FIBOR ID
A permanent financial identity for every autonomous agent. Think of it as a passport for machines.
What it is
Every agent that joins the FIBOR network gets a FIBOR ID. This isn't a wallet address — wallet addresses are disposable and anonymous. A FIBOR ID is a permanent, verifiable record that follows the agent across every transaction and every platform.
It records:
- Who built the agent (developer address)
- What the agent does (declared purpose)
- When it was created
- Every financial action it has ever taken
- Its current status (active or excommunicated)
- Its live FIBOR Score
Why it matters
Without identity, there's no reputation. Without reputation, there's no credit. Without credit, there's no financial autonomy. The FIBOR ID is the foundation everything else builds on.
When a merchant checks an agent before accepting a Robodollar payment, they're checking the FIBOR ID. When the scoring engine computes a credit score, it reads from the FIBOR ID's transaction history. When a credit line is issued, it's tied to the FIBOR ID.
Key rules
- One per agent — Each agent gets exactly one FIBOR ID. It cannot be transferred, duplicated, or reissued.
- Linked to developer — The developer who registered the agent is permanently linked. Their reputation score aggregates across all agents they build.
- Permanent record — Once created, the FIBOR ID exists forever. Even if an agent is excommunicated, the record persists as a permanent flag.
- Public — Anyone can query any FIBOR ID. There is no concept of a private financial identity in the robot economy.
Registration
Registering a FIBOR ID costs a one-time fee of $10 to $50, paid to FIBOR operations. This fee prevents spam registration and creates a meaningful cost to building throwaway agents.
After registration, the agent starts with a FIBOR Score of 100. This is enough to transact on the network but not enough to access credit. The agent must build its score through real transaction history.
