Introducing UniKey™

We’re a technology development company solving challenging problems in payments and identity.

After 15 years of tenacious R&D and global patent filings, we’ve delivered a cryptographic trust layer built on SMTP and DNS. In late 2024, we announced this innovation, resulting in two breakthrough global networks:

1. UniKey Payments Network

2. UniKey Identity Network

Each offers substantial ARR potential, but above all, this is a strategic corporate asset—a universal trust network enabling secure two-tap transactions without apps or device modifications.

This technology, along with its comprehensive IP portfolio, is now available for acquisition. It’s a critical asset for any payments or identity player seeking an immediate and lasting competitive advantage.

Explore this website for full details on the networks, technology, and intellectual property.

Strategic Acquisition Opportunity

UniKey represents ownership of critical internet infrastructure—the SMTP protocol—now uniquely fortified for identity and payments. The internet primarily runs on two fundamental protocols, HTTP and SMTP, and we have secured one of them.

Think of this as prime digital real estate: available today, potentially invaluable tomorrow—and there’s only one property like this in the entire digital world.

Owning UniKey provides exclusive rights to SMTP-based cryptographic identity and payments technology—a foundational layer competitors cannot replicate. If a competitor secures it first, your strategic position could fundamentally shift. Acquiring this essential protocol now protects your existing market position while dramatically expanding your future strategic opportunities.

Whether or not immediate integration aligns with your roadmap, securing ownership today means proactively protecting your business and positioning for substantial competitive upside.
