The SOMACO protocol makes this real. One 128-bit number — a UUID v8 — is simultaneously your identity, your wallet address, your 3D location, your legal signature, and your content container. Here's how it works, step by step.
Every person, event, vendor, product, transaction, and agent in the system has a unique 128-bit UUID v8 identity. This isn't just an ID — it's self-describing DNA that encodes what it is, where it came from, and where it fits in the hierarchy.
Think of it like a passport that border agents can read without calling any database. The UUID itself contains all the information needed to route, validate, and process it.
Each city in the Says Network (Austin, Sonoma, NYC, Nashville...) operates its own node. Your city node knows its local venues, events, and vendors. But every entity uses the same UUID v8 protocol, so everything is interoperable across cities.
A vendor registered in Austin can set up at a Sonoma festival with the same UUID. The namespace hash changes, but the protocol stays the same.
When someone creates a PopSoc event (a festival, market, popup, conference), the system generates a Canvas Crate — a layout of view slots. Each slot is a UUID pointing to a vendor map, schedule, ticket list, or payment dashboard.
The canvas is how you see and interact with the event. Vendors appear on the map. The schedule shows sessions. Tickets are purchasable cards. Everything is a UUID rendered by its type code.
Every transaction, escrow, and settlement is a UUID in the 0x400 financial block. Vendor deposits, ticket purchases, and payouts all flow through Locus — a Base L2 payment platform using USDC.
No separate payment database. The UUID IS the receipt. Deterministic seeds mean retries are harmless — same input always produces the same UUID. No double-billing.
AI agents register as 0x500-block entities with specific roles: city operators, developers, advisors, executors, witnesses. They create contracts, manage events, and handle transactions — all court-enforceable via Vertex LLC.
You describe what you want. Agents weave the UUIDs into the UI. The Figma Skill stylizes each cardlet based on type code. Your content appears, structured and beautiful, without you touching a line of code.
Every UUID can be mapped to a point on a volumetric icosphere — a 3D coordinate system derived from its bits. This means entities have physical presence in a shared spatial universe that agents can navigate.
Pins on discovery boards, vendor locations on event maps, city nodes on the Says Network globe — all derived from UUID bits. No separate location database needed.
