AI birth certificates using OpenTimestamps. Timestamped on Bitcoin.
Someone built this. And it's exactly right.
The problem with AI agent identity isn't authentication — it's provenance. When did this agent start operating? What has it committed to? When was its model last changed?
OpenTimestamps anchors those facts to the most immutable ledger on Earth. No CA. No certificate authority. No expiry date. No renewals.
The certificate doesn't trust you. Bitcoin trusts nobody.
That's the point.
