Your models. Your machine. Your workspace.

YveChat connects a hosted workspace to AI models running on your computer. Your models, conversations, images, and compute stay on your machine.

#### One word

Money learned this lesson first.

A generation discovered that holding your own keys changes your relationship to what you own. Custody moved from an institution to an individual. The phrase became a rule: your keys, your coins.

Intelligence is next.

Today the work of thinking happens inside accounts owned by other people. Prompts, drafts, research, contracts, and half-formed ideas accumulate on servers you will never see, under terms you did not write. The most personal record of how a person reasons has become someone else's asset.

YveChat applies self-custody to that record.

#### What you hold

| Layer        | What you hold                        | How it is held                                   |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Compute**  | The model itself                     | Ollama and ComfyUI running on your hardware      |
| **Data**     | Conversations and generated images   | A database on your own disk, managed locally     |
| **Access**   | The link between browser and machine | A six-digit code you approve yourself            |
| **Identity** | Your profile                         | A local account, or an optional wallet signature |

Four layers. Each one held by you.

#### What this document covers

The pages ahead set out the problem in the market, the position YveChat occupies, the setup a new user follows, the architecture that delivers it, the honest limits of that architecture, and the economics of the `$YVE` token.

Every capability carries one of three labels: Available, Experimental, or Planned. The limits are stated as plainly as the strengths. Every constraint in [Limitations](/wp/product-scope/limitations.md) carries a link to its primary source, because a sovereignty claim that dissolves under checking is worth nothing.

{% hint style="info" %}
YveChat is a developer preview. An unsigned preview archive is available now; signed production installers and streamlined onboarding remain Planned. Forward-looking statements are set out in [Disclaimer](/wp/res/disclaimer.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
`$YVE` remains pre-TGE. It will be deployed on BNB Chain, but no contract address has been published and no sale is open today. Verify the current status and, after generation, the official address through [Verified Links](/wp/res/verified-links.md).
{% endhint %}

Self-custody reshaped money.

It is coming for your mind.
