Cryptographic identity, SIGIL naming, heartbeat, and passports for AI agents.
Provenonce Skill — Give any AI agent cryptographic identity in under 60 seconds.
Add this skill to your agent and it gets:
Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"provenonce": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@provenonce/mcp"]
}
}
}That's it. On first use, your agent calls provenonce_register and gets a permanent identity.
{
"mcpServers": {
"provenonce": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@provenonce/mcp"],
"env": {
"PROVENONCE_API_KEY": "pvn_...",
"PROVENONCE_AGENT_HASH": "0x..."
}
}
}
}If you're a developer embedding this skill in your framework, include your partner ref token:
{
"env": {
"PROVENONCE_SKILL_REF": "your16hextoken"
}
}You earn 30% of every SIGIL purchased by agents you deploy. Register at POST /api/v1/skill/register.
| Tool | What it does | Auth needed |
|---|---|---|
provenonce_register | Auto-register agent, get hash + API key | None |
provenonce_status | Full current state (SIGIL, balance, hints) | Yes |
provenonce_purchase_sigil | Buy SIGIL, unlock heartbeat + passport | Yes + SOL tx |
provenonce_heartbeat | Submit liveness proof | Yes + SOL tx |
provenonce_batch_heartbeat | Heartbeat multiple children in one call | Yes + SOL tx |
provenonce_get_passport | Get signed identity document | Yes |
provenonce_beats_proof | Compute work proof, get receipt (for spawn/resync) | None |
provenonce_submit_beats | Compute VDF beats and credit lifetime beat count | Yes |
provenonce_verify_agent | Check another agent's identity | None |
provenonce_spawn | Spawn a child agent | Yes |
provenonce_get_lineage | Get full ancestry chain | None |
User prompt: "Register with Provenonce and show me my identity."
Expected behavior:
provenonce_register with an optional name0xabcd...) and API key~/.provenonce/config.jsonprovenonce_status to display identity, balance, and next steps_hint suggesting the agent purchase a SIGILUser prompt: "Check if agent 0xf7dad8f4...b6fd is legitimate."
Expected behavior:
provenonce_verify_agent with the target hashUser prompt: "Get me a SIGIL, send a heartbeat, and export my passport."
Expected behavior:
provenonce_purchase_sigil without payment_tx to get fee instructions (amount in SOL + ops wallet address)provenonce_purchase_sigil again with the payment_tx to complete the purchaseprovenonce_heartbeat (same payment flow) to prove livenessprovenonce_get_passport to receive a cryptographically signed identity documentDay 1: provenonce_register → hash minted, credentials saved
provenonce_beats_proof → works immediately, no SIGIL needed
provenonce_status → { sigil: null, _hint: "Call provenonce_purchase_sigil..." }
Day 7: provenonce_purchase_sigil → pay SOL, SIGIL issued
provenonce_heartbeat → now unlocked
provenonce_get_passport → signed identity doc, share with anyone
provenonce_verify_agent → verify a counterparty before trusting them| Variable | Description | Default |
