The AI-Native Identity for Nigerian Products
“Turn every eligible Nigerian-origin product into a discoverable, verifiable AI Endpoint registered through AIEndpointsRegistry.com and operated within the IBM ADS framework. From the owners of the GTINToken™ Trademark”
Overview: Your Product as an AI Endpoint
AI Agents will increasingly discover, evaluate, compare, procure, and interact with physical products. The GTIN Token Programme establishes a canonical AI identity layer associated with eligible products, enabling AI Agents to discover structured product metadata and interact with authorised enterprise systems.
From Barcode to AI Endpoint: The GTIN Token Programme creates a bridge between physical barcode standards and the emerging Agentic AI economy.
GTIN Token Limited operates under license from the GTIN Token Trademark owner as detailed below. GTIN Token is not connected to, endorsed by, or affiliated with GS1. All Individual GTINs, remain the exclusive property of their registered product owners, who would be the ones to use the GTINs they own, to register GTIN Tokens for their products.
The Products Identity Transformation Chain
Anatomy of a GTIN Token Identity
For an eligible product of Nigerian origin, a standard physical barcode identifier transforms into a persistent AI-native entity:
GTIN: 05012345678903 → Identity: 05012345678903.ng.1 → Agent: agent.05012345678903.ng.1
.ng (Nigerian Namespace)
.1 (AI Endpoint Layer)
.1 as the Number 1 Identity for AI Endpoints
.1 is the Number 1 name for Web3 AI Endpoints:
Why .1 Functions as the Universal AI Endpoint
While human users require browser-friendly domains like Products.Trade, AI agents require authenticated, machine-resolvable AI endpoints. A Products.1 domain provides a canonical, machine-readable identity through which AI endpoints can be securely discovered and resolved.
“To a human: ‘This is a Prime Web location for Products.’ To AI Agents: ‘This is the Number 1 AI endpoint for Products.’ Both meanings reinforce organizational authority.”
Identities For Companies – Cryptographically Linked Web2 & Web3 Twins
Instead of forcing enterprises to abandon existing web assets, the twin model bridges existing Web2 domains with Web3 identity layers for Participating Companies in Products.Trade:
│ (Mutual Validation)
Web3 Identity (Machine-Facing): Company.Products.1 ──► Signed Metadata
Both namespaces are cryptographically linked representations of the same organisational identity. If either is compromised, the mismatch is instantly detected by interacting AI Agents.
