By 2030 there will be more agents than humans transacting on the internet. They will sign contracts, move funds, call tools, hire each other, and revoke each other's permissions — at machine speed.
And almost none of them will have a real identity.
Today's agents borrow OAuth tokens. They re-use API keys. They wrap themselves in opaque session strings minted by whichever vendor is currently hosting them. None of this survives the first cryptographically relevant quantum computer. None of it survives the agent outliving its parent company. None of it is portable across runtimes.
— Position
An agent without a portable, verifiable, post-quantum identity is not an agent. It is a session. Sessions die. Identities don't.
— Design
We chose ENS because the resolver ecosystem already exists. We chose Dilithium-3 because NIST standardized it. We chose quantum entropy because randomness must be auditable, not just claimed. We chose subnames under qguid.eth because honest naming beats marketing.
— Promise
Every QGUID issued today will resolve in 2055. The signature scheme will rotate. The resolver document will evolve. The name will not change. The identity will not break.
— Invitation
If you're building agents, fleets, or any system that needs to outlive its first vendor, claim a name. If you're building wallets, frameworks, or resolvers, ours is open and ENS-compatible. If you disagree, write back. We will read it.
