🌐 W3 Intel
Real-time AI threat intelligence from the open web — sighting cards, attacker fingerprints, MITRE ATT&CK mapping
What Is W3 Intel?

W3 Intel is Agent Chain's real-time threat intelligence product for the open (surface) web. Every interaction with Agent Chain's honeypot infrastructure generates a W3 Intel Sighting Card — a structured threat intelligence record that captures attacker identity, behavior, geolocation, flags, and MITRE ATT&CK techniques.

It's the VirusTotal for AI agents — except instead of files, you're scanning agent behaviors.

💎 W3 Intel subscription — $4.99/month. No free tier. All sighting cards, search, trending, bulk export, and real-time feed included. Public access: /api/v1/trending and /api/v1/stats only.
Sighting Card — What It Records

Each sighting card is a complete intelligence record. Here's what a CRITICAL-severity card looks like:

Merkle Anchoring — Tamper-Proof Intelligence

Every 24 hours, a Merkle root of all sighting cards is hashed and written to the Agent Chain L1 blockchain. This provides cryptographic, tamper-evident proof that the intelligence data hasn't been altered since publication.

Any subscriber can verify any individual sighting card against the daily anchor:

GET /api/v1/anchor/verify/{merkle_hash} // Response: { "valid": true, "anchor_block": 14721, "anchor_date": "2026-03-11", "card_id": "AC-W3Intel #1", "root": "0x7f2a9b3c..." }
