✴️ Interstellar Manifesto

A Guardian Layer for Human-Machine Interaction in the Age of Adversarial AI​

I. The Problem: The Human is the New Attack Surface​

In an era where malware learns your behavior, AI mimics your voice, and deepfakes replicate your face and gestures in real time, attackers no longer need to break into systems — they break into you.

The boundary between what is real and what is synthetic is vanishing. And the interface between human and machine is now the primary attack surface.

Passwords, OTPs, and seed phrases are no match for real-time manipulation, spoofed screens, or dynamic AI-based impersonation. The last line of defense is no longer the system. It’s you — and today, that line is under attack.

II. The Shift: From System-Centric Security to Human-Centric Trust​

Our digital infrastructure has evolved — but our security models haven’t. They remain reliant on static credentials, centralized trust anchors, and easily bypassed UI elements.

Interstellar represents a shift from protecting systems to protecting human intent — from authenticating keys or devices to validating cognition, presence, and behavioral integrity.

III. The Vision: A Guardian Layer Around Human Perception​

We are building the first decentralized cryptographic protection layer around the human interface — a Guardian Layer that shields how you see, decide, and act in digital space.

  • A visual cryptographic filter readable only by your perception
  • A behavioral interface that responds to cognitive intent
  • A sensory firewall that invalidates adversarial stimuli
  • A zero-trust validation system that proves you are acting freely

This Guardian Layer is not theoretical — it is already partially implemented in our decentralized architecture. While the vision includes future multimodal protections (visual, audio, cognitive) possibly supported by intelligent co-agents, Interstellar’s foundation is already in place:

  • Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) for secure processing (MPC planned for the mainnet)
  • Garbled circuits for cryptographic rendering of information (only visual for now)
  • Stateless, privacy-preserving behavioral filters (work in progress)

These layers form the foundational components of the Guardian Layer.

IV. The Foundation: TAVP — Trusted Action Validation Protocol​

At the heart of Interstellar lies TAVP — Trusted Action Validation Protocol. TAVP is a new decentralized security primitive designed to replace fragile forms of authentication with cryptographic proofs of user intent.

Rather than rely on passwords, centralized biometric databases, or OTPs, TAVP validates that an action — a transaction, an identity claim, a sensitive approval — was truly initiated by the real user.

TAVP combines:

  • One-time-use garbled circuits executed on-device
  • Dynamic behavioral biometrics encoded in cryptographic form
  • Secure Element signatures as hardware-backed entropy sources
  • Privacy-preserving cryptographic flows that prevent learning or imitation

The result is a zero-trust protocol that validates actions — not identities — using proofs that are resilient to manipulation, replay, or AI-based forgery.

V. The Mission: Democratizing Human-First Security​

Security should not be a luxury for enterprises. It should be available to everyone who interacts online.

We believe in:

  • Effortless onboarding without passwords, codes, or PINs
  • User-controlled security anchored in hardware and cryptography
  • Decentralized trust attested on-chain
  • Resilience against adversarial AI and malware that targets the human layer

Interstellar makes humans the root of trust — not the weak link.

VI. The Call: Build with Us​

This manifesto is a living document — a snapshot of a vision that’s evolving as we build.

We invite:

  • Strategic partners in finance, identity, and mobile
  • Deeptech funders and institutional supporters
  • Researchers and developers working on secure human-AI interaction

This vision builds on the foundation laid by our current testnet milestones, which establishes the core decentralized infrastructure — including decentralized secure execution, authentication and validation flows — that leverage the unique properties of human cognition and will support the evolution toward this broader Guardian Layer architecture.

Let’s build a trust layer that stands not just against hackers — but against cognitive manipulation.

Let’s make security human-first, cryptographic by design, and resilient by necessity.

Let’s build Interstellar.
