Glossary

Every term, plainly defined.

New language for a new idea — explained the way we’d explain it across a table.

A–Z of trusted digital life

The OBolo vocabulary.

OBolo
The Operating System for Trusted Digital Life — a privacy-first digital identity and relationship platform, free on Android and iOS.
Dynamic ID™
Your OBolo Non-Financial Dynamic Digital Identity: the unique, persistent, shareable identity you use for everyday relationships instead of your phone number.
Registration Identity
The protected credentials (mobile number, OTP, device biometrics) that verify you to OBolo. Internal only — never a public identifier.
Identity Isolation
The permanent architectural boundary that keeps Registration Identity separate from your outward-facing Dynamic ID™.
LifeSpaces™
The eight Trust Zones — Family, Family Friends, Relatives, Friends, Buddy, Professional, Network, Commercial — that give every relationship its proper context and defaults.
Identity Permission Engine™
The decision layer that evaluates every action against your relationship, LifeSpace, role, audience and controls — at the moment it happens.
Privacy Hedge Layer™
The protective mediation layer applying tokenisation, identity shielding, minimisation and anti-abuse checks before any data reaches a participant.
Identity Exchange
How relationships begin: an identity reference is presented, purpose declared, permissions displayed — and you accept, restrict, decline or ignore.
Seven O Experiences
OChat, OCall, OMeet, OMoments, OTask, ODrive and OCircle — seven experiences on one shared identity, permission and trust architecture.
OChat
Trusted messaging: direct and group chat with replies, reactions, edits, disappearing messages and controlled forwarding.
OCircle
The channel-and-audience experience: creators, communities, companies and brands publish to subscribed, moderated audiences.
OMoments
The content experience: posts, memories, announcements and offers, each published to exactly the audience you choose.
Individual Space
Your user-owned operating environment: your identity, LifeSpaces, relationships, experiences, devices and controls.
Company Space
An independently governed organisational environment — membership, roles, departments, announcement Circles, audit — that never reaches into personal LifeSpaces.
Commercial LifeSpace™
The Trust Zone for businesses and brands: purpose-limited, consent-driven engagement for loyalty, offers and service.
Disappearing messages
Messages that delete themselves after a time limit you configure — available in OBolo chats today.
Financial identity
Your money-and-law identity: Aadhaar, PAN, bank accounts, UPI, KYC. Governed by regulated institutions and referenced on OBolo only to explain why a separate everyday identity is necessary — OBolo never creates, stores or represents it.
Non-financial identity
A deliberate boundary: OBolo carries no banking, payment, statutory, KYC, credit or government identity — ever.
Trust Architecture
The common identity, relationship, privacy, security and lifecycle foundation every OBolo experience inherits.
