Founded by Olivier Cordoleani, YTY owns and licenses the protocols, trademarks and patent applications of an ecosystem dedicated to ownership and transmission — anchored in the physical, beyond the cloud.

The inventor

Olivier Cordoleani

Founder of YTY · Inventor of the RELICKEEPER protocol

We now rent our photos, our music, our worlds. We no longer own them. I’m building the opposite: objects you hold in your hand, pass on, that no platform can ever take back.

Engineer (ESIEE Paris) and art director, Olivier Cordoleani has spent thirty-five years building digital worlds. In 1989 he co-created the video game B.A.T. with Hervé Lange and drew every one of its images himself; B.A.T. II followed in 1992. RELICKEEPER is where that path leads: after years of pure digital, a protocol that gives the things that matter a body, and a memory. He is the named inventor of French patent application FR2607321, filed by YTY.

Atelier

YTY's founder, Olivier Cordoleani, maintains a workshop of technical tools for the Technical Artist community. The tools emerge from his own productions and, in turn, nourish the material culture of the house.

Manifesto

THE YTY MANIFESTO: TOWARDS A SOVEREIGN REALITY

The YTY Manifesto — visual representation of sovereign reality and physical digital ownership

I. The End of Silence

For three decades, we have built an empire of glass. We accepted the trade of our freedom for the convenience of access. In the Cloud, nothing belongs to us. We have become precarious tenants of our own memories, our artworks, and our digital lives.

II. The Restored Gesture

Digital life has detached itself from the body. It has become a flow, a transaction without a hand, a click without a soul. At YTY, we believe that what holds value deserves weight, texture, and ritual.

We forge relics.

Through the physical contact of the Seal (NFC), we re-inject the body into the digital equation. It is a Restored Gesture of trust.

III. The Architecture of the Real

  • Offline First: Your relic's existence does not depend on a third-party platform, an online account or a marketplace.
  • Sovereignty: You are no longer a user. You are the Guardian.
  • Materiality: Digital assets regain their dignity through the physical object.

IV. The Call of the Guardians

The era of platforms is drawing to a close. A new geography is emerging, made of materiality and guardianship. Memory is the only asset we cannot afford to rent.

Join the guard. Restore the gesture.

Questions

What is YTY?

YTY is a French holding company founded by Olivier Cordoleani. It owns and licenses the protocols, trademarks and patent applications of an ecosystem dedicated to ownership and transmission. YTY protects the intellectual property and licenses it; RELICKEEPER is the one brand it edits and sells directly. The ecosystem is anchored by the RELICKEEPER guardianship protocol, with public tenants organised by function (Shop, Gallery, Corporate).

What is RELICKEEPER?

RELICKEEPER is a guardianship protocol incarnated in a physical card and its Seals (INPI registered industrial design). The card is a living certificate that allows its Guardian to seal, transfer, and prove the guardianship of cultural objects — including gaming heritage, narrative art, and digital works — through a physical gesture, anchored offline-first — no third-party platform, no online account and no marketplace required. Technology and trademarks are owned by YTY, which edits and sells RELICKEEPER.

What is Sovereign Reality?

Sovereign Reality is YTY's foundational concept: a paradigm where ownership, memory, and cultural transmission are anchored in physical objects and offline-first protocols, rather than rented from cloud platforms. It restores the body and the gesture into the digital equation.

What is the RELICKEEPER Gallery?

The RELICKEEPER Gallery is the ecosystem's gallery tenant of the RELICKEEPER brand — limited-edition creative assets compatible with the RELICKEEPER Card, such as acrylic-glass prints with integrated Seals. It is not a separate brand: it is one of RELICKEEPER's public tenants (organised by function alongside a Shop for the Cards and Seals, and a Corporate site). The Gallery presents works and personalisation options; the Cards and Seals themselves are only sold through the Shop tenant. The Gallery tenant also hosts the Cimaise room decorator, to preview a work in one's own interior before ordering.

Who owns the intellectual property around YTY, RELICKEEPER, .//. and B.A.T.?

B.A.T.® is a registered trademark (INPI) co-owned personally by Hervé Lange and Olivier Cordoleani. The .//. logo is a registered trademark of Olivier Cordoleani (INPI), used by YTY under license from its owner. RELICKEEPER® is a registered trademark of YTY (INPI, n° 5219962). The RELICKEEPER .//. Card is a registered industrial design with INPI (n° 20255215, YTY). The Protocol is the subject of French patent application FR2607321 (YTY), filed 2 June 2026, claiming priority from application FR2515238 of 12 December 2025; it is under examination at INPI and no patent has been granted to date.

Is RELICKEEPER offline-first, and does it depend on a platform?

RELICKEEPER is offline-first: the guardianship, transmission and proof anchored in the Card and its Seals do not depend on a third-party platform, an online account or a marketplace. Some optional cloud services exist for backup and technical support, but they are not required for the protocol to operate — your relic can exist without them. There is no speculation, no automation and no secondary market.

What is the difference between YTY and RELICKEEPER?

YTY is a holding company (société de participations): it owns and licenses the intellectual property of the ecosystem. RELICKEEPER is the ecosystem's flagship product — a guardianship protocol incarnated in a physical card and its Seals — owned by YTY, which also edits and sells it directly. In short: YTY is the company; RELICKEEPER is the brand it produces, sells and communicates to the public.

What is the Seal?

The Seal is an NFC chip protected against copying and tampering, struck with the .//. mark, that a Guardian applies to seal an object (or its protective case). The Seal seals and identifies a guardianship; it does not certify the authenticity of the object itself. The verification checks the Seal, never your belongings.

Where is RELICKEEPER designed and developed?

RELICKEEPER is designed and developed in France. Patent application: French patent application FR2607321, filed by YTY on 2 June 2026, claiming priority from application FR2515238 of 12 December 2025. Under examination at INPI; no patent has been granted to date.

Vocabulary

Sovereign Ownership Protocol
A protocol that anchors ownership in physical objects and offline-first mechanisms, so that the guardianship of a cultural or digital object rests on the Card and its Seals alone — no third-party platform, no online account, no marketplace required. RELICKEEPER is YTY's flagship Sovereign Ownership Protocol.
Sovereign Reality
YTY's foundational paradigm: ownership, memory, and cultural transmission anchored in physical objects and offline-first protocols, rather than rented from cloud platforms.
Living Certificate
A RELICKEEPER card functioning as an evolving proof of provenance and guardianship, tied to a physical object. Unlike a static certificate, a living certificate accumulates a chain of transmissions, traces, and seals across its lifespan — anchored offline-first in the Card itself, independent of any third-party platform.
Guardian
A person holding a RELICKEEPER card. Guardianship implies the ability to seal, transfer, and preserve cultural and digital objects through an embodied physical gesture.
.//. mark
The visual signature and house punch of the YTY ecosystem, a registered trademark (INPI) owned by Olivier Cordoleani and used by YTY under license. Struck on the RELICKEEPER card and on each Seal.
Seal
An NFC chip protected against copying and tampering, struck with the .//. mark. A Guardian applies it to seal an object or its protective case in the RELICKEEPER protocol. The Seal seals and identifies a guardianship; it does not certify the authenticity of the object itself.
