SOV NETWORK

A sovereign network you actually own

One human, one wallet. Own your identity, your money, your messages, and your voice in how the rules are written — on a network no company controls and no government depends on.

SOV isn't a blockchain — it's a sovereign, proof-of-personhood mesh: self-contained nodes, one human one wallet, no central operator, no app store.

What SOV is

Not a blockchain — a Sovereign Mesh. Self-contained nodes gossip peer-to-peer with no centre, and its one new idea is proof of personhood: one human, one wallet, proven by your own biometrics on your device. Identity, messaging, justice, and governance on one protocol.

One human, one wallet

Your palm is your key — processed on your device, never sent to a server. No bots, no fake accounts, no whales who joined a hundred times. Everyone counts equally.

Your money, your rules

Send SOV in seconds for a tiny, capped, citizen-voted fee that flows to the people running the network — not a bank. Fixed 50,000,000 supply.

Messaging & justice built in

Messages route through standard ports and work behind firewalls; no content ever touches a relay. Disputes are settled by randomly-selected citizen juries, not courts.

Owned by the people who run it

Self-contained nodes, no central operator list, no single switch to flip. Anyone can run one, and earn for keeping the network alive.

A visual tour of the app

Real screens from the SOV app. The phone app and the desktop app look the same — only the desktop can also run a Full Node.

Your palm is your key — no password, no username. One human, one wallet.

Lost your phone? Take your wallet back

Nothing from the old device is needed. Your wallet is rebuilt from something only you hold — your words, your backup file, or your guardians.

Recover My Wallet on a fresh install 1

Start on a new device

Phone (APK)
  1. On a fresh install tap Recover My Wallet — not "Join the Network". Joining again would try to create a second account, which one human = one wallet refuses
Choose how to prove you own the wallet 1 2

Prove the wallet is yours

Phone (APK)
  1. Seed phrase — your 12 words, or the .sov backup file you saved when you enrolled
  2. Guardians — last resort, for when the words and the file are both gone
Type your words or open a backup file 1 2

Words, or the file

Phone (APK)
  1. Type the 12 words yourself
  2. Or open the backup file. On some phones the file picker briefly closes the app — that is the system, not a crash. Reopen SOV and it carries on
Enter your 12 recovery words 1 2

Your 12 words

Phone (APK)
  1. Paste all words fills every box at once if you copied them together
  2. Tap Restore Wallet. The words never leave the device — they rebuild the key here
Enter the backup file password 1 2

If you used the backup file

Phone (APK)
  1. Enter the password you set when you saved the file. The file alone is not enough — it is encrypted, so a stolen copy is useless without this
  2. Tap Restore Wallet
Verifying identity on the SOV Network 1

Back in

Phone (APK)
  1. The app checks your restored key against the network and your balance, messages and history come back. Nothing was ever held for you by a company — it was always derived from what you kept
Guardian recovery, code blurred 1 2

Last resort: your guardians

Phone (APK)
  1. A recovery code appears (blurred here). Send it to your guardians — it is useless to anyone who is not one
  2. Two of your three must approve from their own wallets before the recovery completes. No single person, including us, can do it for you

Phone vs desktop: the two apps are the same, with one addition on the desktop (Windows / Mac): a Full Node switch on this screen. Turn it on and your computer helps carry the network and earns the operator payout. The phone app connects to nodes but does not run one.
📡 Full Node

This computer is serving the SOV network. Keep it on continuously (≥21 days) to earn the monthly operator payout — credited to your wallet.

⚡ Serving • uptime 6d 4h

WSS :443 mesh :7771 dashboard :8080

Operator dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:8080/dashboard

One switch. Turn it on and your PC carries the network and earns — the phone app connects to nodes but never runs one.

How citizens reach your home node 1 2 3

How citizens reach your home node

Full node

Behind home internet? Pick how people reach you — the node handles the rest.

  1. Automatic — router or circuit-relay through a public node (zero setup)
  2. Tailscale Funnel — a free public address, no port-forwarding
  3. Static IP / port-forward — if you run your own server

🛡️ When you turn the node ON, Windows will ask this

Windows Security

Do you want to allow public and private networks to access this app?

⬡ Node.js JavaScript Runtime

Allow Cancel ← click this

This is normal and safe. Node.js is the SOV node software running on your PC — clicking "Allow" lets other citizens reach your node so it can serve the network and earn your operator payout. It appears once per version. If you click Cancel, your node runs but stays invisible to other citizens.
