Trust registry & badge

The x402 endpoint verify scan gives an endpoint a trust score at a point in time. The trust registry turns that into something durable: you can track an endpoint, list it publicly, and embed a live badge that always reflects the endpoint's current standing.

Track an endpoint

After an x402 verify scan, add the endpoint to your registry from the dashboard. The registry keeps your tracked endpoints with their verify scores in one place, so you can watch trust over time instead of re-running a one-off check. Only an endpoint that actually returned a live x402 (HTTP 402) handshake when it was verified can be tracked.

List it publicly

Mark a high-trust entry public and listed and it appears in the public directory at app.anthrion.xyz/registry/public — a read-only, no-login directory of verified endpoints that anyone (or any agent) can browse.

Embed the trust badge

For a public, listed entry the dashboard shows an Embed this badge block: a live preview and a copy-paste snippet. Drop it into your site, README, or docs:

html
<a href="https://app.anthrion.xyz/registry/public" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
  <img
    src="https://api.anthrion.xyz/public/registry/badge/YOUR_ENTRY_ID.svg"
    alt="ANTHRION trust badge"
    height="20"
  />
</a>

The badge is an SVG served live from the registry — it is not a static image you host. Its state is always derived from the current registry entry, so:

  • You cannot pin a stale "verified." The snippet renders whatever the entry's standing is right now.
  • If the endpoint's trust later changes, the badge updates itself — the same <img> flips to its non-endorsing state with no action from you.

The badge links back to the public directory, where a visitor can see the full entry.

Honesty

The badge is an indicator, not a guarantee. It reflects ANTHRION's most recent assessment of the endpoint — useful signal for a human or an autonomous agent deciding whether to trust an endpoint, not a warranty that paying it is safe.

Keep it monitored

Trust is not static, so ANTHRION can monitor a tracked endpoint continuously and raise an alert if its trust drifts — for example if the endpoint's payment details stop being consistent with what was verified. Set up and review monitors and alerts from the dashboard.

Programmatic callers reach the public directory and badge data without auth: GET https://api.anthrion.xyz/public/registry for the directory, and …/public/registry/badge/<id>.json for a single badge's data.
