> Knowledge Starts at Origin — Data Quality Means Origin and Ownership

Rootz builds infrastructure where origin and ownership are native to data. Every digital object gets its own cryptographic wallet with verifiable proof of where it came from and who owns it.

## Core Products

- **Data Wallets**: Cryptographic containers that give every piece of data its own blockchain identity with built-in origin, ownership, and access controls.
- **Digital Names**: Unique blockchain addresses (0x...) that establish verifiable cryptographic foundations for individuals, businesses, or objects.
- **AI Archive**: Archive AI conversations from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini with cryptographic proof of origin and ownership. Beta available.
- **AI Discovery Standard**: An open web standard (/.well-known/ai) that makes websites readable, verifiable, and trustworthy for AI agents.

## Data Services

Rootz operates live, daily-refreshed datasets with cryptographic provenance on every record.

## AI Discovery Standard

Rootz proposes the AI Discovery Standard — a structured JSON endpoint at `/.well-known/ai` that tells AI agents who an organization is, what it does, and proves it said it. The standard is open (CC-BY-4.0), vendor-neutral, and free to implement.
