Platform
Founderia is one world—persistent, coherent, and built so that how you reach it is optional. State and identity live in our systems. Coherence layers keep them consistent across every access tier. Residency allocation provides dedicated, additive capacity for sustained presence without crowding out or degrading the experience of others. The platform is designed for the long run: crypto-agile security, verified non-impact, and governance that evolves without claiming a final form.
Layers of access
Same world. Same session when you switch. The only thing that changes is how deep you go—browser, immersive, or full interface. We have verified cross-substrate continuity: you can move between devices, clients, and levels of embodiment without re-establishing identity or losing context. One identity, all substrates.
Browser
The baseline. Open from any device—no install, no special hardware. Full participation with latency and fidelity that set the bar for browser-based persistent worlds. The majority of participants use this layer; we continue to extend what the browser can do so that everyone can step in.
Immersive
Headset and room-scale when you want it. The world fills your field of view; state and identity carry over from browser thanks to the coherence stack. We support major immersive runtimes and standards. Same session when you switch—different way in.
Full interface
The deepest tier. For those who qualify and choose it—we don't advertise it broadly, and we don't hide it. Technical and ethical boundaries are documented in our responsible innovation framework. Full interface evolves through use and research; participants who qualify see updates in tier-specific communications.

Coherence and continuity
Coherence is an architectural invariant, not a feature we bolt on. Our coherence layers ensure that state remains consistent across browser, immersive, and full interface—synchronizing state, resolving conflicts, and maintaining a single source of truth for identity and context where it matters. Transitions between tiers are treated as a change in representation, not a new session. We have completed verification of cross-substrate continuity under normal operation: state and identity persist across radically different access configurations without unintended loss or reinitialization.
That foundation is what makes multi-tier participation viable. Without it, depth fragments. With it, participants move fluidly between contexts without renegotiating their relationship to the system each time. Architecture →
Residency and capacity
Residency allocation sets aside dedicated, additive capacity for sustained presence—participants who maintain long-horizon engagement and benefit from reserved resources and predictable continuity. Allocation is managed so that residency does not displace or degrade the experience of others. Verification of non-impact is part of our governance before any capacity change: no crowding out, no latency tax. We have published verification that residency allocation does not impact core gameplay or throughput for other participant classes; net-positive or neutral outcomes are the bar.
Capacity planning for residency is treated as ethical infrastructure—a living allocation problem, with sustainability and fairness in the language we use, not only growth metrics. Residency & capacity →
Participation, safety, and trust
The platform supports participant-class diversity: different access methods, assistive technologies, automation aids, and latency profiles are first-class. Matchmaking and placement are policy-driven—skill, latency, language, safety, and fairness—so that mixed cohorts (humans, assistive systems, and bounded automation) share the world without degrading experience. We publish a framework for artificial agency and autonomy: boundary protocols, no agent replacement of human participation, and delegation that is explicit and auditable where we allow it.
Security and continuity are built for the long run. We use crypto-agile design so we can rotate algorithms and upgrade security without breaking the ecosystem—including readiness for post-quantum cryptography as standards and timelines mature. Identity and assets accumulate value over years; we design for that horizon. Security & continuity →
Built for the long run
Persistence is a guarantee, not a feature. We define what we restore and how far we're willing to roll back; replication, failover, and recovery semantics are part of the design. The platform runs on infrastructure that can allocate, roll, and retire capacity with the discipline of high-traffic services—schedulable, containerized workloads—while keeping the game tick and real-time path where it belongs. Scalability and global distribution are documented for partners; availability, continuity, and a world-class experience are the targets for everyone.
We do not claim a final form. Coherence is described as infrastructure, not control. Governance is provisional and evolves. What we do claim is continuity, trust, and coherence first—then we let capability accrete around those guarantees. For deeper technical detail, see the subpages below.
