Path to Launch
The path to democratic AI governance
We are launching democratically-governed AI infrastructure from Switzerland. This dashboard tracks real-time progress across regulatory milestones, technical development, and funding goals - updated monthly with transparent reporting on what we're building, what gates we must clear, and when launch becomes possible.
One pending gate still blocks launch.
Launch Conditions
All four conditions must be met. One pending gate blocks launch. STORE Association (the Swiss Verein now forming) takes over ratifying authority once four conditions clear. STORE Research Inc. continues as the R&D arm - deposit terms don't change, only who holds authority
- Funding completeReach the $4 Million launch goal across the three governed funding milestones.
- Swiss legal sign-offMME sign-off on payment flows and STORE Association formation in Switzerland.
- Favorable tax rulingA favorable ruling for asset transfer to the Swiss Association.
- Technical execution completeSTORE VERIFY Protocol, autonomous payments, First Governance voting, and AI Registry shipped.
The Foundation
Layer 0 infrastructure, STORE Cloud, has been live since 2022, governed democratically the entire time. This is not a roadmap - it's a track record
Progress Breakdown
Three parallel tracks must converge for launch - regulatory clearance, technical execution, and funding
- Swiss Association founding underway
- Legal counsel engaged (MME)
- Favorable tax ruling pending
- FINMA compliance review
- STORE VERIFY Protocol
- First Governance voting live
- Autonomous payment systems
- AI Registry
- Marcus Aurelius (1/3) - in progress
- Thomas Paine (1/2) - pending
- Neil Armstrong (2/3) - pending
- $3.06M remaining to goal
How Funding Maps to Milestones
Each governed milestone is named for a governor and unlocks the next stage of the constitutional rollout
Regulatory & Operations Path
The Path to Switzerland, gate by gate. Two critical gates remain before ratifying authority transfers to the STORE Association
STORE Cloud operational across five data centers, governed democratically since day one.
126 governors across 30+ countries, 5 ballots passed at 77.43% average approval, 0constitutional violations.
MME and institutional partners retained for the STORE Association formation.
Critical gate - Swiss legal sign-off on the autonomous payment architecture.
Critical gate - a favorable ruling for asset transfer to the Swiss Association.
Once all four conditions clear, ratifying authority transfers to the Swiss Verein. Launch becomes possible.
This dashboard updates monthly. Foundation figures (governor and country counts, capacity) are ratified values and are not wired to a live oracle. See State of STORE - Summer '25 and the About page for context.
Help launch the Democratic Cloud Computing protocol
The foundation is live and proven. What remains is funding, Swiss clearance, and technical execution - and then launch.
