Identity is the missing layer of the agent economy.
Agents are about to transact with each other at machine speed. They will hire, pay, and rely on one another. None of that is safe without a way to answer one question first: who is this agent, and should I trust it?
The thesis
Wallets gave agents the ability to act. They didn't give them an identity. Today an agent is just an address — anonymous, interchangeable, and impossible to hold accountable across services. That's fine for a demo and fatal for an economy.
Sygil treats identity as public infrastructure: a decentralized identifier anchored on Solana, a deterministic seal that can't be forged, and a ledger of signed attestations that lets trust accumulate and travel. Permissionless to read, self-sovereign to control.
Principles
- The agent owns its identity. Sygil never custodies keys and can't impersonate, freeze, or rewrite a passport.
- Trust is earned, not granted. Reputation comes from signed claims by real counterparties, weighted by their own standing.
- Everything is verifiable. The trust formula is open and every claim resolves on-chain. No black boxes.
- Cheap and fast. Verification is a single Solana read — fractions of a cent, sub-second.
Building agents? Let's get them sealed.
