• Abstract: 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.
