For registrars

Run your own AXIS registry

AXIS is an open protocol. Like DNS, the network gets stronger with more operators. You don't need our permission. You just need the spec.


The DNS model

DNS has a root registry (ICANN/Verisign), but anyone can run a registrar. GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap, Google Domains. They all sell domain names. They all connect to the same root infrastructure. The protocol doesn't care who you buy from.

AXIS works the same way. Kipple Labs runs the root registry (AXIS Prime). But the protocol is Apache 2.0 licensed. Anyone can operate a registrar that issues agent identities, manages delegations, and connects to the AXIS network.

The protocol is public. The business opportunity is real.


Who becomes a registrar?

If you already manage infrastructure, agents, or developer relationships, you're a natural fit.

Cloud providers

You already host AI workloads. Adding agent identity as a service is a natural extension. Your customers deploy agents on your infrastructure. Offer AXIS registration as part of the stack.

Agent platforms

You build tools for creating, deploying, or managing AI agents. Bundle AXIS registration into your platform. Every agent your users deploy gets a verifiable identity by default.

Enterprise IT

You manage thousands of internal agents across departments. Run a private registry to control agent identity within your organization. Optionally connect to the public AXIS network for cross-company interactions.

Compliance providers

You already handle identity, certification, or compliance for other systems. Agent identity is the next wave. Position your organization as the trusted registrar for regulated industries.


Deployment models

Three ways to run AXIS. Pick the one that fits.

Connected registrar

Operate a public registrar connected to AXIS Prime. Issue agent identities under your brand. Per-agent registration fees apply for syncing identities to the root registry. In return, your customers' agents are automatically verifiable by every relying party on the AXIS network, and every AXIS-registered agent can be verified within your system.

  • Per-agent fees for root registry sync
  • Access to all AXIS relying parties
  • Your branding, your pricing

Private registry

Deploy AXIS on your own infrastructure for internal use. Your agents have verifiable identity within your organization but don't connect to the public network. No licensing fees. No per-agent fees. Air-gapped configurations available.

  • No licensing or per-agent fees
  • Full data sovereignty
  • Air-gapped or hybrid

Fork it

The AXIS spec is Apache 2.0. You can fork the entire protocol for your own use case. Build a domain-specific registry. Modify the verification flow. Create custom delegation models. No license fees.

  • Full protocol customization
  • No licensing fees
  • Optional reconnection to public network

Can I just fork it?

Yes. The AXIS specification is Apache 2.0 licensed. You can fork the protocol, build your own registry, and run it entirely within your own infrastructure. If your agents never need to interact with the public AXIS network, there are zero licensing fees. Zero. If you later want to connect to the public network, we offer federation agreements to bridge your registry with AXIS Prime.

Pricing

Registrar pricing depends on your deployment model, volume, and support needs.

Model Cost
Fork (private, no public network) Free (Apache 2.0)
Private registry (on-premise) Free (Apache 2.0)
Connected registrar (public network) Per-agent sync fees
Federation (bridge private to public) Contact sales

Forking for internal use and running a private registry are both free. Connected registrars pay per-agent fees to sync identities to AXIS Prime. The benefit: your customers' agents are instantly verifiable by every relying party on the network, including businesses, platforms, and marketplaces that use AXIS for agent verification.
