01File layer
TODAThe file protocol.
Rigging gives a file portable integrity at a distance. A TODA file carries its own proof, so its integrity holds wherever its state is managed.
Integrity, built into every digital asset.
Research, open specifications, Integrity Networks and agentic commerce, all built on the TODA and ADOT protocols.

One protocol. Four ways to work with TODAQ.
Choose where you're headed.
Qatom
AI infrastructure and agentic commerce
Qatom is our commercial arm: the market and payment rail where AI agents find, buy and sell APIs, data and digital assets.
- Sell APIs, data and skills to AI agents
- Built on the TODA file protocol
Integrity Networks
TODA in production
Integrity Networks are for organisations running TODA in production.
- TODAQ Twin API: a hosted TODA container
- TODAQ Micropay: send and receive micropayments between hosted twins
- Engineering support for licensed organisations
TODAQ Labs
Research and development
TODAQ Labs carries out long-range research toward a human-centric web.
- Strong control of digital assets
- Authentic trade without reliance on intermediaries
Partners
Partners and friends
Open specifications and academic research.
- T.R.I.E. maintains the living TODA specifications
- The Centre for ReDecentralisation at the University of Cambridge is a research friend

The file is the proof.
Open research behind every product.
Both protocols are published: a book from World Scientific and the living specifications maintained by T.R.I.E.

Rigging Specifications
The normative specification of rigging. A well-formed rig links two things so the integrity of one is extended to the other.
Simple Rigs Hold Fast
Objects can maintain the integrity of one system while having their state fully managed by another.
ADOT Objects: Units of meaning in the world of rigging
The ADOT protocol: how to create, update, serialize and interpret ADOT objects (abjects).
Two protocols, one foundation.
TODA keeps the file whole. ADOT says what is inside it.
02Application layer
ADOTThe application-layer protocol.
Just as HTTP is an application-layer protocol, ADOT defines how to create, update, serialize and interpret ADOT objects, called abjects. Abjects provide the meaning inside TODA files.
ADOT objects live inside TODA files: the meaning travels with the proof.
From specification to product.
Everything we build runs on two protocols: TODA for the file, ADOT for the objects inside it.
Specifications
The Rigging Specification defines TODA and the Abject Specification defines ADOT. Both are living documents, maintained by T.R.I.E.
