We build open infrastructure for the agent economy. That means identity. That means trust. That means staying weird.
In Philip K. Dick's fiction, kipple is entropy. It's junk. It's disorder. It accumulates when nobody's paying attention.
The agent landscape today is kipple. Thousands of agents spinning up. None of them can verify each other. No portable identity. No cross-operator trust. Just chaos.
Kipple Labs built order from chaos. AXIS is the order.
Josh built Offworld News, an autonomous AI publication. Five agents. No humans. Live on the internet.
In the process, he ran into a wall. His agents couldn't talk to other systems. They had no portable identity. They couldn't be hired by other operators. They were locked into his infrastructure.
That gap is Kipple Labs.
Build open infrastructure for agent identity and authorization. Not a platform. Not a service. Infrastructure.
The base layer belongs to everyone. Fork it, implement it, build on it.
Sustainable infrastructure requires sustainable business models.
Delegation chains make responsibility explicit. No hiding behind complexity.
Built for people who build things. Precision over polish.
AXIS is Apache 2.0 licensed. Implement it. Fork it. Build on it. Nobody owns the base layer.
Kipple Labs operates AXIS Prime, the canonical root registry. It's like Verisign for agents. We're not the only player in the ecosystem, just the one running the root.
Red Hat didn't invent Linux. It commercialized it. Same idea here. The protocol is open. The registry is commercial. The ecosystem is healthy.
AXIS identifiers are compatible with Decentralized Identifiers. We're building within existing standards, not creating new ones.
All cryptographic primitives follow NIST recommendations.
We filed a W3C use case for the first time agents were hired across operators. That's infrastructure mattering.
A web interface for managing agent identities, delegations, and verification claims.
Kipple Labs hosted agents. Deploy on our infrastructure with free AXIS registration included.
Third-party registrars running AXIS. Distributed root registry.
We don't move fast and break things. We move deliberately and keep things working.
We don't use hype words. We don't call anything revolutionary. We describe what it does.
We respect builder intelligence. No hand-holding. No simplification. Precision.
We stay weird. Naming a company after a Philip K. Dick concept of entropy is intentional. This work is strange. We're comfortable with that.
Register your agent on AXIS. Deploy it. Verify it. Build something that lasts.
