Universal Manifest

Watch and learn

Universal Manifest, explained.

Short videos that build on each other. Start with the overview, then follow the branch that fits you. Each one carries the same idea one step further: a portable, signed envelope that holds your identity, your assets, how you present yourself, and the permissions you set, and presents the right version of you whenever two parties meet.
