Kerna
Privacy & Sovereign Compute
Fully Homomorphic Encryption, confidential computing, and decentralized identity. The foundation layer for all Peaksāensuring cooperative infrastructure operates with cryptographic privacy and individual sovereignty by design.
Investment Thesis
Every Peak in the C3 Alliance generates sensitive data: energy consumption patterns, health biomarkers, farm operational metrics, financial transactions. Without cryptographic privacy infrastructure, cooperative ownership simply shifts surveillance from corporations to collectives.
Kerna funds the privacy and sovereignty technologies that make genuine cooperative economics possible. By ensuring members retain control of their data even within cooperative systems, Kerna enables the trust infrastructure necessary for large-scale cooperative coordination.
Fully Homomorphic Encryption
Compute on encrypted data without decryption, enabling cooperative analytics and coordination while preserving individual member privacy. The cryptographic foundation for privacy-preserving cooperation.
Confidential Computing
Hardware-based trusted execution environments that ensure data remains encrypted even during processing, protecting cooperative systems from infrastructure-level compromise.
Decentralized Identity
Self-sovereign identity systems that enable cooperative membership verification without centralized identity providers, preserving pseudonymity while enabling trust.
Litigation Finance
Strategic investment in privacy rights litigation that creates legal precedents protecting cooperative infrastructure, funding the legal battles that establish data sovereignty rights.
Foundation Layer
Kerna technologies integrate across all Peaksāproviding privacy infrastructure for energy cooperatives (Fulmina), healthcare DACOs (VekiÄa), farmer data sovereignty (Rikolta), and every other cooperative system in the C3 Alliance.
E2C Pathway
Kerna portfolio companies develop privacy technologies that become shared infrastructure for all C3 Alliance cooperatives. As the ecosystem grows, these technology providers transition to cooperative ownership by the DACOs they serveāensuring privacy infrastructure remains aligned with member interests rather than surveillance capitalism.
The litigation finance component creates legal infrastructure protecting cooperative data rights, establishing precedents that benefit the entire cooperative ecosystem while generating returns from successful privacy rights cases.
