Today’s social and technological landscape is a fertile ground for new ideas, services and tools which are being developed quickly and continuously. Users are presented with more choice than ever before. However, choice is provided at the expense of privacy, security and personal data usage.

Essentia provides a complete set of solutions to users, decentralized service providers and their technologies. Essentia is the multi asset swiss-army knife solution that users always have in their pocket. Providing a gateway to decentralized resources and, through them, traditional internet services, while also having exclusive, full control, over their identity, digital life and data.

Essentia fills the solution gap of the current landscape and makes available a complete and versatile multi-chain framework. Its primary goal is to empower users with a toolset of decentralized solutions which seamlessly integrate with on-chain or off-chain systems, services or resources. Essentia protects users’ privacy, needs and security by developing a bleeding-edge and user-friendly framework. The Essentia framework gives full and granular control to users and enables them to act anonymously, pseudo-anonymously or publicly. Users can decide whether or not to share their data in part or in full and when, how and where that data is shared. Beyond the ID system and its connected data and metadata tools or services, Essentia also provides secure, trustable and decentralized software environment solutions that can run on all major OSs and hardware.

Essentia is the connective tissue between the user, decentralized resources and traditional systems. It enables anyone, anywhere to take advantage in full of current and future technologies. The Essentia framework is the missing link that finally enables a trustable, simple and powerful way to interact with decentralized systems and everything that can be connected with them, whether software or hardware.

Essentia is built with a modular architecture that can deploy, scale and configure its infrastructure to fit custom, personal setups or resource-intensive applications, automated or IoT frameworks. It fits the everyday use of beginner as well as expert users.

The ESS-ID is an HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) “wallet” where the first sets of derived addresses that are generated from the Seed, correspond, and are linked at low-level, with the user ID(s), their data, setups and configurations, while also with the Essentia framework specific infrastructure, configurations and data. From the Seed, and by following pre-determined derivation patterns, Essentia is able to bootstrap its framework, completely or partially, by using the generated keys for building up and deploying both the software operational environment and the user-space, that is populated with its data, content and configurations.

The ESS-ID is the Identity core of the Essentia Framework. It works similarly to a HD wallet and can be created, or managed, via software or dedicated hardware devices. It has optional multi-signature features and capabilities. At the logical level, it consists of a Root-ID that is a HD cryptographic master-key able to create and manage its Sub-IDs (public-keys) and their connected levels of operations and authorizations. Root-IDs can also create and manage individual and groups of Sub-IDs, including IDs from other users as well as their Auths. Multiple users are able to join groups or not and can eventually agree on specific Auths or operations by multi-signing the agreement itself and so adhering to its rules.

The ESS-Home and the ESS-OS are the decentralized Essentia Data Environment and Operating System. While also being a blockchain gateway and interface, they offer a trustable and secure operating environment for the user and a native context for the Modules of the Essentia Platform/Framework to be deployed and operated. The ESS-Home can be a standalone “Application” that runs inside other active operating systems (e.g. on mobile) or in-browser, while the ESS-OS is “The” operating system itself which can run in live-mode or installed on the vast majority of machines and architectures available.

The ESS-Home component is the main hub of the Essentia Framework where the ESS-Modules connect with each-other and the user’s interaction can happen in full. The ESS-OS and ESS-Home, as the complete framework, are open source and can be seamlessly configured in several flavors to be used by different user-types for their preferred activities or setups. The Home and OS are “clean” and user friendly, yet very robust, secure and trustable.

Essentia Modules are the fundamental parts constituting the Essentia Framework constellation. They expand the ESS-ID and ESS-Home/OS functionalities by allowing them to interact with each-other and with decentralized resources or traditional ones.
