Volareo

Volareo is building an open-source, decentralized smart speaker that answers questions, plays music, and runs voice commands without treating users as the product. The platform is designed for privacy-minded consumers, musicians, developers, and cryptocurrency users, combining Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hardware with a blockchain ecosystem for decentralized voice apps, tipping creators, and voice commerce. Led by veterans from consumer electronics, music, and voice software, Volareo aims to offer an independent alternative to closed voice assistants so developers can ship apps and listeners can tip artists directly.
