SOV Network (Self-Owned Value) is an open-source network where each real person holds exactly one account. You hold your own money, send end-to-end encrypted messages without a phone number, and get one vote on the network's rules. Enrolment is a palm scan and a live face check on your own phone. No photo is ever stored or sent. It is not a blockchain and there is nothing to buy. You join on an Android phone; Windows, macOS and Linux apps restore your wallet and run a node.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm one of the developers of SOV Network (Self-Owned Value).
Every "one person, one account" system we looked at wanted something people shouldn't have to give: a phone number, a government ID upload, or a company's database of faces. SOV does it differently. You prove you are a unique human with a palm scan and a live face check on your own phone. No picture ever leaves it. The network keeps only a protected template and refuses a second account for the same person.
It is live and proven on the real network: palm enrolment, signed payments, a double-spend attempt refused by the nodes, end-to-end encrypted messages with no phone number, a person-to-person exchange, the Vault and citizen votes. No mining and no energy-hungry hardware: a fixed 50,000,000 SOV that every node checks, and every node publishes the fingerprint of the exact open-source code it runs.
Try it, free with nothing to buy: join on an Android phone (https://sov-network.github.io/ge...) and run a node on Windows, macOS or Linux. The whitepaper (https://sov-network.github.io/wh...) covers everything. Bring your hardest questions, here or in our public Q&A: https://github.com/sov-network-d...
