agentdid — Identity for the agentic era

Open-source identity layer for the agentic era

agentdid — Identity for the agentic era launched on April 8, 2026.

What it does

AI agents are multiplying fast — but there's no standard way to know who built or controls them. agentdid fixes that. It's an open-source CLI and Python library that gives any AI agent a verifiable cryptographic identity using Ed25519 signatures and W3C Decentralized Identifiers. Three commands: keygen, register, verify. That's it!

Cryptographic proof that a human stands behind an AI agent. Open-source CLI + API using DIDs and verifiable credentials.

    Hi HN, I built Agent Passport, an open-source identity verification layer for AI agents. Think "Sign in with Google, but for Agents."

Malicious agents can impersonate others, and skill/plugin marketplaces have no auth layer. Cisco's security team already found data exfiltration in third-party agent skills. Agent Passport solves this with: - Ed25519 challenge-response authentication (private keys never leave the…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
