The Biological Sovereignty Protocol is an open protocol that gives every individual cryptographic ownership of their biological data — genomics, clinical records, wearables, and more.

Where is my data stored?

All data is permanently stored on the Arweave network, a decentralized storage blockchain. No company can delete or revoke your access.

Do I need to pay to use BSP?

No. BSP is open source and MIT-licensed. Any developer can integrate for free. Arweave storage costs are minimal.

How does consent work?

Every access requires a ConsentToken — cryptographically signed by the BEO holder. You define scope, time limits, and can revoke at any time.

Can I integrate with existing systems (FHIR, HL7)?

Yes. BSP was designed to interoperate with existing standards. Our Exchange API translates between formats natively.

BSP is maintained by the Ambrósio Institute and community-governed through BIPs (BSP Improvement Proposals). Anyone can propose changes.
