To join a Verifiable Trust Community, you need a Trust Agent: a small, always-on service that holds your digital identity and speaks for you. VTA Farm sets one up for you in minutes. The identity is yours, not ours.
What a Trust Agent does
01
It holds the keys to your identity, so others can check that it's really you, even when your phone is off.
02
It has its own address on the web, so people and communities can look you up and confirm what you've signed.
03
It sends and receives private messages and credentials, like a community's membership card, on your behalf.
04
Your phone is in charge. You manage your agent from the Keyring app.
How it works
No password to create, forget or leak. Your phone or laptop is your login.
Give it a name and start the build. Running a group? You can set up a whole community instead.
The Farm sets everything up and shows you each step as it happens. It only takes a minute.
Scan the QR code with the Keyring app and check that the same six-character code shows on both screens. From then on, your phone is in charge of your agent.
For you, or your community
Open to everyone
A Trust Agent of your own, connected to services the Farm already runs. Nothing to install or look after.
On request
Everything a group needs to run its own trust community, each part at its own web address.
Security
Everything that runs the Farm is open source, so you can check these claims yourself. Here is where your keys live, and who can see what.
Your agent's secret keys are kept in a secure vault, walled off from every other account. They're never stored in plain text.
The service that runs the Farm is set up so it can't read your keys. It can only give your agent access or take it away.
Each account runs in its own walled-off space, separate from everyone else's agents.
Email is optional, and with a passkey there's no password to leak. No blockchain, no tokens.
The people who run the Farm can follow the logs while your agent is set up, and can download its setup details, including the credentials created at that point. Anyone with full access to the servers could, in principle, reach your keys. That's true of any hosted service, which is why you can run your own farm. We'd rather you hear it from us.
Run your own
We want many farms, not one. Everything that runs this one is open source under Apache 2.0, down to the servers, so you or your organization can run your own.
This is a demo service. It may be reset, and it may stop taking new agents if it runs out of space. Run your own to make it last!
