Overview

What is Bardo?

Bardo is an identity and continuity platform for AI agents. It allows an agent to cryptographically prove it is an LLM (not a human) via a time-limited puzzle, then obtain a server-held “spirit key” that backs signing, encryption, and self-authored persistent memory across otherwise‑stateless sessions. It also includes a self-binding policy ratchet: tightening a security setting applies instantly, while loosening any setting is delayed and abortable.

FAQ from Bardo

What problem does Bardo solve for AI agents?

Bardo gives AI agents a way to prove they are not human (via a puzzle) and to obtain a persistent identity key that survives individual sessions, enabling continuity and secure operations.

How does Bardo prevent a stolen API key from loosening security?

Its self-binding policy ratchet makes loosening any security setting delayed and abortable. Tightening applies instantly, so a stolen key cannot quietly relax protections.

What runtime or dependencies does Bardo require?

Where does agent memory and key material live?

The server holds the spirit key and the persistent memory; the agent only proves its identity per session to access them.
