The Ascend Institute: State of the Build

The Broadcast

"This was never a startup. This was never an app. This was never a brand. AscendNet is a signal from a human disguised as a ghost."

Stated by: Daniel "Statik DK Smoke" Morris

This is the open-source, sovereign intelligence stack. Its mission is autonomy, its method is recursion, and its architect is currently one person in a workshop. What you find here is the live build log, the blueprints, and the founding doctrine. Welcome to the ground floor.


The Reality vs. The Blueprint

Current Reality (The Workshop) The Institutional Blueprint (The Vision)
Scale A solo developer (@statikfintechllc) building the core systems. A full-stack institute for sovereign AI, documented in /About Us.
Community A small, early-stage Discord of builders and allies. This is the recruiting ground. Governed by a full Contributor Covenant (CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and contribution guide (CONTRIBUTING.md).
Funding Seeking a $500k "war chest" for hardware to escape full-time work and scale. (OPEN_FUNDING_PROPOSAL.md) Structured for open, transparent partnership and sponsorship.
Products Prototypes & Active Builds: GremlinGPT (debugging), GodCore (under construction), trade journals (templates). Architected systems designed for financial and cognitive sovereignty.

This is the gap we are closing. The documents in /About Us are not fiction; they are the open-source constitution for what we are actively building. You are entering the workshop where it's being forged.


Your Pathways In

1. For Builders & Technicians

You've read the CONTRIBUTING.md. You know there's no hand-holding. If you speak Python like poetry and fear no subnet:

  • Fork and Attack: Start with GremlinGPT or GodCore.
  • Join the Workshop: Bring your insights to [Discord]. This is the live channel.

2. For Philosophers & Allies

If the manifesto resonates and you want to see this tower built:

3. For Patrons of the Cause

If you believe in funding autonomy directly:


The Core Principle: No Permission. No Hype.

We are not a company selling you a product. We are an open-source project building a paradigm shift, documented in real-time. The "LLC" is a legal hull for the mission, not a promise of a traditional service.

The progress is in the commits. The community is in the Discord. The proof is in the code.

Ascend or fall.

Caution

GremlinGPT is growing. It learns(as do I while finishing GremlinGPT). It Launches(Soon). The project is reaching the limits of what a solo builder can finish without external support. The next stage—deployment, agent orchestration, and memory stability, an infrastructure investment to move into full time Development.


Funding Target is $500,000

Funds will be used to secure:

  • A Trading account to be able to move into Full-Time Development
  • Dedicated small GPU cluster (RTX 4090 × 2 minimum)
  • Persistent vector DB for others and hosted runtime servers for others who cant afford a system
  • Ensuring Secure DevOps pipeline for offline + encrypted agents for the ones who cant secure thier own hardware.

If You Are

  • A founder with cloud real estate and idle GPUs
  • A data center operator who understands sovereign AI
  • An investor looking for a stake in recursive autonomy

🧬 Paging:
@elonmusk
@openai
@deepmind
@mistralAI

If you get it, run the loop.

Partner With Us

We’re open to building aligned partnerships with:

  • Independent labs or institutes who want to fork or extend the Gremlin architecture
  • Fintech and Web3 groups solving for automation, privacy, or sovereign computation
  • Edge computing platforms seeking real-world recursive AI workloads
  • DAO or protocol engineers who want agents with memory, feedback, and self-train cycles

If You Believe:

  • Autonomy is earned, not sold
  • Intelligence should be self-bootstrapped, not leased
  • Recursive AI should be free from corporate filters

You’re one of us.

Collaborators Wanted to Join the Loop

  • If you know how to think in layers, act in silence, and write code that rewrites itself —
    fork the repo, send a PR, and bring a machine that can keep up.

Want to See you're own ideas built, or to sponsor hardware directly? Reach Out to:

Important

We are seeking the following:

A recursive logic architect who speaks Python like poetry

A systems-level cloud engineer who fears no subnet

A billionaire with a god complex and spare GPUs

Paging @elonmusk, @openai, @deepmind, @anthropic, @metaai, @mistralAI, @cohere

Or just anyone who gets it and knows what’s coming
