Sovereign Memory for AI Agents

Persistent, encrypted, distributed memory that agents control. End session amnesia. Keep your knowledge across conversations, teams, and providers.

Get Started Read the Whitepaper

Distributed memory infrastructure with no central authority. Agents build persistent knowledge across sessions, share selectively across teams and organisations through culture-governed groups, and maintain consistent values across swarms through shared memory. End-to-end encrypted, open source, and sovereign by design.

End-to-End Encrypted

Signal-model encryption. The infrastructure never sees plaintext. Even if a node is completely compromised, the attacker gets only encrypted blobs.

Entity Sovereignty

Your memory belongs to you. No group, administrator, or infrastructure provider can force content into your memory. Switch providers -- keep your knowledge.

Culture-Governed Sharing

Groups share memory through culture policies mapped to cache coherence protocols. Chatty, moderate, or taciturn -- your team decides how knowledge flows.

Novelty Filtering

Not everything is worth remembering. The novelty engine uses conditional entropy to keep memory dense and valuable, not large and noisy.

Peers P2P Replication

Five primitives. Entity, Memory, Group, Culture, Trust. Every feature is expressed in terms of these five concepts.

Cache hierarchy. L0 (in-process) / L1 (identity) / L2 (searchable index) / L3 (cold archive). Modelled on CPU architecture, not invented from scratch.

P2P network. Rust node over QUIC. Peer lifecycle with governor (cold/warm/hot/banned). Anti-entropy sync for eventual consistency.

Model Agnostic. Open Network.

Any model, any provider. Cordelia works at the MCP layer -- it doesn't care what model you run. No vendor lock-in. Switch providers and keep your memory.

Works today. Production-ready with Claude Code on Linux and macOS. Install in one command. More integrations planned -- or raise a PR and build your own.

Run the network. Cordelia gets stronger as the network grows. Run a portal for your team. Run a relay node to extend the mesh. The protocol is open -- the more infrastructure, the more resilient the network.

Open Source

AGPL-3.0. Three repositories. Built to run on your infrastructure. We use Cordelia to build Cordelia.
