Welcome to UniKey™

We’re a technology development company focused on solving hard problems in payments and identity.

After 15 years of tenacious R&D and international patent filings, we’ve achieved a series of breakthroughs—culminating in a cryptographic trust layer for the internet, built on SMTP and DNS.

In late 2024, we announced a major, and the innovation has continued since. The result is two powerful new global networks:

1. UniKey Payments Network

2. UniKey Identity Network

While each network has clear nine-figure ARR potential, this acquisition should be first viewed as a strategic corporate asset—a global trust network that connects every device with a secure two-tap user experience and does not require an app or any modification on the user device.   This is an asset that anyone in payments or identity should own before their competitors do.  

This website provides a detailed introduction to these networks, the underlying technology, intellectual property, and the experienced team behind UniKey.

Now Available for Acquisition:

The complete technology stack and patent portfolio (100+ assets).
