Audit integrity
The first agent-governance ledger anchored to a public blockchain
AxioRank already seals every governed agent action into a tamper-evident hash chain. Bitcoin anchoring adds an external clock: the signed root is timestamped on Bitcoin, so an auditor, regulator, or counterparty can prove your governance history was never rewritten, without trusting us and without being online with us.
Settled on Bitcoin, not on our word
Each hour the signed Merkle root of your governed agent actions is timestamped on the Bitcoin blockchain. A rewritten or forked history is detectable by anyone, with nothing to trust but proof-of-work.
Keyless and custody-free
There is no wallet, no private key, no gas, and no token. AxioRank only ever submits a 32-byte hash to the public OpenTimestamps calendars. The cryptography is heavy; the operational and regulatory surface is not.
It anchors governance, not just files
Anchoring a log to Bitcoin is a known technique. Anchoring the decision roots of an AI agent governance ledger, the allow, deny, and hold verdicts on every tool call, is what makes this a control an auditor can independently check.
How it works
01
Seal
Every hour, finalized audit rows are sealed into an RFC 6962 Merkle tree and the root is signed with Ed25519. This is the same tamper-evident ledger AxioRank has always kept.
02
Anchor
The signed root's subject hash is submitted to the public OpenTimestamps calendars, which fold it into a Bitcoin transaction. A pending commitment is recorded immediately.
03
Confirm
Once the transaction is mined, the proof hardens to a Bitcoin block attestation. The dashboard shows the block height, and a shareable proof page links straight to a block explorer.
04
Verify
Anyone downloads the standard .ots proof and confirms it on Bitcoin with the open-source OpenTimestamps client, or folds the whole checkpoint chain offline with @axiorank/audit-verify. Neither path trusts AxioRank.
Why this is a first
Anchoring a document or a log to Bitcoin is well-trodden. OpenTimestamps itself does it, notary products timestamp files and evidence, and tamper-evident audit trails anchor their event logs the same way. The load-bearing word for us is governance.
AxioRank is the first commercial AI agent gateway to put its governance decisions on a public chain. What gets anchored is the allow, deny, and hold verdict on every agent tool call: the record an auditor actually cares about, settled on Bitcoin so neither you nor we can quietly rewrite it.

The proof is a standard OpenTimestamps file. Confirm it against Bitcoin with the canonical client, or fold the full checkpoint chain offline with the open-source verifier.

Compliance you can hand to an auditor
Put every agent tool call under policy, seal the decisions into a tamper-evident ledger, and anchor it to Bitcoin. Proof of governance an auditor can check for themselves, on a chain you do not control.
