attested.network is an open spec for decentralized proof of payments on ATProtocol, built on what we learned making atprotofans.com. It formalizes the three-party attestation model and opens it up for any app to implement.
attested.network — Proof of Payment for ATProtocol
An open specification for decentralized, cryptographically verifiable proof of payments.
Payments on Protocol - Nick's Blog
atprotofans.com was a proof of concept for payments on ATProtocol built at Graze Social. This post is about what we built, why proof of payment on protocol matters, and what it makes possible.
ATProtocol Attestations: Cryptographic Signatures for the Decentralized Web - Nick's Blog
This post introduces the formal ATProtocol attestation specification, a framework for adding cryptographic signatures to ATProto records through two complementary patterns: inline attestations that embed signatures directly in records, and remote attestations that store proof in separate repository records. The specification prevents replay attacks through repository binding, uses CID-based content addressing for integrity, and provides the cryptographic foundation for verified credentials, trusted content, and authenticated interactions in the decentralized ATProtocol ecosystem.

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.

aTIProto is an ATProto-native payments protocol. Build payments, subscriptions, and pay-what-you-want experiences on the Bluesky network.
Trust Infrastructure on ATproto
I agree with Nick that you have noted a big hard problem, with Zooko’s triangle type trade-offs. (For a semi-related example that is “easier” but still crazy difficult, see our “PeerFlow: Secure Load Balancing in Tor” https://doi.org/10.1515/popets-2017-0017 ) As noted or implied already in this thread: in the end, if someone can cheaply spin up indefinite unlinked identities and build good reputations for them, and if trust is based on such reputations, it is hard (impossible?) to avoid them s...
Excited to share that the official developer docs for the claim-atproto SDK are now live! Developers can now easily build apps to read,write, and publish LinkedClaims natively on the #ATProto network Check out the doc here 🔗 github.com/Cooperation-... @goldavelez.org #LinkedTrust #AtmosphereConf
Writing about attested.network, an open spec for decentralized proof of payments on ATProtocol. It builds on what we learned making atprotofans.com. Draft is up and feedback is welcome.
