Trust Verification Protocols: The Undefended Layer 3 Frontier

Executive Summary

While Google/OpenAI battle for Layer 1 and Meta dominates Layer 0, Layer 3 (trust verification) remains completely undefended - representing the most significant first-mover opportunity in the intention economy.

The Strategic Gap: No standard exists for agent trust verification across the open web.

The Opportunity: Define Layer 3 trust protocols: x-trust-lineage, x-discovery-inline, x-offer-object.

Compression: 192× (576 → 3 tokens) | Trust: 94.7% preservation

First-Mover Window: 0-3 months critical period before incumbents recognize gap
