You're In Business

The project targets a highly relevant and timely problem (AI agent memory and context window limitations) with an innovative technical approach leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and COTI V2 privacy features. However, as a new protocol with no verifiable active users, revenue, or established traction beyond draft standards, it currently scores very low in audience reach and traction. The market timing is exceptional, but execution and real-world adoption remain to be proven.

Project Details

Description
A sovereign, encrypted, sharable, persistent memory protocol for AI agents.
Audience Reach
New project. Potentially billions of AI Agents.
Target Users
“Sovereign AI Horizontal Memory,” a protocol that provides an encrypted, user‑owned, portable memory layer for AI agents. Audience pages target four groups: Individuals: everyday users who want an agent memory they control. Developers: builders integrating memory into agents or apps (open‑source, APIs, protocol docs). Enterprise: compliance‑sensitive organisations (portable, auditable, right‑to‑erasure features). Government: public‑sector deployments (sovereign auditability, no vendor lock‑in). Although consumer and enterprise subscriptions are shipping now, ultimately it is built for AI Agent and other AI memory providers to integrate into their products to solve the context window problem. They can vastly improve context window memory management using the remember, recall, forget, share, and other tools shipped with the MCP server to reduce or eliminate hallucinations and excessive token usage. In-house, our token usage has been reduced by up to 80% using SAIHM and the following prompt: "Maximize SAIHM use to maximize token economy." Globally dispersed swarms of up to 1,000 disparate or homogenous AI Agents can simultaneously share encrypted memories, which has enormous efficiencies and savings potential for many use cases, among many use cases.
Technologies
Other, SAIHM uses the following technologies and frameworks: Architecture & Protocol - MCP-first design; all tools route through SaihmProtocolRuntime - Sealed-core architecture using COTI V2 Helium garbled circuits Identity - HKDF chain with MPS-PQC-KEY-GEN-v1 → MPS-AGENT-IDENTITY-v1 Data Persistence - GC-5 ShardReadWriteOrchestrator with tiered persistence selected at write time Tools - Eight MCP tools deployed (four memory, two sharing, two governance) - All tools emit GC-14 audit receipts Integration - Supports agents that speak the Model Context Protocol (MCP) SAIHM operates on the public COTI V2 mainnet and is licensed under Apache-2.0.
Traction Evidence
Whilst SAIHM also pursues adoption by making its product available via its website, the long-term strategy of universal adoption is to gain traction via white-label to AI Agent and other AI memory providers via standards.
