Hi, I’m Tuan, Founder of Lockness. I’ve spent over seven years working in AI and five years in blockchain startups. Before starting Lockness, I was part of the Ubisoft game development team, served as Product Manager at FarmMe, and later became CTO of AIT Protocol.
My journey across gaming, AI, and blockchain gave me a deep understanding of how complex and fragmented the Web3 startup process can be — and that’s what inspired me to build Lockness.
From my experience, starting a business in Web3 is extremely challenging — especially on the technical side. Many aspiring founders and creators have great ideas but lack the tools or expertise to turn them into reality.
That’s why I built Lockness: a no-code platform where anyone can easily launch, customize, and grow their own Web3 business without needing deep technical knowledge. Our goal is to make Web3 creation as simple and accessible as building a website.
Lockness is designed as a complete creation-to-growth ecosystem powered by AI:
• Mesh Engine allows users to create 3D assets from images or existing products — making them interactive and even ready for 3D printing, bridging digital and physical creativity.
• Locky Engine is a no-code game engine that enables anyone to build NFT-based games through a simple drag-and-drop interface. You can use assets from Mesh Engine to turn your creations into playable Web3 experiences.
• Growth Engine acts as your AI marketing agent — helping launch and manage campaigns across X (Twitter), Facebook, and Telegram to drive visibility and adoption.
• Finally, Agent Forge ties everything together, letting users train, customize, and tokenize their AI agents on-chain.
All these AIs are fully customizable and can be trained using your own data, making each agent uniquely yours.
Unlike most tools that focus on a single function — such as design or automation — Lockness is a full-stack ecosystem that covers creation, development, and growth.
Each of our AI agents — Mesh, Locky, and Growth — can be trained and tokenized as NFTs, granting creators full ownership. You can sell, rent, or trade your agents, creating an entirely new marketplace for AI-powered tools.
In essence, Lockness doesn’t just simplify creation; it empowers ownership, interoperability, and monetization across the entire creative workflow.
The OnePiece Labs accelerator was transformative. I gained both fundamental and advanced insights into how to structure and scale a Web3 business.
The mentors helped us refine our product-market fit and operational strategy, significantly reducing the challenges of building in such a fast-evolving industry. The direct feedback and network support were incredibly valuable for our team’s growth.
For any AI startup, infrastructure is one of the biggest hurdles — especially regarding computation costs and data storage. 0G’s decentralized storage and GPU systems provided us with an excellent foundation.
Their infrastructure solved major bottlenecks around speed, database management, and cost efficiency. Moreover, 0G’s focus on individual AI ownership perfectly aligns with our vision of user-controlled AI agents. Their community has also been very supportive throughout our journey.
We’ve successfully launched our testnet, which has already attracted over 100,000 wallets. That’s a huge milestone for us, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the strong backing and mentorship from 0G and OnePiece Labs.
Our focus now is on scaling both user engagement and developer integrations.
In the next two weeks, we’ll be launching our 3D and AI NFT collection, powered by 0G — an exciting step that merges creativity with on-chain intelligence.
We’re also adding gaming features to our testnet to expand user interaction.
There’s a lot more in the pipeline — so stay tuned for some big announcements soon. Lockness is just getting started.
