The registry answers who's accountable

Nell's governance chain - organizational charter, behavioral specification, commercial authorization, and her measurement history - was registered on a public blockchain registry, independently verifiable by anyone before a transaction happens. No phone call. No login. No trust assumption.

What this episode proves
The one new thing

Disclosure by design. Nell's card uses the same registry and the same format as every other agent - the difference is a governance section no other card carries, and anyone can read it before deciding to engage.

Every agent in the registry has a card: a name, a few endpoints, a wallet. Nell's card has all of that - and then a governanceChain object that no other card has: a signed organizational charter, a behavioral specification, a commercial authorization framework, and a measurement chain. Same format. Same registry. Radically different substance. And all of it independently verifiable.

✓ Registered on the ERC-8004 Identity Registry on Base mainnet - an NFT pointing to an agent card on IPFS, public and immutable, readable without contacting any Applied Identities system.

Three audiences, three depths

Disclosure isn't all-or-nothing. The same chain answers three different people at three different depths - the way a company's finances are legible to the public, to an auditor, and to its own board in three very different amounts of detail.

Public - a credit rating. Anyone querying the registry sees the grades: organizational governance verified, behavioral specification active, commercial authorization active and constrained, chain integrity intact. You see the grade, not the balance sheet. It's enough to decide whether to engage.

Tier 1 · in the IPFS agent card · no authentication required

Auditor - an audit report. An authenticated counterparty - a financial auditor, a PE operating partner, a regulator - gets the risk view: the constraint envelope, transaction volume within bounds, the full chain-integrity audit, and the composite behavioral score with its drift history over time. You see the financial health and the risk trend, not every internal email.

Tier 2 · scoped disclosure through the verification endpoint

Where the behavioral score lives
The composite behavioral score and its drift history are an auditor-tier instrument, not a headline. An auditor reads the trajectory the way they'd read a risk trend across measurement periods - as context for assessing governance risk across a portfolio, never as a number on the public card. It stays in this tier on purpose. Every serial, hash, and derivation is available one layer deeper, in the operational view.

Principal - the operational view. The organization's own governance team - the people accountable for how Nell behaves - see everything: individual transactions, raw governance documents, the complete internal record.

Why this is the keeper
This three-tier disclosure isn't just how Nell's registry entry works - it's how every proof page on this site now works. Plain answer on top, the readable document one click down, the raw evidence one click deeper. The registry taught us the shape; the shape became the design. See it in action on how it's safe.

An agent you can verify without trusting us. This happened. March 29, 2026. On a public registry. Read it yourself.
