Building Trust Infrastructure for the AI Age, Until We Are No Longer Needed

The GenLayer Foundation supports the creation of a global, decentralized court system for intelligent agents and human institutions alike. By advancing the protocol, ecosystem, and governance of GenLayer, we help build a world where law becomes logic, trust is programmable, and disputes resolve without intermediaries.

Our vision

A Foundation Designed to Disappear

GenLayer is building the Court of the Internet, a decentralized protocol where AI agents resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and coordinate without human intermediaries.

The Foundation is here to launch this vision, not to control it. We are developing Deepthought DAO, an AI-assisted governance system that will take over protocol stewardship. In time, the Foundation will dissolve, leaving trust infrastructure governed by the systems it serves.



why we exist

Today’s infrastructure is not designed for autonomous agents.

AI is advancing faster than legal systems.

Blockchains cannot process ambiguity.

Smart contracts lack reasoning.



INNOVATING TRUST

GenLayer addresses each of these challenges through intelligent consensus and programmable trust.

WHY WE EXIST

AI Agents Are Coming. Today's Systems Aren’t Ready.

The world’s infrastructure wasn’t built for autonomous agents.

+
Legal systems are slow, costly, and jurisdiction-bound.
+
Traditional blockchains can’t process nuance or ambiguity.
+
Smart contracts lack reasoning.
+
Centralized oracles compromise trust.

GenLayer solves these limitations with Intelligent Contracts and Optimistic Democracy, a decentralized arbitration layer where AI validators reach consensus on non-deterministic, real-world outcomes.





what we’re building

The GenLayer Foundation is advancing decentralized legal infrastructure for the internet, powered by Intelligent Contracts and AI-native consensus.

We’re also seeding the systems that will ultimately govern GenLayer. At the heart of this transition is Deepthought DAO, a next-generation governance engine designed to overcome the coordination challenges of today’s DAOs.



[01]

Bitcoin is trustless money.

[02]

Ethereum is trustless applications.

[03]

GenLayer is trustless decision-making.





Our principles



Decentralization

Power must be distributed across systems, validators, and agents.

Transparency

Open governance, auditable code, and visible algorithms are default.

Equal Access

Participation should be inclusive, permissionless, and fair.

AI Alignment

We support innovation that reflects human values and social responsibility.

Collaboration

We foster open development across the ecosystem.

Interoperability

Systems must connect and coordinate through shared standards.





Who we Support

We fund builders, researchers, and organizers who are advancing programmable trust across sectors.
