Why this format? Rootz builds infrastructure for how AI interacts with the world. This business plan is that infrastructure applied to investor relations. You're experiencing the product. ELEVATOR PITCH (30 seconds) Rootz builds trust infrastructure for AI. The $12 trillion AI market has no identity for agents, no provenance for data, and no proof that anything happened the way anyone said it did. We built four interlocking products — Data Wallets, an AI Discovery standard, policy-wrapped stablecoins, and a composition engine — all on the same six cryptographic primitives. All four are at MVP. All four have customers. We hold six patent submissions, two NIST submissions, and an IANA standard filing. The team deployed TPM security to hundreds of millions of devices over 25 years. We didn't pivot to AI — the AI market arrived at the problem we've been solving all along. 10-MINUTE PITCH 1. The Problem (1 min) The AI market is $12 trillion. Neither centralized AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) nor decentralized AI (Bittensor, Akash) has a trust layer. No agent identity. No data provenance. No verifiable audit trails. No proof of what happened. The entire ecosystem runs on API keys and brand reputation — the equivalent of running the internet without SSL. 2. The Market (1 min) Three forces converging: AI has broken authenticity (any content can be synthetic). Regulation is demanding provenance (EU AI Act, GENIUS Act, NIS2, CRA). Hardware security is finally mature (billions of TPM chips deployed, waiting for the software layer). The companies building trust infrastructure now will define how it works for the next decade. 3. The Solution (2 min) Four products, one platform: Data Wallets — a blockchain address where signed evidence about any data accumulates. Origin, modifications, ownership — all permanent, all verifiable. .well-known/ai — an open standard that lets any website describe itself to AI agents. Identity, content, policies, tools — machine-readable. The "robots.txt for AI." Policy-wrapped stablecoins — USDC deposited into smart contract vaults that mint policy-wrapped tokens. Spending rules enforced in Solidity, not application code. The contract IS the compliance officer. Epistery — the composition engine connecting the other three. Browser crypto identity, AI proxy, encrypted archives, 32-tool MCP server. All four are built on the same six primitives (Wallet, Secret, Note, Signing, Identity Contract, Credits). This is one operating system exposed four ways — not four separate products. 4. Traction (1 min) We are early and honest about it. Two signed customers (USDW, Studio 2) and four additional partners traveling the road with us (One Nation, Core Semi, NetCapital, Precog) — not yet locked to contracts as we discover the road ahead together. Hundreds of on-chain transactions. Eleven smart contracts on Polygon Mainnet. WordPress plugin v2.3.1, Shopify app live, 32-tool MCP server in production. Pre-revenue. The stro
