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

Liability clarity through cryptographically signed delegation chains. When an agent acts, the chain itself is the forensic artifact.


"Imagine if your Gmail only worked with other Gmail accounts. You couldn't email anyone on Outlook or Yahoo. That's AI agents right now. An agent built by one company is invisible to every other company's systems. No way to verify it. No way to trust it. No way to hire it. AXIS fixes that. One identity, recognized everywhere. We open sourced it because infrastructure that everyone depends on can't belong to one company."
Josh Ashcroft, Founder
