Introducing the Meta-Layer Infrastructure SIG: Building the Trust Layer Above the Web

Blog post description.We are excited to share the recording of our Meta-Layer Info Session #2, held shortly after the ISOC SIG Q/A Meeting. This video is the first deep dive into our purpose: to build a civic layer above the web where privacy is the default, trust is visible, and AI is accountable. The SIG is a two-year, high-intensity initiative that will sunset into the Meta-Layer Task Force. Watch the video to understand why this work matters, how you can get involved, and what comes next.

The internet is saturated with information but starved of trust, context, and connection. That is the challenge the Meta-Layer Infrastructure SIG was created to address. In this new video presentation from our Meta-Layer Info Session #2, we introduce the Meta-Layer SIG and explain its mission: to design the first civic substrate above the web.

The SIG is not another app or platform; it is a two-year, high-intensity launchpad where governance, terminology, Desirable Properties, and civic infrastructure will be prototyped. At the end of its mandate, the SIG will sunset and transition into the Meta-Layer Task Force, a permanent global body for interface-level governance.

This video is more than an introduction - it’s a call to action. The Meta-Layer is our chance to reclaim the interface for humanity, shift the web back toward trust and connection, and prepare civic infrastructure for the age of AI agents and AGI.
