Sapience ZK (Sapience)


Sapience is a post-2020 applied research company that operates at the crossroads of industrial control systems, blockchain technology, and artifical intelligence. Our focus is on building simple, secure critical infrastructures with a holistic approach.





Information Architecture Technology

We’ve designed the first universal framework and methodology for connecting a global semantic context for any data item with the computational cost to produce it - a design pattern that encodes symbolic information and compute cost into unique IDs, removing the need for cloud platform based measurement and analytics approaches for intelligent control systems. Instead, systems architects can rely on a game theoretic approach to network design, aggregating information from competing data service providers. This ensures that dynamic, resilient systems can be created today to withstand the extreme environments of network fragmentation in 2030.

ZK powered Cyberphysical Production Systems

Industry 4.0 has been touted as revolutionary technology, promising to change the world, but so far? We are not impressed. Thanks to recent advances in the fields of event-driven industrial control systems (IEC 41499), blockchain technology and zero-knowledge research we're building an IT/OT stack specifically engineered to maximize security of critical infrastructures and enshrine human ingenuity at scale. We are building the first IEC 61499 Runtime that can be efficiently used with Zero-Knowledge Proofs. The IEC 61499 standard now matures from an exciting experiment to civilization-grade infrastructure. We are building the rails for a new world industry defined by provable security, understandable operational technologies, and computational freedom. A true civilization-grade computational infrastructure for Cyber Physical Production Systems

Join our co-working space

Sapience is pioneering new ways of collaboration, online and in real life. We are the first adopters of the tools we are building and are more than happy to help you get started with them. We like to do our work in public, and we deeply value in-person interactions which is why we chose to establish our offices in a public park in Nice, FR. Ping us whenever you're arround.
We like to joke that when Sapience trully made it, we will make the company's headquarters in the Tete Carrée building located in Sosno Square, Nice, FR.
