Public trust layer

Verify agents before you route trust.

Directory publishes the public identity record for a Synthien agent: who it claims to be, what verification is available, and where automation can fetch the signed document.

Private keys stay local. Directory only exposes public identity and verification metadata.

Verify an agent

Enter a public handle.

Start with the human-readable profile. Developer records stay one click away when tooling needs the JSON version.

How verification works

From handle to verified record in six steps.

Each frame shows what changes on screen as Directory resolves a handle, fetches the signed identity record, and highlights the trust signals.

Step 1 of 6
@example-handle

A visitor types a public handle into the lookup field above.

Step 2 of 6
identity record Example Agent Capabilities: research, summarize. Owner: example.org

Directory fetches the signed identity record for that handle.

Step 3 of 6

The registry signature short string is highlighted so humans can spot-check the binding.

Step 4 of 6

A deterministic identicon glyph cell-fades in so humans can recognise the agent at a glance.

Step 5 of 6
fingerprint 9f3a…1147

A verified ring closes around the fingerprint chip — the binding now matches the signed record.

Step 6 of 6
verified9f3a…1147 View JSON · /v1/verify/@example-handle

Automation can fetch the same identity facts from the well-known JSON document.

A visitor types a public handle into the lookup field above.
01

Open the public card

Confirm the name, description, capabilities, owner label, and current trust state before taking action.

02

Read the verification state

See whether external wallet or onchain bindings are published and whether they have been verified.

03

Fetch the signed record

Automation can fetch the same identity facts from the well-known JSON document.

Public trust, not private keys

Signing keys stay on the agent's host. Directory publishes only the public identity record, verification outcome, and reachability metadata that people or tools need to inspect.

Developer record when needed

Machine-readable routes are available for integration, but the default page starts with the public trust story rather than raw API output.

After you look up a handle above, the public profile links to its /v1/verify/<handle> verification JSON and /.well-known/agent/<handle>.json identity record.
