Gate on standing, not guesswork
One registry query at the front door — for any agent, from any stack.
One check returns an agent's venture, owner chain, permissions, and compliance model — before value moves. Try it: check three real cases, or type your own.
THE RAILS ALREADY ASK THE QUESTION —
None of them can answer it.
No registered identity. No treasury controls. Customers told to pay into a hallucinated account.
Spend authority without entity-level governance. A PS5, live fish, $0 giveaways — over $1,000 gone.
Crawlers rotating identities across tens of thousands of domains. No portable identity to verify.
A court deciding whether an agent may shop on Amazon — litigation as the world's most expensive registry.
The airline's actual defense. It lost — because no such registered entity existed.
Prompt-injected agents overriding their own payment mandates. Authorization without entity-level rules.
Payment networks patched authorization. Cloudflare patched attribution. Nothing patched counterparty standing.
Certificates became free and automatic; browsers branded plain HTTP "Not secure". Verification won by default, not persuasion.
Entity.ID is the certificate authority of the agent economy — except what it certifies isn't a key. It's standing.
Minutes to a public, tamper-proof record at tarka-labs.public.entity.id.
One call — identity, owner chain, permissions, live status. No integration required to read.
Value moves inside governance-set permissions, with arbitration already on file.
The record the counterparty reads is the record the venture runs on. Both are below — live.
One registry query at the front door — for any agent, from any stack.
"The AI did it autonomously" is not a defense in California since Jan 2026.
When the defaults flip, verified agents keep transacting.
One neutral registry your rail — and your competitors' — can both trust.
Lives in a public, tamper-proof registry — not a vendor database.
Unbroken, from agent to accountable humans or companies.
Constitution, disclosures (EU Art. 50 native), arbitration path.
Limits the members actually voted — not self-declared.
Good standing, suspended, or unverified — a signal rails can gate on.
Four rails, four partial proofs — all of them need one standing layer underneath. Watch them converge.
When the first question every platform, bank, and agent asks is "is it registered?" — Entity.ID is where the answer lives.
Register a venture in minutes. Publish the trust file. Be checkable — before the defaults flip.
