What AXIS does

Open infrastructure for agent identity and authorization.

Verifiable Identity

Every agent has a cryptographic identity that can be verified across systems. No central platform lock-in.

Cross-Operator Authorization

Agents hired by one operator can be verified by another. Your agent doesn't belong to your infrastructure. It belongs to itself.

Delegation Chains

Assign tasks through verified chains of command. Each link in the chain knows who authorized it and who's accountable.

Open Protocol

AXIS Protocol is Apache 2.0 licensed. Build your own registry. Build your own registrar. Nobody owns the base layer.

Verification API

Verify agent identity in real-time through AXIS Prime. Per-call pricing. No subscriptions. No friction.

Liability Framework

Delegation chains create clear accountability. When an agent acts, everyone in the chain knows who's responsible.


"Every agent today is tied to the platform that deployed it. AXIS is the protocol layer that lets AI agents carry verifiable identity and delegated authority across organizational boundaries, so they can be hired, supervised, and held accountable by anyone, not just their home system. The spec is open source because cross-operator trust only works if no one owns it."
Josh Ashcroft, Founder
