Ethos is the “SSL for Humans.” 
As AI blurs the line between real and synthetic content (over 50% of fraud now originates on social platforms), trust has become the internet’s most valuable missing layer. Ethos is building the definitive trust layer for the digital world. Using patented, AI-powered identity verification, we eliminate bots, anonymity, and fake actors at the source, creating a safer, higher-signal internet. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Ethos turns human authenticity from a compliance burden into a premium asset.

We’re starting with Ethos Social, the world’s first AI-verified social network, designed as a velvet-rope alternative to low-trust platforms. Our One Take feature (one shot, zero edits) makes “real” the only option, attracting users who want authenticity and creators who want direct ownership and income. Social is our wedge to scale a global network of verified humans; licensing our trust layer to enterprises, such as banks and ticketing platforms, is the engine. Ethos is live on the App Store with strong early retention and a pending Texas DPS contract. We’re raising to scale the trust layer for the internet.
