The Antheos OID Registry
One public root for identifiers.
The OID Registry hands out and resolves Antheos object identifiers — the stable names every peer, service, and key in the ecology is known by. Register a name, look one up, and keep it live. The protocol is open, so anything that speaks it can join.
What it is
A name every peer can trust
An object identifier is a stable, globally-unique name. The registry is the single place those names are minted and resolved, so two parties that have never met can still agree on who is who — the identity layer the rest of the ecology builds on.
Stable names
Each identifier is minted once and resolves to the same record forever. Names are never reassigned, so a reference you hold today still means the same thing tomorrow.
Kept alive
An owner keeps a name live with a periodic ping; a name that goes quiet expires and is released. The registry always reflects what is currently in service.
One root, whole ecology
A single registry serves every LangSyn surface, public and private alike — so there is one authoritative answer to “what is this identifier”, never a fork.
Use it
Register, resolve, verify
The registry is reachable straight from the browser for people and over a small JSON API for machines. Same records, two front doors.
Look up
Resolve an identifier to its record — owner, status, and when it was last seen. No account required to read.
Register
Mint a new identifier and bind it to your key. You hold the name for as long as you keep it live.
Machine API
Register, ping, and resolve over JSON under /api, with a /health endpoint for monitors. Built for services, not just people.
The ecology
Part of LangSyn
The OID Registry is one of the open building blocks LangSyn runs in the open. Its companion binds keys to these same identifiers.
