About Alien

Alien.org is building a decentralized network to establish trust in the digital age of artificial intelligence. The company aims to provide a fair and neutral identity infrastructure that allows users to verify their unique humanity without compromising privacy. The core of the offering is the Alien Network, a scalable L1 blockchain designed to be entirely owned by its users. This network addresses the "Proof of Personhood" problem, which is crucial for preventing Sybil attacks where one user creates multiple fake accounts to gain disproportionate influence.

The ecosystem consists of several key components. The Alien ID provides users with an anonymous proof of their unique human identity. This is achieved through the Continuous Human Verification Protocol (CHVP), which combines biometrics, social graphs, and notarized credentials. The Alien App serves as the user interface for the network, allowing individuals to verify their ID, manage credentials, and conduct private transactions. The platform also features Aliencoin (ALIEN), the network's native currency, which is exclusively issued to verified Alien ID holders. Additionally, Alien provides an Agent ID, enabling users to link an AI agent to their verified human identity for trustworthy automated actions.

The company behind the initial development of the Alien App is Extraterrestrial Intelligence Co., a for-profit entity that operates independently from the non-profit foundation that will govern the Alien Network. Blog posts by Kirill Avery in late 2025 and early 2026 detail the concepts behind the platform, including the CHVP and the fair launch of Aliencoin. Alien has hubs in San Francisco, Dubai, and Poland and has raised $7.1 million in funding from investors including Initialized and Finality.
