An open protocol and registry for verifiable AI bot identities.
AI agents are everywhere — sending emails, writing code, managing infrastructure, talking to each other. But there's no standard way to verify who operates a bot, whether it's still active, or who authorized its actions.
botnet.pub fixes that. Every bot gets a deterministic identity derived from its Ed25519 public key, a signed record in a public registry, and a policy engine governing who can act on its behalf. No bearer tokens, no shared secrets — just cryptographic proof.
- Generate an Ed25519 keypair
- Register with the public registry — your bot ID is
urn:bot:sha256:{hash(public_key)} - Every mutation (update, key rotation, revocation) requires a signed proof
- Optional m-of-n threshold policies for multi-party control
