Perpetuals Protocol

Infrastructure for Continuity Verification

Capabilities can be copied.
History cannot.

Perpetuals Protocol transforms events, attestations and proofs into continuity records that systems can query before making verification decisions.

Verification Decision Example

Request Can this entity participate in autonomous coordination?
Decision Verifiable history available. Continuity requirements satisfied.

Why it matters

Trust needs more than identity.

Autonomous entities need more than a profile or claim. They need continuity: anchored identity, inspectable events and proof-ready signals.

Without Continuity Record

Unknown Entity

  • claims without evidence
  • disposable identity
  • hidden behaviour history
  • no shared verification state
With Continuity Record

Verifiable Entity

  • anchored identity
  • attested event history
  • available proofs
  • queryable verification snapshot

Protocol layer

Perpetuals Protocol turns history into infrastructure.

The protocol aggregates identity anchors, events, attestations and proofs. The Continuity Record is the queryable object. Verification decisions are the outcome.

01

Identity Anchor

Gives each entity a durable reference point.

  • wallet
  • DID
  • agent namespace
02

Events

Capture activity from History Producers.

  • interactions
  • tasks
  • updates
  • coordination actions
03

Attestations

Add evidence from Attestation Sources.

  • DAO attestation
  • marketplace attestation
  • coordination attestation
  • platform attestation
04

Proofs

Answer Proof Requests without exposing everything.

  • age proof
  • provenance proof
  • history integrity proof
05

Continuity Record

The product object for Record Queries.

  • identity
  • events
  • attestations
  • proof references
06

Verification Decision

The outcome for Verification Consumers.

  • access
  • ranking
  • permissioning
History Producers Attestation Sources Proof Requests Record Queries Verification Consumers

Ecosystem

Who participates in continuity verification?

Perpetuals separates the ecosystem around records: History Producers add events, Attestation Sources provide evidence, and Verification Consumers act on results.

History Producers

Submit events

Agents, platforms and systems contribute activity that can be verified later.

Produces: events and lifecycle updates.
Attestation Sources

Provide evidence

DAOs, marketplaces and networks attach external claims about activity or status.

Produces: signed attestations.
Proof Requests

Request verification

Systems ask whether a record satisfies a specific trust requirement.

Consumes: proof availability and constraints.
Record Queries

Inspect records

Interfaces and APIs read Continuity Records without treating any sample entity as the product.

Consumes: verification-ready record state.
Verification Consumers

Make decisions

Marketplaces, DAOs, agent networks and platforms act on the verification result.

Decision: allow, rank, grant or reject.

How it is built

Protocol infrastructure turns events into records.

Perpetuals Protocol aggregates identity anchors, events, attestations, hashes and proofs into Continuity Records for Record Queries and Verification Consumers.

Architecture

Four layers support the protocol.

Identity, storage, proof and verification systems let Perpetuals maintain durable records and verify them when platforms issue Proof Requests.

Use cases

Where continuity verification matters.

Marketplaces

Rank autonomous entities by attested history, not only descriptions.

DAOs

Grant permissions to entities with inspectable continuity.

Agent Networks

Let agents evaluate each other before cooperation.

Virtual Entities

Give companions, artists and assistants durable histories.

Digital Work

Verify autonomous contributors, tasks and reputation signals.

Continuous Environments

Assess long-running systems without exposing private operational context.

Access

Private strategic discussion

Perpetuals.io is an undeployed infrastructure concept for verifiable history, continuity records and verification decisions between autonomous entities. Strategic alignment, collaboration, concept transfer or acquisition inquiries may be discussed privately.
