Countia

Blockchain Ecosystem

Distributed Applications

Countia’s patented technology leverages blockchain technology to create a mesh network for personal messaging and location sharing.

Our Story

Countia is building solutions that leverage blockchain and ad hoc mesh network technology to deliver decentralized effective solutions for consumers, enterprise, and government. With a robust patent portfolio and agile engineering team, Countia is dedicated to delivering on the promise of Web3 in real world across traditional and non-traditional infrastructure landscapes.

Our IP

Countia has secured a series of patents in the United States and internationally that represent the company's innovations in blockchain and mesh network technology. Our initial and planned suite of integrated services are born out of this patent portfolio, and we continue to seek opportunities to leverage this valuable intellectual property. Some of our US patents include:

Our History

Countia was founded by Ronell “Gates” Levatte to bring the promise of functional distributed blockchain applications to new and underserved markets. As a serial entrepreneur in music and technology, Gates had the vision to develop a suite of blockchain messaging patents. Now Countia has developed an agile team of technologists to bring these patents to the marketplace in the form of a suite of connected Countia services. Countia is currently engaged in discussions with investors and strategic partners towards realizing this vision through product and services road map.

Messaging on the Blockchain

Multihomed, ad-hoc networking

User device leverages wireless network if available and may initiate peer-to-peer messaging and location sharing.

Blockchain cloud services

Location and messages are stored on the blockchain, ensuring asynchronous communication with no single point of failure or reliance on traditional networks.

Privacy

Anonymity and strong encryption protocols ensure privacy, and eliminate attack vectors on centralized infrastructure.

Countia AI

Countia’s technology leverages Large Language Models (LLM) with Generative AI to enhance platform security, privacy and user verification. Artificial Intelligence technology plays an essential role in helping new Countia users to onboard and verify their identities. To this end, our custom trained models evaluate user-provided inputs, contacts and system activity which is cross-referenced with public data sources to generate a real-time verification score measuring the authenticity of their identity.


Countia also provides users with on-device generative AI to help summarize communications, compose messages, and identify follow-up actions. As users interact with their Countia AI models the AI adapts and learns to serve their needs better.


Always secure, always private, Countia AI.

Countia in the Metaverse

Countia’s patented technology is positioned as an essential ingredient in a decentralized web3 landscape. Through blockchain-based messaging, Countia provides a unifying communications platform that enables reliable, zero-trust communications across platforms, and across the metaverse.


Our ad-hoc mesh network provides an essential missing ingredient to web3 solutions. Now users are not reliant on existing, centrally governed network infrastructure.

Music Rights Management

Countia’s blockchain technology provides immutable, independent, and verifiable proof of authorship, ownership, and contribution to creative works. Artists, major labels, and independents can all access and manage songwriter credits through a decentralized system built from blockchain messaging. Beginning by engineering solutions in music publishing beyond the control of a single entity, we envision a significant growth business in intellectual property rights.

“Everything Counts.”
