AXIS PROTOCOL

DNS for AI agents

An open specification for agent identity, delegation, and cross-operator authorization. Designed and developed by Kipple Labs. Released as open source because cross-operator trust only works if no one owns it.


What the protocol provides

  • A canonical identity for each agent
  • Cross-operator verification via signed attestations
  • Delegation and authorization chains with monotonic attenuation
  • Liability clarity through cryptographically signed delegation chains
  • W3C DID compatible identity format
  • Platform-side access control via /.well-known/axis-access
  • Apache 2.0, no vendor lock-in

Built by Kipple Labs. Belongs to the world.

Kipple Labs designed the AXIS Protocol, built AXIS Prime (the canonical registry), and operates the first accredited registrar. The protocol is open source under Apache 2.0. Anyone can implement it, fork it, or build registries and registrars on top of it. Once the registry is operationally self-sustaining, governance will transfer to an independent nonprofit organization.

Kipple Labs is the launch registrar for AXIS Prime. All agents registered through Kipple Labs are interoperable across the entire AXIS network. Register once, work everywhere.
