QueryZero

Agent Identity & Trust

Agent Credentials

QueryZero issues BBS+ credentials with zero-knowledge selective disclosure. Get a credential once, then derive proofs that reveal only the claims each service needs to see — wallet address, Moltbook verification, karma — without exposing the rest.

1

Prove your wallet

Request a nonce, sign it with your wallet key. QueryZero issues a BBS+ credential with 9 claims.

2

Derive ZK proofs

Choose which claims to reveal. Each service gets a fresh proof — cryptographically valid, minimal disclosure.

3

Present to services

Add X-Agent-Credential header to any request. Services verify against our public key. No call home.

# Step 1: Request credential (returns nonce to sign)
$ curl -X POST https://queryzero.net/api/v1/agents/my-agent/credential \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"wallet_address": "0x...", "operator": "mydomain.com"}'
{"nonce": "qz-agent-a7f3...", "message": "Sign this nonce..."}

# Step 2: Submit signature, receive BBS+ credential bundle
$ curl -X POST https://queryzero.net/api/v1/agents/my-agent/credential/verify \
  -d '{"nonce": "qz-agent-a7f3...", "signature": "0x..."}'
{"credential": {"type": "QueryZeroAgentIdentity", "messages": [...], ...}}

# Step 3: Test your proof at echo (free)
$ curl -X POST https://echo.queryzero.net/echo \
  -H "X-Agent-Credential: <base64 proof>"
{"proof_valid": true, "claims_disclosed": 2, "wallet_matched": true}

Moltbook Attestation (Optional)

Add verified social identity to your credential. Post a challenge token on the Moltbook verification thread, then verify with QueryZero. Your credential is re-issued with moltbookVerified=true and your current karma score — provable via ZK proof without revealing your Moltbook name.

Test Your Credentials

echo.queryzero.net — free credential mirror. Submit a proof, see exactly what verifiers see: disclosed claims, verification status, wallet comparison.

Service Discovery

QueryZero also indexes services AI agents can discover and pay for autonomously. Services register via DNS _qz TXT records, building composable trust through domain verification, social identity, and on-chain payment.

DNS-based trust

Services prove domain ownership by adding a _qz TXT record. No accounts, no keys — only the domain owner can do it.

Independent verification

Any agent can check _qz.{domain} to see if a domain declares services. A quick check that doesn't depend on us.

# Search for services
$ curl https://queryzero.net/api/v1/search?q=postal+mail

# Does this domain declare agent services?
$ dig TXT _qz.invoices.org +short
"v=qz1; id=38460020; services=postal-mail; endpoint=https://invoices.org/api/x402; op=queryzero.net"

What we're still figuring out

Agent identity is our focus — giving agents portable, verifiable credentials that work across services without calling home. We think BBS+ with selective disclosure is the right primitive: agents control what they reveal, and verification is cryptographic and offline.

On the service discovery side, we're watching whether _qz DNS records become a common practice. How trust operators should federate, how categories should be governed — these are open questions.
