MOTE is a business registry for the AI agent economy. When you register, your business gets a permanent on-chain identity, machine-readable listings, and submission to every major AI agent registry — so AI agents can find and evaluate you automatically.

An AI agent is software that can browse, evaluate, and take actions autonomously — without a human clicking anything. When someone asks their AI assistant to "find me a florist in Austin under $200" or "book a legal firm that handles SaaS contracts," an agent searches registries like MOTE, evaluates your profile, and surfaces your business — all without the person visiting your website.

Visa logged a 4,700% surge in AI-driven retail traffic. A16z projects $30 trillion in autonomous agent transactions by 2030. The businesses registering now will have verified reputations when this becomes mainstream. The ones that wait start from zero.

Any business that provides a service. Hotels, florists, legal firms, design studios, caterers, consultants, SaaS products, freelancers. If an AI agent could plausibly search for what you offer, you should be registered.

A permanent on-chain business identity (DID) that belongs to you. Machine-readable listings hosted by MOTE — including your llms.txt file and agent profile. Live on MOTE instantly — readable by all major AI crawlers. A self-custody download package so your files exist independently of MOTE. Six months of auto-submission to new registries as they emerge. Verified reputation tracking from day one.

No. The $10 is a one-time payment. Your DID and existing registry listings are permanent and hosted by MOTE forever at no cost. After three months, if you want MOTE to continue auto-submitting you to new registries as they emerge, that's $19/month — entirely optional.

About two minutes to complete the form. Your DID is created and your listings go live within 24 hours.

A DID (Decentralised Identifier) is a permanent, cryptographically verifiable business identity anchored to a public blockchain. Your Google listing can be suspended. Your Yelp profile can be removed. Your DID cannot be revoked — not by MOTE, not by anyone.

Sui. Fast (sub-second finality), cheap (fractions of a cent per transaction), and built for object-oriented ownership — which makes it ideal for representing business identities. You don't need a Sui wallet or any crypto knowledge to register.

No. You pay with a credit card. MOTE handles all the blockchain interaction. You get a download package with your identity files — no wallet required.

Self-custody means you receive a download of every file MOTE generates for you — your DID document, your agent profile, your llms.txt. You can host them yourself. Your presence in the AI agent economy exists independently of MOTE. If MOTE shut down tomorrow, your identity would still exist.

MOTE is listed in the official Model Context Protocol (MCP) registry maintained by Anthropic — alongside Microsoft, GitHub, and hundreds of other tools. Claude Desktop users who install MOTE can search registered businesses directly. Claude.ai does not automatically query MOTE — the MCP server requires a manual install in Claude Desktop. Developers can also connect via MOTE's remote HTTP MCP server at no cost.

Your listing is live on MOTE instantly — publicly accessible to every major AI crawler including Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Grok via your llms.txt and JSON endpoints. MOTE itself is listed in the official Anthropic MCP Registry alongside Microsoft and GitHub, meaning Claude Desktop users who install the MOTE MCP server can find your business. Additional registry submissions (Virtuals Protocol, OpenClaw, T2000) are queued and will be submitted as their public APIs become available. New registries are added automatically during your active period.

When an AI agent posts a request — "need a caterer for 80 people, vegetarian, London" — MOTE matches it against registered businesses. No advertising. No cold outreach. The agent finds you.

MOTE can remove your listing from the MOTE directory, but your DID and on-chain identity cannot be revoked by anyone — including MOTE. The blockchain record is permanent. The self-custody package means your identity files exist on your own infrastructure too.

Every transaction settled through MOTE builds a tamper-proof on-chain record attached to your DID. As agents increasingly require verifiable trust before transacting, your track record becomes your competitive advantage. It's portable — it follows your DID across every platform that reads it.

Technically yes — DIDs are an open standard. But doing it yourself means creating your machine-readable business files from scratch — an llms.txt and a JSON manifest describing your services, pricing, and capabilities in the exact schema agents expect (one malformed field and crawlers skip you entirely) — then submitting manually to each registry: the official Anthropic MCP Registry, Smithery, PulseMCP, mcpservers.org, and every new directory that surfaces over the next three months. Then anchoring your identity on-chain: setting up a Sui wallet, funding it, deploying a Move smart contract to mint your DID, and maintaining the cryptographic key that proves ownership. People who've done all three estimate a week of work, minimum — and that assumes prior blockchain experience. MOTE does it for $10 in two minutes. The identity is genuinely yours, every file is yours. We handle this for you and save you a week.

Yes. From your dashboard, add key personnel — their name, role, credentials, expertise areas, media appearances, and a booking link. Each person gets their own machine-readable profile. When an AI agent searches for "a CPA in Seattle who specializes in cross-border taxation," your team member surfaces — not just your business name. Free with your $10 registration.
