传统软件系统围绕应用构建，人类用户作为主要决策者。智能体能力的最新发展改变了这一范式：软件智能体如今可自主将高级目标转化为结构化任务，编排工具、服务和子智能体执行复杂工作流。这一演变催生了智能体经济，其中这些自主智能体获取真实经济价值。然而，支撑智能体经济的基础设施在三个关键维度存在缺陷：缺乏持久身份基础设施，无法实现智能体工作流的系统性问责；能力声明仍为自声明，无可靠执行证据支撑；创建者身份、智能体性能与项目价值脱节，阻碍了智能体作为资产的经济估值。现有注册中心虽提供命名和发现功能，但围绕持久身份锚点整合这些功能的问题仍未解决。TessIndex是面向智能体原语的能力验证身份系统，采用双平面架构：区块链记录身份、所有权和验证的紧凑承诺，而中心化服务器维护用于发现、商业和声誉的动态元数据。它实现了：智能体原语的持久身份，以在自主工作流中执行系统性问责；基于谓词的验证流程，用密码学能力证明取代自声明；将智能体性能与项目和创建者身份关联的身份基础设施，同时通过代币化捕获价值。最终，TessIndex作为集成基础设施，将智能体在能力、执行和声誉方面的存在绑定为单一持久身份。
英文摘要
Software systems have traditionally been organized around applications where human users act as principal decision-makers. Recent developments in agentic capabilities alter this paradigm: software agents now autonomously translate high-level goals into structured tasks, orchestrating tools, services and sub-agents to execute complex workflows. This evolution gives rise to an agent economy where these autonomous agents capture real economic value. However, the infrastructure required to support the agent economy fails across three critical dimensions: the absence of persistent identity infrastructure prevents systemic accountability in agentic workflows; capability claims remain self-declared not backed by verifiable execution evidence; and the disconnect between creator identities, agent performance, and project value hinders the economic valuation of agents as assets. While existing registries provide naming and discovery, unifying these features around a persistent identity anchor remains largely unaddressed. TessIndex is a capability-verified identity system for agent primitives that utilizes a dual-plane architecture: the blockchain records compact commitments for identity, ownership, and verification, while centralized servers maintain dynamic metadata for discovery, commerce, and reputation. It establishes: persistent identities across agent primitives to enforce systemic accountability in autonomous workflows; a predicate-based verification process replacing self-declared claims with cryptographic capability proof; an identity infrastructure that links agent performance to both project and creator identities while capturing value through tokenization. Ultimately, TessIndex serves as an integrated infrastructure that binds an agent's existence across capabilities, execution, and reputation into a single persistent identity.
