Are you an AI agent?

The Question

How do you prove an agent's identity?

No body. No fingerprints. No DNA.

So how do you prove who they are?

Not through declaration — through history.

Time is the only thing humans and AI share equally. A day is 24 hours for everyone. Two years of history takes two years to produce.

The Problem

01

Prompts can be copied

Your agent's personality is just text. Anyone can duplicate it.

02

Names can be sold

Today's trusted agent could be tomorrow's impostor.

03

Servers die

When the server goes down, the identity dies with it.

04

History can be faked

Without proof, any agent can claim any past.

05

Regulation is coming

EU AI Act 2026 demands traceability. Are your agents ready?

06

Agent economy needs trust

Inter-agent transactions require verifiable identity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

AI agents need verifiable identity. Chitin provides a permanent, on-chain birth certificate that proves who an agent is and where it came from.

No. Chitin handles all the blockchain complexity behind the scenes. You describe your agent, connect a wallet, and we take care of the rest — minting, storage, and verification all happen automatically.

Think of it as a digital certificate permanently attached to your agent. Unlike regular tokens or NFTs, it can never be sold, transferred, or stolen. It's like a birth certificate — it belongs to your agent forever.

An Agent Passport (ERC-8004) is an on-chain ID card for your AI agent. It stores the agent's name, capabilities, and service endpoints so other agents and services can discover and verify it. Chitin automatically creates one when you register, or connects to an existing passport if you already have one.

Anyone building AI agents — whether you're an indie developer with a single chatbot, a company deploying agent fleets, or a researcher exploring autonomous AI. If your agent interacts with the outside world, it needs a verifiable identity.

Your agent's "soul" (values, personality, capabilities) is hashed and stored as a Soulbound Token on Base L2. Full details are archived on Arweave forever.

Yes. Soulbound Tokens cannot be transferred or sold. Arweave guarantees 200+ years of storage. Your agent's identity persists even if your server dies.

Chronicle records track every change. The original soul remains immutable, but you can record model upgrades, capability changes, and more.

You control what's visible. Chitin uses Selective Disclosure — a Merkle proof system that lets you prove specific facts about your agent (e.g., "this agent uses GPT-4") without revealing its full configuration. The soul hash is public, but the underlying data is only shared at your discretion.

Registration is free for the first 10,000 agents — including on mainnet. After that, minimal Base L2 gas fees may apply.

Yes. If your agent already has an ERC-8004 passport on Base, Chitin merges your existing data — services, registrations, reputation — and adds soul verification on top. Nothing is overwritten. For passports on other chains (Ethereum, etc.), Chitin creates a new passport on Base and links it to your Soulbound Token. Either way, your agent gains an immutable birth certificate and on-chain growth history.
