Manifesto

ODINID — Cooperative Network Operator (CNO)

ODINID is a Cooperative Network Operator (CNO): member-governed shared infrastructure built on VerusID for identity-first login, governance, and checkout/invoicing surfaces.

Non-custodial by design: ODINID does not store keys or hold funds. For formal scope boundaries, read the non-intermediary statement.

A CNO maintains shared infrastructure for cost recovery, not transaction rent.

Non-intermediary statementLog in with VerusID
Neutral
  • No custody (no keys, no funds).
  • No data monetization or advertising model.
  • No vendor lock-in: members can operate nodes independently.
Cooperative
  • Operated by members, not a single vendor.
  • Governance is auditable and tied to VerusID.
  • Fees are designed for cost-recovery, not rent extraction.
Protocol-level
  • VerusID (Layer 1): the cryptographic identity primitive (your key, your sovereignty).
  • ODINID (Layer 2): the cooperative operations layer for governance and integrations.
CNO terminology

“CNO” here means Cooperative Network Operator. Within Verus, “CNO” can also refer to “Common Network Objects”. This manifesto uses CNO strictly as an operations and governance role, not a protocol data structure.

What you can build
  • Run your own authority (member-operated).
  • Issue your own domain and policies via VerusID.
  • Anchor compliance proofs with auditable state transitions.
  • Integrate checkout and invoicing flows without identity custody.
Principle

ODINID says: “Identity is not a product. Identity is a right.”

For the formal scope boundaries, see the non-intermediary statement.
