End Poverty by Design

Instrument 3 of 3 · LifeLink

One link to every public service.

LifeLink gives every citizen a secure digital identity and wallet, free, on a phone they already own, a LifeLink tablet or a wearable. Through it people receive their Civic Credits, learn, see a doctor, call for help, and take part in government. No more paperwork, and no more getting lost between agencies.

What it does

Six services, one secure identity.

IdentityA secure digital ID, verified by fingerprint, face or iris, that works offline and can't be lost like paper documents.
WalletEarn, hold and spend Civic Credits; pay bills automatically; see exactly where public money goes.
LearningAn AI teacher from basic literacy to career training, with automatic certification and job matching.
HealthTelemedicine, mental-health support, preventive guidance and an emergency button that calls for help.
VoiceVote, petition and follow legislation; join town halls; speak directly to the people who represent you.
CreativityThe Social, Arts and Creative hub, where artists, musicians and writers earn credits for their work.

Safeguards first

A system this close to people's lives has to earn their trust. These rules are written into the design.

  • You own your dataOpt out, delete or move your records at any time; personal and health data kept out of public ledgers.
  • AI that assists, never rulesEvery AI decision must be explainable, publicly auditable, reversible and under human oversight.
  • Three bodies of oversightAn Ethical and Security Council for privacy and AI, a Public Assembly for citizens' say, and an Economic and Development Board for finances.
  • Works when systems failOffline ID, peer-to-peer mesh networking, solar-powered devices and satellite access in emergencies.
  • Built to privacy lawDesigned to meet GDPR, CCPA and ISO security standards, with encryption designed to resist future quantum attacks.
  • For people without papersDigital identity for refugees and displaced people, so no one is shut out of help.

The working papers

Read every document

32 papers, about 26k words, free to read in full, including 23 strategies covering everything from funding and hardware to health, education, governance and crisis response. The complete LifeLink Master Plan (PDF) gathers them in one volume. Each one has a plain-text copy, and most have the original PDF.

These papers were written in 2024 and 2025 as the plan developed. Where one differs from the 2025 edition of the Plan, the 2025 edition is the current statement.
