AI Moves Fast. Trust Doesn’t.
The Aligned Sovereign Intelligence Institute funds AI safety research and audits AI risk for enterprises and institutional capital.
The Challenge
“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”
Center for AI Safety, 2023
This statement was signed by Geoffrey Hinton, Demis Hassabis, Ilya Sutskever, executives from Google, Microsoft, xAI, OpenAI, PhD researchers worldwide, and our entire team. This is why we created the ASIP Grant Protocol.
Overview
The global AI ecosystem will represent approximately $16.2 trillion by 2030, yet funding remains centralized. Closed source companies concentrated in just a few countries have captured 90% of available funding (apx $1.35T)—creating a geographic and financial hold on AI development.

The Aligned Institute (ALI)
Our mission is to close the $1.35T investment gap between closed-source and open-source AI research. To do that we created two DLT grant services for AI alignment research (one public, one private), created an alignment service portfolio, and an AI risk platform for investor and corporate due diligence operators to support our grant mission. Connect with us on Linkedin here, explore our website, or apply by clicking below.
Public Grants
We introduced a public peer funding service known as the Aligned Beacon Commons (ABC), where peer review and funding happen transparently on-chain. Please read the FAQ, and click above to apply.
Private Grants
We are researchers funding AI alignment research with roots at universities, data science communities, and AI education hubs with over 1M members on LinkedIn. Please read the FAQ and click above to apply.
Aligned Signals
Aligned Institute Signals is the Consumer Reports of AI risk — the first independent platform that stress-tests AI models on actual production cost, safety, and reliability, built for investors and enterprises that can't afford to be wrong.

ADP
The Alignment Delegation Protocol (ADP) is a real-time, inference-integrated safety framework that streams token-level H-Neuron activation signals to detect deceptive model behavior and trigger internal self-correction.
ARA
Our Alignment Research App is one of the first dedicated AI alignment apps for researchers to explore and learn for free. Explore thousands of papers from the largest research repositories on the Internet:
Benchmark
The ALI Benchmark uses global standards by major institutions around the world for alignment reporting via ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI Risk Framework, the EU AI Act, alongside veteran AI safety research projects:
Glossary
We developed a comprehensive, searchable glossary with 200+ AI alignment/safety terms over 20 categories featuring interactive citation analytics, academic references, and a modern, responsive interface:

Transparency
The ASIP governance dashboards cement our commitment to transparency by showing you live information about ASIP allocation, circulation, treasury, and much more.
Architecture
ASIP's architecture offers efficiency and simplicity. It operates dual governance utility tokens that fund AI safety research via KPIs and delivers treasury predictability via hard assets.
The Trifecta
ASIP uses dual governance tokens and a treasury-focused one. It allocates 50% to funding research and is anti-arbitrage by design to focus on making performance off-chain meaningful on-chain.
KPI Funding
This article describes why legacy VC capital investment needs to evolve in the fast-paced, high-stakes AI era. ASIP is a step in that direction, where merit earns capital.
