About the project

Minkaly

Minkaly is an offline-first sales assistant built for informal merchants who sell through chat but lack reliable access to AI, payment protection and synchronized business tools.

What it does

Izi, Minkaly’s local assistant, answers product questions, checks real catalog prices and stock, builds orders and requires explicit confirmation before protecting a payment.

The complete journey works across two devices:

A merchant photographs a product.
QVAC extracts structured catalog data locally.
Izi answers customers without inventing prices or stock.
WDK protects the payment through an escrow flow.
Pear/Hyperswarm synchronizes catalog and order state directly between devices.

WDK integration

WDK CLI is a central product component. It creates and encrypts the seller wallet, unlocks it through the local daemon, derives its Sepolia address and locks it again.

The WDK SDK signs escrow operations with real, verifiable ECDSA signatures. Minkaly refuses to start if the address derived by WDK CLI does not match the SDK identity.

We also completed a real gasless escrow cycle on Sepolia. Both operations were sponsored by the paymaster, so the client paid no gas:

QVAC and Pears

QVAC runs 4B Q4 text and multimodal models locally. All structured model output is validated, retried and given a deterministic fallback.

Pear, Hypercore and Hyperswarm synchronize catalog and orders without a central server. Peers use private pairing topics, persistent Noise identities, allowlists and signed events. The project also includes a standalone win32-x64 build and verified P2P OTA updates.

Why it matters

Minkaly gives small merchants an assistant that keeps working when internet connectivity is unstable, never invents catalog information, protects customer payments and keeps multiple devices synchronized without surrendering business data to a central platform.
