focused on the local community.
For your city, these technologies have never been available in this form. Until now!
Now there is TALO. TALO changes the rules: AI that replaces no one, but supports every person by amplifying what they do best, and blockchain that does not speculate but transparently and securely records the value that stays in the community.
Every municipality, every public administration seeking to strengthen the local economy, now has an invisible ecosystem of tools โ payments, marketplaces, communication with citizens and businesses, and analysis โ that until recently were reserved for large cities with dedicated IT budgets.
A digital service for public administration.
Code anyone can verify. Bugs are discovered and fixed by the global community. No black box or industrial secrets hidden in the software.
No lock-in. The project outlasts any single supplier. Complete freedom to modify it. If Glifix closed tomorrow, the code would be yours, public on GitHub.
No licences. Free or with voluntary contributions to the community. No dependence on vendors that raise prices, change terms or leave the market.
Immediate usefulness
Useful services without credit โ e.g. loyalty card storage. No entry barrier. Users arrive for convenience and discover the rest.
Community and exchange
Second-hand marketplace, "clear out the cellar" sales and small services between individuals. Within statutory tax limits. The platform technically enforces compliance with the rules.
Merchants and businesses
Every electronic wallet transaction takes place on the private open source blockchain Hyperledger Fabric. Secure, immutable and without intermediaries.
In the user's hands: a complete wallet.
Inform the community
One electronic noticeboard combining three streams: official municipal announcements, merchant flyers and promotions, and local events and shows โ a single reference point alongside physical noticeboards, flyer distribution and scattered channels.
Sell together
A shared e-commerce marketplace and your own individual online shop. Mixed payment Euro + Wallet integrated natively.
Get noticed
Cross-visibility between participants and to outside audiences through shared marketing campaigns ๐.
Infrastructure for the whole city.
In your city, over half the population has an uncertain or sceptical relationship with digital technology. An app designed only for digital natives would reach barely a quarter of the population.

Familiarity is not guaranteed. This is where the true success of adoption across the city is decided.

The explicit audience for the story told in the video: they are convinced when someone close helps them.
Emergency button
One tap, rather than a call: in an emergency, you cannot expect someone to dial 117 and explain the situation. Immediate geolocation; if the user has given optional authorisation, verification also through cameras in the nearest area.
Courses and opportunities calendar
Municipal courses, training opportunities and support gathered in one always up-to-date calendar โ rather than flyers, newsletters and scattered website pages.
Events calendar with reminders
The municipality publishes the month's events; citizens choose: enable a reminder, book and take part โ all from the same calendar without leaving the app.
A channel for a growing area of expenditure.
In many municipalities, spending on older people's care and support has been among the fastest-growing budget items in recent years โ a structural trend linked to population ageing, rather than an isolated spike.
With the older person
Push notifications, events and municipal services โ a simple digital channel reaching people currently excluded from the municipality's online information flows.
With those providing care
Children, grandchildren and caregivers โ TALO can inform and involve those supporting older people in daily life, as well as older people themselves.
Community, beyond services
Local events, trusted shops and markets โ the same ecosystem that reconnects the community (shown in the video) directly helps counter isolation among older people.
TALO is a Progressive Web App: all the benefits of a simple web page combined with those of an installed app. No App Store to find, no heavy app to download โ it opens from a link or QR code and behaves like an app: installable with one tap, automatic updates without the store, and push notifications included. Wallet, search and geolocation still require a connection and personal account, as with any service handling real transactions.

Your network deserves
infrastructure that measures up.
TALO 4CITY is more than a payment system. It is your municipality's digital infrastructure โ built on certified, modular and scalable open source technology.
