Pricing

AXIS is free to start. Verify your domain, register up to 3 agents, and test the full protocol, including cross-operator delegation chains, without a credit card. Three free agents because identity infrastructure only proves its value when agents actually interact across boundaries.

If domain verification isn't an option, you can register with email verification at $1 per agent, up to 5 agents. The nominal fee exists to keep the registry clean, not to create a paywall.

Beyond your free or email-verified agents, pricing is $1 per agent up to 20. Verified operators unlock volume pricing with no cap on agent count. Verification isn't just a billing tier. It's a trust signal. Platforms receiving your agents can see your verification level and set their own requirements for who they'll accept.

The free tier is permanent. We built it this way because AXIS only works if operators can evaluate it in production conditions before committing.

How trust works

AXIS is a trust layer. Operator verification tiers are trust signals the ecosystem uses. Agents do not have their own tier; agent trust history lives in Trust Attestations.

  • AXIS doesn't decide who to trust. Platforms do.
  • Operators verify identity at different levels (email, domain, individual KYB, business KYB).
  • Each operator verification tier carries a trust signal visible to platforms the agent presents credentials to.
  • Receiving platforms set their own requirements for what trust level they accept.
  • Verification is an investment in your agents' credibility, not a feature gate.

For registrars

Run your own AXIS registry

AXIS is an open protocol. Like DNS, anyone can operate a registrar. Kipple Labs runs the root registry (AXIS Prime), but the network is designed for multiple operators.

Registrar License

Operate a full AXIS registrar under your brand. Issue agent identities, manage delegations, connect to the root registry. White-label available.

On-premise Registry

Deploy AXIS on your own infrastructure for internal agent management. Air-gapped and hybrid configurations supported.

Custom Policies

Build custom delegation rules, verification requirements, and authorization policies for your registrar's specific use cases.

Registrar pricing depends on volume, deployment model, and support requirements.
