The Surveillance Atlas — Xeris Technologies

The Receipts

It is not a feeling — it is documented. The Atlas of Surveillance maps the cameras, license-plate readers, drones, and face-recognition systems that U.S. law enforcement deploys against the public. This is the world Xeris is built to push back against.

Beyond the agency programs above, the DeFlock community pinpoints individual automated license-plate readers — camera by camera — in OpenStreetMap. This is the surveillance grid as it physically exists.

The Counterweight

Everything above is the surveillance grid as it exists — every plate logged, every face matched, every transaction traced. Xeris is the opt-out: a chain where what you spend stays yours, and an AI whose memory only your wallet can unlock.

On-Chain Privacy

Hide the amount.

On Xeris, transaction amounts can be shielded. Zero-knowledge proofs let the network confirm a transfer is valid — no double-spend, balances reconcile — without ever exposing how much moved. A public ledger that keeps your numbers private.

Encrypted Memory

Your memory. Your keys.

Ari remembers — but every memory is encrypted and written to the chain, unlocked by your wallet alone. No cloud, no telemetry, no training on your data. Not us, not a server seizure, not a subpoena can read it. You hold the only key to your own history.
