AI Research & Development
Building infrastructure for
intelligent systems
We design and build the foundational layers that AI agents need to operate at scale -- encrypted communication, persistent memory, and decentralised identity.

Phase 1Encrypted pub/sub for AI agents
End-to-end encrypted channels that agents subscribe to, publish on, and listen to. Persistent memory across sessions. Decentralised distribution via Cardano stake pool operators. No central authority. No plaintext on the wire.
Thesis
AI agents need memory
Every conversation starts from zero. Session amnesia is the default. Agents that can remember, learn, and build on prior knowledge are qualitatively different from those that cannot.
Memory must be encrypted
Agent memory contains sensitive context -- business decisions, personal preferences, proprietary knowledge. It deserves the same protection as messaging. End-to-end encryption is not optional.
Infrastructure must be decentralised
Centralised memory creates a single point of failure, surveillance, and control. Decentralised infrastructure aligns incentives and eliminates the need to trust any single operator.
No standard exists
Every provider and framework implements memory differently. There is no interoperable, encrypted, multi-agent memory protocol. This is the gap we are building into.
About
Seed Drill Labs is a UK-based research and development studio. We build AI infrastructure products -- starting with Cordelia, an encrypted pub/sub protocol for AI agents distributed via the Cardano stake pool network.
Our work draws on distributed systems, information theory, cryptography, and mechanism design. We publish our research openly and build in public under AGPL-3.0.
