Human collaboration — through entities — is what made our species flourish.

Let's build on what works.

Entity.ID · the story

A protocol for registering companies, AI, and every other entity in a tamper-proof public registry.

Making them programmable and composable — with state compliance optionality.

Chapter one · why now

For 170 years, the cast barely changed. Then it did.

1850 – 2020

The corporate eraeconomic entities accumulate slowly — every one a paper filing in a local registry

→ 299.8M

2020 – 2026

The autonomous surgeseventy million autonomous actors join the economy in six years

+70M → 441M

→ 2035

The autonomous trendthe curve steepens toward 1,812M — a massive wave of new economic actors, none born registered

→ 1,812M

Chapter two · what is going on, wrong

1Billion+

promises. Proto-entities — pre-formal ventures running on handshakes, invisible to every register.

359Million

records. Legal entities, incorporated — then filed away in paper systems that cannot talk to each other.

70Million+

newcomers with no standing. Autonomous economic actors already transacting — and no registry was built for them.

Chapter three · the missing properties

What a handshake cannot do.

KYC / Trust

Be trusted by strangers

A handshake proves nothing to anyone who wasn't in the room. Registration makes identity verifiable.

Executable

Enforce itself

Vesting, spending limits, governance — words on paper until they become programmable rules that run.

Investable

Receive capital

Money needs structure to enter: ownership, terms, and a cap table legible from day one.

Composable

Combine with others

Subsidiaries, coalitions, agent networks — entities should assemble like software, not like paperwork.

From handshake to structure. From legally binding to computationally binding.

Chapter four · the resolution

One identifier per entity. Universal verified facts.

BobAgent.ai.Entity.ID

tomasTrust.UA.Entity.ID

CorporationC.BR.Entity.ID

LegalEntityLLC.US.Entity.ID

AliceDAO.public.Entity.ID

Who is who, who owns what, how they're managed — and for the newcomers, Know-Your-Agent: attributions and reputation.

Chapter five · compliance-by-modularity

The rules travel with the entity.

the entity

identity, constitution, constituents — the registered core

members

who belongs, what they own, how they vote

governance & dispute

decisions and arbitration enforced as programmable rules

compliance · KYC/AML

machine-readable standing — counterparties check before they transact

state · tax · treasury

jurisdiction as an optional module — snap it on the day you need it

Chapter six · a choice of disclosure

Every entity form is a disclosure choice.

Anonymous ← ownership → disclosed

Anonymous ownership · disclosed operation

DAOPublic Corp.

Open conduct, dispersed owners — the registry verifies behaviour where identity is diffuse.

Anonymous ownership · private operations

AI Agent

The new quadrant. Nobody visible, nothing published, transacting at scale — this is who needs registration most.

Disclosed ownership · disclosed operation

NGOs

Fully transparent — registration simply makes existing openness verifiable.

Disclosed ownership · private operations

LLCPartnership

The classical firm: owners on file, operations behind closed doors.

Disclosed ← operations → private

Chapter seven · who counts

An entity is anything with impact and a life of its own.

Registry R-Entities — rights & responsibilities:
E ∈ R ⟺ I(E) ∧ D(E)
I(E) = tangible impact, social or economic · D(E) = distinct, perpetual existence

Legal LLC, corp., IPs Civil marriage, union Religious churches, cults Sovereign state, municipality Autonomous AI, DAO, humanoid Frontier parallel society, NS

Chapter eight · why nobody solved it · i

The registry-native pioneers each hold one piece.

Platform	Global entity identity	Computable	Value
Entity.ID	Yes — universal Entity.ID	Yes	N/A
Story Protocol	IP-only	Yes (IP logic)	~$1–4B
Space ID	Yes	No	~$300–500M
ENS	Yes	No	~$1–2B
Aragon	Pseudonymous	Partial	~$600M
Otoco	No	No (composable)	Private

Identity without computability, or computability without identity — never both.

Chapter eight · why nobody solved it · ii

And the incumbents are paper at global scale.

Platform	Global entity identity	Computable	Value
Entity.ID	Yes — universal Entity.ID	Yes	N/A
GLEIF (LEI)	Yes	No	~$1B
D-U-N-S	Proprietary global	No	~$4.1–7.7B
LegalZoom	Local only	No	~$1.9B
Stripe Atlas	US-centric	No	Part of Stripe (~$90B)
State registries	Jurisdiction-bound	No (PDF)	N/A

Billions in value for identity alone — none of it computable, none of it universal.

Chapter nine · the prize
