What is SITP?

Immutable ledger

Every staple anchored to a Merkle ledger with simultaneous Bitcoin, Ethereum, and timestamp authority verification.

Cross-enterprise federation

Route staples across company boundaries with bilateral ledger records on both sides. No single point of trust.

AI agent accountability

The trust layer beneath autonomous agents. Human-in-the-loop gates and auditable agent-to-agent commitments.

Public verification

Anyone can verify a staple record independently. No account required. Unauthenticated endpoint.

SITP operators

	Operator	Function
&	Assignment	Binds an actor to a commitment. The staple knows who owns it.
^	Urgency	Sets escalation level. ^1 through ^5. Drives notification persistence and visual aging.
~	Natural language	AI-compiled input. Write in plain language; the protocol parses intent.
!	Action	Closes the loop. The staple is resolved, timestamped, and sealed to the ledger.

One-line SDK

Compose a staple in a single expression. Any platform. Any stack.
