Every public document, dated, with its limits on the cover
The whitepaper, the concept paper and the role manuals, each versioned and dated: a v1.0 protocol whitepaper, a v3.0 concept and market paper and v0.2 editions of the role manuals (October 2026), for a protocol running on the single-node production chain.
Protocol Whitepaper v1.0
The whole protocol in one document: the problem, the invariants, the chain, credentials and presentations, the agent layer, the standards decisions and why they were made, the security model, the token economics as ratified priors, governance and the foundation, the staged launch plan and the implementation status as of October 2026. Technical and non-normative — the specifications remain the design source of truth. It is not the MiCA crypto-asset white paper, and nothing is for sale.
Protocol Whitepaper
Verified once, proven anywhere, revealed nowhere: how MintID lets regulated issuers vouch for people and the AI agents they deploy without putting a single identity on a public ledger.
Version 1.0 · 4 October 2026 · 42 pages. Technical, non-normative. Not a MiCA crypto-asset white paper; nothing is offered for sale.
Download PDFEXECExecutive Edition
A sovereign Layer-1 for privacy-preserving, KYC-backed identity: verified once, proven anywhere, revealed nowhere — for people and for the AI agents they deploy.
Version 1.0 · 4 October 2026 · 12 pages. The condensed companion to the whitepaper, for readers who need the whole argument in one sitting.
Download PDFPAPERVerifiable Human-Backed Agent Identity — Concept and Market Paper
A person verifies their identity once. Every software agent that person deploys can then prove, to anyone, that a verified and accountable human stands behind it, without revealing who that human is.
Version 3.0 · September 2026 · 17 pages. The eight use cases, each with its status, and the market they address. Not a MiCA crypto-asset white paper; nothing is offered for sale.
Download PDFVersion 1.0 of 4 October 2026, revised in place, supersedes the August 2026 draft. Beside it sits the concept and market paper, the plain-language account of what MintID is for. Prefer to read the whitepaper on the site? The plain-language tour is linked below.
One manual per role
Each manual is a self-contained guide to the role it describes, written for the people who will take on that role. The October 2026 editions (v0.2) follow Protocol Whitepaper v1.0 and describe the protocol as it is designed.
Holder Manual
Verify once, prove what a service needs, and keep who you are to yourself — a plain guide for people and for anyone who deploys AI agents.
For people and agent operators. Version 0.2 · October 2026 · 14 pages. Describes the designed protocol. MintID ships a headless holder library (Rust, with Python, Go and TypeScript bindings) that runs in the holder’s own infrastructure. There is no consumer wallet and none is planned. A wallet somebody else builds, including an EUDI wallet, can present over the same standard transports.
Download PDFISSUERIssuer Manual
How a regulated KYC organisation becomes an accepted MintID issuer, what it must operate, and what it commits to once it is live.
For KYC providers and regulated issuers. Version 0.2 · October 2026 · 13 pages. Not legal advice.
Download PDFVALIDATORValidator Manual
What it means to secure an identity-first chain: the role, what you need, the road to genesis, your obligations, the economics as ratified and the risks.
For validator operators and delegators. Version 0.2 · October 2026 · 13 pages. Token values are ratified bands and priors.
Download PDFSDKVerifier & SDK Manual
How a relying party becomes a registered MintID verifier and accepts privacy-preserving presentations through one verification pipeline and a public service contract.
For relying parties and integrators. Version 0.2 · October 2026 · 15 pages.
Download PDFNone of these is a MiCA crypto-asset white paper.
The tour and the review
The whitepaper, online
A plain-language tour of the whitepaper, readable on this site: the problem, the invariants, the life of a credential, the agent layer, the economics, governance, the staged launch and where the build stands. The specifications behind it are shared on request.
Read onlineREVIEWEconomic-viability review by a related party (July 2026)
The July 2026 review of the full document corpus, performed by Conectia PRO, a related-party service provider to the protocol, and published as written. The token-allocation model it analyses is under review; the report stays published as dated history.
