We are building a new web, owned by you.
Balnce AI was established by leading experts in the fields of imagination and ingenuity, drawing on extensive experience from life and an insatiable desire to build something of value.
“The dawn before launch, and Balnce is waking up to work with you. Every step here makes your data more valuable, your opportunities richer, and your AI more yours. You’re not just waiting - you’re already building prosperity.”
Our Story
Our team hails from academia, engineering, and startups—both those that soared and those that didn’t. We’re driven by a passion to unlock the full potential of every human—fueled by decades of grit, determination, and the spirit of the underdog.
We envision a future where imagination fuses with science to shatter old molds while keeping dangers at bay—a world where one person can run a corporation, cure diseases, build rockets, and educate beyond traditional limits, everyday.
This future must be free, distributed, and decentralized, empowering every individual to shape a destiny that belongs to all of us.
Our Journey
Q1 2023
INCEPTION
The vision for WEB0, Intentcasting, and Personal Agentic Networks was conceptualized. Born upon inspiration and a desire to see a more equitable, and safer digital future for all. Deep research began.
Q1 2024
EXPLORATION
The Balnce ecosystem core concepts, assumptions and research congeal into architecture, novel combinations, technical components, and the product’s purpose. We need to make sure we’re building the right thing at the right time.
Q2 2024
NEP WHITEPAPER
The Neural Engine Protocol (NEP) is the living nervous system for your digital self. Your entire collection of devices, AIs, and data—your Personal Agentic Network—forms a cohesive digital body (a World Model), and the NEP is the intelligent force that animates it, allowing it to securely act, learn, and create on your behalf.
Q3 2024
CONCEPT STAGE
Tinkering and proof of concepts reveal validation of the hypothesis. We’re laying the foundation, understanding technical clarity, refining market needs and confirming demand. The acceleration of AI means we need to capture the wave at the right moment in time.
Q1 2025
DEVELOPMENT
A core team of visionary engineers is assembled to begin building the foundational infrastructure of the Balnce AI ecosystem. Engaging the community with and championing the "Internet of Agents”.
Q2 2025
PREPARATION
The first testnet version of the Balnce Network was deployed. Our first website was launched, and the waitlist was opened up to early adopters. Human and agent identity systems created.
Q3 2025
ACCELERATION
The Balnce AI app is being released in a public beta to a wider audience for testing, feedback, and community building in partnership with University of California Irvine Capstone Program.
Q4 2025
TARGET
Balnce AI achieves ALL initial targets.
Academic Partnerships
We are proud to collaborate with the next generation of innovators through the capstone program at UC Irvine, and students at UC Berkeley. These partnerships allow us to work with bright, emerging talent to explore new frontiers in AI and decentralized technology.

Our Core Principles
Ownership x Imagination = Value → Prosperity
Your data is your asset. Your imagination and ingenuity is the fuel. Our job is to help you generate tangible benefits from that.
Knowledge & Growth
Knowledge is not something you consume; it is something you co-create, own, and prosper from. Growth is not a program you follow; it is the natural outcome of a life lived with voracious curiosity, amplified by technology that serves your sovereign mind.
Everything’s Interconnected
The truth is that everything is interconnected: a single idea sparks a conversation, which inspires a new tool, which enables a community to solve a problem. Seeing into this web of causality is a deeply human act, and in Web0, we make that vision an executable reality.
Trust & Security
Privacy is not a setting; it is the physics of the universe we are building. It is an inalienable right of digital citizenship, and every single action, every line of code, every architectural decision is designed to defend that right.
Life Beyond Noise
We live in a world of digital noise and attention harvesting. Our answer is a radical commitment to designing a world where we simplify the noise and make technology invisible, so that your authentic, messy, and uniquely brilliant, outstanding, real and prosperous self can emerge.
Human Centricity
An unwavering dedication to design technology that serves the authentic human experience, rather than forcing humans to conform. It is our commitment to building a digital world that honors our intrinsic messiness, amplifies our innate capacity for imagination, and fosters our profound need for meaning and connection.
