Architecture
Eight layers. One system.
Each layer does one job. Apps and agents combine them, so identity, payments, communication and AI permissions work the same way everywhere on Gao Internet.

All layer relationships
- Gao Workspace uses Gao Domains: Signs people, teams and agents in with their own identity.
- Gao Workspace uses Gao Payment: Receipts, invoices and billing settle through Gao Payment.
- Gao Workspace uses Gao Network: Messages and notifications reach customers and teammates.
- Gao Workspace uses Gao AI OS: Agents assist with operations under granted permissions.
- Gao Browser uses Gao Domains: Resolves .gao names and verifies apps and merchants.
- Gao Browser uses Gao Payment: Presents payment prompts for the user to approve.
- Gao Browser uses Gao AI OS: Surfaces AI actions behind policy checks.
- Gao SDK exposes Gao Domains: Identity and .gao resolution for third-party apps.
- Gao SDK exposes Gao Payment: Payment intents and receipts for third-party apps.
- Gao SDK exposes Gao Network: Messaging and notifications for third-party apps.
- Gao SDK exposes Gao AI OS: Scoped agent permissions for third-party apps and agents.
- Gao Payment uses Gao Domains: Payments are tied to the payer's own identity and wallet.
- Gao AI OS uses Gao Domains: Agents are bound to the identity they act for.
- Gao AI OS uses Gao Payment: Agent-initiated payments still need the user's approval.
- Gao Network runs on Gao DePIN: Community nodes contribute relay and storage capacity.
How Gao Internet works
From intent to receipt.
One identity, one set of permissions, one trail of receipts — across every app, agent and device.
- 01
A person, business or AI agent
Every action starts with someone — or an agent acting for them.
- 02
Signs in with their own identity
A .gao identity they own, with keys that stay on their device.
- 03
Opens a Gao app
Gao Workspace, Gao Browser or any app built with Gao SDK — same identity everywhere.
- 04
Communicates privately
Messages, notifications and relays travel over Gao Network.
- 05
Approves payments and actions
Sensitive steps wait for the user's approval. Payments settle without custody.
- 06
Lets agents help — within limits
AI agents act only inside the permissions granted, with an audit trail.
- 07
Runs on community capacity
Independent DePIN nodes contribute storage and relay capacity underneath.
- 08
Gets the result — and the receipt
The outcome is delivered and the record stays with the user.
Illustrative flow. Each Gao app uses only the layers it needs.
The 8 layers
Every layer, live.
From the workspace you use to the nodes underneath — all eight layers of Gao Internet are running.

Gao SDKLive
Gao SDK is the developer entry point to Gao Internet. Apps and agents integrate identity, payments, messaging and agent permissions through it — without taking custody of anyone's keys or funds.
SDK guides
- Getting startedPick the Gao product to build on and what you need.
- IdentitySign-in sessions, bearer tokens and verifiable identity with Gao ID.
- DePINRun a Gao DePIN node on your own hardware or join the network.
- Android SDKRun a Gao DePIN relay node inside an Android app.
- InstallationAdd the SDK to an Android project.
- API referenceThe HTTP APIs a third party can call today.
- DownloadsEvery artifact the portal publishes, with SHA-256 checksums.
- ExamplesSample apps and reference integrations.
Trust
Trust is built into the architecture.
Users hold their identity and keys. Apps and agents get only the permissions they're given, and every sensitive step leaves a record.
- 01RequestAn app or agent asks to act.
- 02Your approvalConfirmed with keys on your device.
- 03Policy checkRules run before anything executes.
- 04Scoped permissionOnly what the task needs.
- 05ReceiptA record you can review later.
User-owned identity
A .gao identity belongs to the person or business that holds it. Apps request access; they don't own the account.
Non-custodial by design
Keys and signatures stay on the user's device. Gao Payment moves value without holding user funds.
Explicit authorization
Payments and sensitive actions require the user's approval before they run.
End-to-end encrypted messaging
Meshii, the messaging app on Gao Network, provides end-to-end encrypted messaging.
Capability-scoped AI
Agents receive narrowly scoped permissions for specific tasks — not blanket access to data or funds.
Policy-gated execution
Sensitive operations are checked against policy before they execute.
Auditable operations
Receipts, approvals and agent actions leave records that can be reviewed afterwards.
Decentralized infrastructure
Independent operators contribute capacity through Gao DePIN nodes they own.
Network & infrastructure
Public infrastructure, owned by the people who use it.
Names, connections and capacity are part of the Internet itself — not features of a single app.
05Gao DomainsLive
A name you own
Claim a .gao name once and use it everywhere — for your wallet, your apps, your business and your AI agents.
06Gao NetworkLive
Private connections
Messages, notifications and relays move between people, apps and agents. Meshii brings it to your phone with end-to-end encrypted chats.
07Gao DePINLive
Capacity from the community
Independent operators run Gao DePIN nodes that contribute storage and relay capacity — owned and controlled by the people who run them.
