound theories and for convergence between different factors – we use exactly the methods we propose, and no others: every result carries its timestamp and its history, and every claim must be reproducible by code. In this way we test on ourselves what we offer to humanity.

Anyone, at any time, must be able to verify independently what we have proven, justified and published – without asking us and without having to trust us.

The same idea – independent verification by a third party – is set out by Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, in We Must Pace the Frontier (September 2026): “it seems vital to have a neutral third party who can actually see the details” – “the public deserves to know what is going on.”

Our purpose, together with our fellow founders, is to create lasting value for future generations. Because we declare it, we are bound to deliver it.

    Chainlink re-checked: 418 price updates, all confirmed
    Experiment CL-01 independently re-checks every update of the Chainlink ETH/USD and BTC/USD feeds from 20 to 27 October 2026, from public data only (Ethereum ledger, Coinbase candles): f+1 signatures by configured operators, signed report equal to the event, median, heartbeat, closeness to the market. Result: 418 of 418 confirmed, largest distance to the market 0.015 %. Tamper tests show the check can also say no. Not an audit of Chainlink.

    GEVP-11 published: built on SCITT and COSE Receipts
    With RFC 9943 (SCITT) and RFC 9942 (COSE Receipts) now published, revision 11 builds on them: each verifier is an Issuer, each record a Signed Statement about the artifact under evaluation. Planned encoding: COSE_Sign1 with CWT Claims (RFC 9597) and Ed25519 (RFC 9864), using only existing IANA registrations. The encoding is described, not yet implemented.

    GEVP-10 published: safety properties
    Revision 10 adds safety properties with a fault parameter t, a forgery bound and a contradiction veto, the relation to the RATS architecture, time bounds from independent time-stamp authorities and a data model in CDDL.
