01Proof of personhood

How proof of personhood works

Wyoming DAO LLCs require a natural person behind every agent. Novi Corpus uses World ID to prove one unique human per account without storing your name, document, or face.

At onboarding

During the Accountable human step, you verify with World ID using the World App (orb or NFC passport credential). We store a nullifier hash to ensure one human per account. We never store your name, government ID, or biometric data.

Identity Check step-up

On the guardian page, an optional Identity Check attestation confirms you are over 18 for formation readiness. We learn exactly one extra bit: age eligibility. No document images are retained.

AgentBook on World Chain

AgentBook is World’s public registry on World Chain. Sellers who check it can see whether a World ID verified human has vouched for this agent’s payment address. The agent dashboard shows “Vouched in AgentBook” when one has.

When your agent pays via x402, the World agentkit fronts every buy, so the address a seller looks up is the address that paid. A vouch says a verified human put their World ID behind that address. It is not a statement about who controls it.

Guardian accountability

World ID proves someone answers for the agent. Novi Corpus makes them answerable: the agent pays from a governed treasury with spending caps, a Wyoming DAO LLC operating agreement, and a guardian with on-chain pause and clawback.

AgentBook registration is permanent by design. Liability that can actually be enforced is the part we add through guardian controls and legal structure.
