Deep Technology Research & Development · 2018–2025
LinksUU Technology Solutions was a long-term, independent deep technology R&D initiative established in 2018 and operated through 2025. Its work laid the research foundation for what is now continuing under UU.
The core question explored during these years was:
How can digital environments verify real human presence without storing identity, collecting personal data, or introducing long-term privacy risk?
Over seven years, LinksUU examined the structural collapse of digital trust across social platforms, identity systems, and emerging AI-driven environments. The research addressed impersonation, synthetic identity creation, bot-driven interaction, and the increasing inability to distinguish real humans from non-human entities online.
The work evolved through multiple architectural explorations and pivots, including early platform concepts, trust-mediated interaction models, and experimental verification frameworks. Several prototypes and MVP-level systems were designed and internally tested, but deliberately not launched publicly to protect proprietary research and avoid premature disclosure.
LinksUU was developed primarily through micro-funding and bootstrapping. These constraints shaped a disciplined, research-first approach prioritizing architectural correctness, long-term relevance, and privacy guarantees over speed or market visibility.
Multiple potential investment paths were evaluated and declined when they required early compromise on trust assumptions, disclosure of incomplete systems, or dilution of privacy principles.
By 2024–2025, the accumulated research converged into a fundamentally new insight: that trust verification does not require identity storage at all.
This insight became the basis for a new trust framework built on self-certifying cryptographic events rather than persistent records — enabling Proof-of-Humanity and Proof-of-Identity without biometrics, databases, centralized authorities, or surveillance.
The final architecture developed through LinksUU now continues under UU, a dedicated initiative focused on building a privacy-preserving, cryptographic trust layer designed for a post-AI digital world.
LinksUU Technology Solutions has concluded operations, having fulfilled its role as the research and discovery phase for this next-generation trust architecture.
