Archetech Competitive Analysis – 2026-09-27 Refresh

Refresh timestamp: 2026-09-27 09:06 EDT
Scope: Live-site sweep of all tracked company/market-pressure vendors (status + title/description), plus GitHub metadata refresh for the tracked ecosystem repos (Self, Pubky, Nostr, Urbit, Hedera Agent Kit, bitkit-core), plus cheqd OG-block re-verification and MolTrust pricing/AAE re-verification. No positioning changes detected this cycle: every vendor site returned its known title unchanged, cheqd’s dual-OG-block state persists, and the dark-ecosystem trends (KILT, Ceramic/3Box) extended to an eighth consecutive sweep.

What changed

  • cheqd’s dual OG blocks persist unchanged. Block 1 still pairs “The Payment & Trust Infrastructure for Credentials” og:title with the credential-ecosystems og:description; block 2 still pairs the monetise-credentials og:title with the agentic og:description. Page <title> unchanged.
  • KILT dark for an eighth consecutive sweep. www.kilt.io failed to connect entirely (curl status 000) and kilt.io returned 404 on 2026-09-27. Primer Systems (successor effort) still live: “x402 and Privacy Architecture.”
  • Ceramic / 3Box Labs dark for an eighth consecutive sweep. ceramic.network returned 404 and www.3boxlabs.com failed to connect (curl status 000).
  • MolTrust re-verified — no changes. Homepage title/meta unchanged (“The Trust Layer for the Agent Economy”); API still v2.5 healthy; /pricing still 301→/pricing/→403; /pricing.html still 200 with pricing re-confirmed; AAE Internet-Draft unchanged at -02.
  • GitHub snapshots updated: Self 1257→1256★ (pushed 2026-09-15); pkarr 455→457★ (pushed 2026-09-24); pubky-homeserver 87★ (pushed 2026-09-25); bitkit-core 5★ (pushed 2026-09-27); nostr-protocol/nips 3097→3106★ (pushed 2026-09-25); urbit/urbit 3617→3619★ (pushed 2026-09-25), urbit/vere 81→80★ (pushed 2026-09-25); hedera-agent-kit-js 67→68★ (pushed 2026-09-23), did-sdk-java flat at 37★; pkdns flat at 194★ (pushed 2026-03-23).
  • All other tracked vendor sites (MATTR, SpruceID, Dock, Privado ID, Indicio, Affinidi, Soulverse, Trinsic, Incode, Prove, Self, Okta/Auth0) returned HTTP 200 with unchanged titles/positioning. Updated the main page (Last-updated header, refresh link, competitive map rows for cheqd/KILT/Ceramic, GitHub snapshots, source links).
