Introvert – The First Step Toward a New Kind of Digital Society

Why This Matters to Me Personally?

Hey, I'm Dmitrii, Co-Founder and CEO of Shegby, Inc. Together with my wife and partner Anastasia, we live in Tallinn and travel constantly, observing how the digital world actually works.

After years in Web3, digital forensics, and e-commerce consulting, I arrived at a simple conclusion: **personal data is the most valuable asset of the 21st century. And we're giving it away for free.**

This insight became the foundation for our main goal - Shegby Network State: a decentralized, anonymous, and transparent digital society. To make this happen, we built HumanRank - a P2P verification algorithm where people vouch for each other.

In the era of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, you should be able to verify your identity anywhere without revealing a single byte of personal information. Want to know something about me? Pay for it - because my data has value. And so does yours. This should be everyone's motto.

Introvert isn't just a dating app. It's the critical first step toward the Network State.

The Problem We Experienced Ourselves?

Like millions of others, we tried traditional dating apps. The result? A dopamine treadmill: endless photo swiping that turns people into commodities, matches that end in ghosting or, worse, harassment.

The system is designed to keep you hooked, not to connect you. Quantity of attention matters more than quality of connection.

To fix dating, we need to rewrite the rules from scratch:

1) No photos, no swiping, no personal data storage. Focus shifts entirely to AI-facilitated connection based on intentions and values, not instant visual judgment.

2) Privacy is an axiom, not an option. Introvert is built on complete anonymity. But anonymity doesn't mean low trust. Access works strictly through invites (P2P verification). Whoever invites you vouches for your behavior. This creates a foundational layer of accountability and safety that traditional apps lack.

3) Respect for intentions. We remove the pressure to meet offline immediately. Users clearly choose: "Meet" or "Chat." People seeking real connection match for meetings, while others enjoy anonymous dialogue without obligations.

4) AI Co-pilot: your digital matchmaker you can trust. Our proprietary, trainable AI agent is Introvert's heart. It creates a secure anonymous bridge between your Telegram (or WhatsApp/Signal) and your match's account. The AI sits in the middle, offering real-time advice and conversation prompts to help establish genuine connection while protecting you from spam, harassment, and unwanted content. It's a kind matchmaker that puts your safety first.

5) A new approach to safety and trust. Our trust layer is unique. You can exclude matches from your immediate circle - or conversely, ask the Co-pilot to connect you with a friend of a friend that you or your inviter trusts. Control stays with you.

After Launch: Sharing the Success

The dating market is worth tens of billions of dollars. Yet users who generate the data and attention get nothing. This contradicts our philosophy of digital sovereignty.

Our long-term goal is to build a truly decentralized community model where we share Introvert's revenue with our users. Especially with early supporters and pioneers backing us on Geyser. You're not just a user or donor - **you're a co-founder and co-owner of the future of private, ethical connection.**

By supporting us, you're not just funding an MVP. You're funding the first step toward a Network State where privacy, accountability, and the value of your data finally get the respect they deserve.

Join us in building Introvert - and the Network State - where connection is real and your data is safe.
