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.

MIT protocol Public root Antheos

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.

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.

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.
