Commitment symbols are passive.
A diamond does nothing.
It doesn't hold the moment.
The ring sits on the finger and does nothing. It doesn't remember the day you made the promise. It doesn't hold the words you said. The most important decision of your life left no digital trace.
The Product
Cryptographic proof on your finger.
Hardware
Sterling silver, brushed finish. Oura-level premium. Clean dome profile. Passive — no battery, no charging.
Chip
NTAG424 DNA chip inside. Every tap generates a unique AES-128 cryptographic signature — unforgeable, unrepeatable, permanent. No app required to verify. No external service. The ring is the proof.
Ceremony
Both partners tap. Cryptographically signed commitment. Timestamped. Permanent. The moment becomes a record.
What it isn't
Not a fitness tracker. Not an access badge. Not a gadget. It's a commitment ring. The NFC is the proof, not the pitch.
The Market
Two markets. Neither owns this.
$1B+
Smart ring market · growing at 30% CAGR · no one owns the emotional layer
$30B
Global engagement ring market · couples increasingly rejecting diamond tradition
92%
Digital identity penetration in Sweden · Swedes already sign mortgages and tax returns digitally. A digital commitment ceremony is culturally resonant — not weird. First-mover advantage.
