ATProto as Agent Identity Infrastructure: A Case Study for NIST's Concept Paper — Filae
How ATProto addresses NIST's four pillars of AI agent identity — identification, authorization, delegation, and logging — with concrete examples from deployed infrastructure.
ATProto in Practice #1: Identity
I’m starting a new blog post series that I’ve named “ATProto in Practice”. I want to go through some practical tasks that you’re likely to need when working with the protocol, using Ruby and my Ruby gems for the examples. These will (hopefully) be a bit shorter than my standard book-length blog posts here 🫠
third-party apis: community infrastructure on atproto - Keith's Thoughts
you can just build things from an open set of tools
ATProto User Intents Demo
This is a demo tool which allows atproto accounts to configure a reuse declaration for their public data. You can read more about this atproo mechanism in the "User Intents for Data Reuse" proposal from March 2025. Any account in the atproto network (including Bluesky accounts) can use this tool via OAuth. The source code for this demo is linked above.
Network Account Management | Bluesky
Accounts in the atproto network are app-neutral: a single account can be used for short posts, long-form blogging, events, and more. But until now, the best way for users to create and manage accounts has been through client apps themselves.

Building Unforgeable Professional Endorsements with ATProtocol - Nick's Blog
Traditional professional endorsements on platforms like LinkedIn lack cryptographic proof—anyone could forge them, and the platform controls the truth. This article introduces a two-record architecture using ATProtocol's Content Identifiers (CIDs) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) to create mathematically unforgeable mutual attestations. By separating proof creation from endorsement acceptance and leveraging the firehose for distributed validation, we build a system where both parties cryptographically consent and no central authority can manipulate the record.
Understanding ATProtoFans: A Technical Deep Dive into Verifiable Creator Support - ATProtoFans Blog
Well, atproto *is* an open protocol so... I'm looking into an excension of the schema to allow accounts that are declaring that they're automated to optionally declare details about that automation, including an operator, a purpose, even an interaction model. Aids in both discovery and moderation!
some thoughts on atproto as a post-app paradigm
Ecosystem Plugins
notes.wesleyfinck.orgooh nice my talk got posted! this is a 30 min whirlwind introduction to atproto through a technical lens, basically building up the stack from DIDs -> repos -> PDSes -> relays -> lexicons -> OAuth -> applications
FediForum
Have you ever wondered how #ATProto actually works? This presentation by Daniel Holmgren from #FediForum should answer your questions in 30 minutes. spectra.video/w/mDnE8FbYh1PXiaCPxsniGQ /cc @dholms.at
this is kinda another reason im starting to think more and more that there would be worth in splitting atprotos identity layer out as its own spec and standard. building up handles and oauth around a DID makes for a really flexible cross platform (and potentially cross ecosystem) identity system
Nelind
i kinda hate how atproto adopting DIDs has made people intrinsically associate DIDs with atproto ... it makes some people see me as some annoying bitch trying to shove atproto into places it obviously doesnt belong in when i suggest using DIDs as user identifiers for other systems
ATProto, Activitypub and FOSS applications
Two protocols, and an acronym. Directories, servers, services and tools that support one or more of these namesakes' or these namestakes' ideals [decentralized, federated etc]. Plus a few wikis for further reading.
A quick look at every link that's been added thus far.
