Know Information

Every digital system depends on assertions. Assertions about identity. Assertions about permissions. Assertions about ownership. Assertions about credentials. Assertions about organizations. Assertions about AI agents. Modern systems operate by trusting these assertions. As systems scale, those assertions become fragmented across applications, directories, workflows, policies, and institutions. Over time they drift from reality. The result is a world where critical decisions depend on claims that are difficult to independently verify. Know is building attestation infrastructure for the digital world. Our belief is simple: Important assertions should not be trusted because a system claims they are true. They should be independently verifiable. We are starting with authority because it is where the consequences of unverifiable assertions are most costly today. Authority is only one category of assertion. The same primitives extend to credentials, delegation, organizations, AI agents, ownership, and any digital relationship that depends on proof. We’re building the infrastructure that enables the transition from trusted assertions to verifiable attestations.
