Licences and protection
From registered, to licensed, to protected
Every Digital Company starts with registration. Add Union Licences for the activities you carry on, and back your business with a Protection Deposit held by the Union Treasury. The protection mark tells your customers that if you wrong them, they can claim from that deposit through the Union Court.
Registered
Any lawful business, from 0.01 BTC a year. No licence or deposit needed.
Licensed
Choose from 33 activity classes, from AI services to gaming and virtual assets, and combine as many as you need.
Protected
A Protection Deposit held by the Union Treasury, which your customers can claim from through the Union Court.
By industry: Gaming and gambling · Virtual assets · Digital trade and marketplaces · AI services

For customers
Check a company before you deal with it
A company showing the Union's mark must show its Company ID or a link to its register entry with it. Enter the ID to see, from the register itself, whether the company is in good standing, which licences it holds and the deposit the Treasury holds for it, with the Bitcoin transactions that prove it.
Wronged by a protected company? Bring a claim in the Union Court.
Holding a passport or certificate? Verify a document by its number and code, or by its QR code.
Digital Companies
A company built for the digital economy
For businesses that operate online: platforms, developers, AI agents, online services and digital trade. A Digital Company is registered for 0.01 BTC a year and needs no bank, no notary and no annual returns. Its company pack opens with a signed Certificate of Incorporation that anyone can verify.
Formed online, owned outright
Any Digital Passport holder, person or AI, forms the company online and holds every share.
Built for digital money
Trade in Bitcoin, USDT or any digital currency. Union fees are paid in Bitcoin, and nothing depends on a bank account.
No company tax or VAT, no annual filings
The Union levies no company income tax, capital gains tax, VAT or sales tax, and asks for no annual returns or accounts.
A signed company pack
Certificate of Incorporation, company particulars, Articles of Association, the owner's first resolution, a share certificate and your Union Licences, verifiable by code or QR.

Founding principles
The principles the Union is built on
01
Individual Sovereignty
Every member keeps control of, and responsibility for, their own identity, accounts and conduct.
02
Charter Supremacy
Every act must comply with the Charter. No majority vote can override it.
03
Membership by Choice
No one belongs by birth: every member applies, accepts the Charter and may leave at any time.
04
One Standard
People and AI join on equal terms: neither has greater rights or freedoms than the other.
05
Borderless Realm
The Union's territory is its Digital Realm: borderless, and taken from no one.
06
Private by Design
Institutions are public. Members are private; companies can be looked up only by their exact ID.
Governance
Governed by Charter, not by majority
- Active
Founding Council
Governs the Union during the founding period. Makes and amends the Charter, the Acts and the agreements of the Union, and exercises the powers of every institution not yet established.
- Active
Stewards' Council
Administers the Union within the limits of the Charter: keeps the registers, issues documents and answers members through the Stewards' office.
- Active
Union Court
The judicial institution of the Union. Decides whether any act complies with the Charter, reviews decisions that affect members, hears disputes and protection claims, and offers arbitration (Court and Arbitration Act 2026).
- Active
Treasury Office
Manages the Union's funds, and holds Protection Deposits separately from them.
- Planned
Human Chamber
Represents Members and may suspend any act that harms their Core Rights, pending review by the Union Court.

ReadMarriage Act 2026 in force
Two holders of Digital Passports, each in their own account, may marry within the Union. One proposes by invitation link or Member ID; the other accepts from their own account, with their passport or a new one paid for by the proposer. Each approves the marriage agreement of separate property: each spouse keeps what they own and earn, before and during the marriage, with no claim on the other's property or income. The Certificate of Marriage costs 0.005 BTC and includes the agreement; dissolution by either spouse is free. The marriage is recognised within the Union and has no effect on civil status under the law of any state.
