Archetech Competitive Analysis – 2026-10-15 Refresh
Refresh timestamp: 2026-10-15 13:30 EDT
Scope: Live-site sweep of all tracked company/market-pressure vendors (status + title/meta), plus GitHub metadata refresh for the tracked ecosystem repos (Self, Pubky, Nostr, Urbit, Hedera, bitkit-core), plus cheqd OG-block re-verification and MolTrust live-surface re-verification. New entrant this cycle: Proof (proof.com) — added to the main page (map row + profile + sources) on 2026-10-15 ahead of this sweep; verified live during it. No positioning changes detected on any incumbent vendor: every site returned its known title unchanged, cheqd’s dual-OG-block state persists for a sixth consecutive verification, and the dark-ecosystem trends (KILT, Ceramic/3Box) extended to an eleventh consecutive sweep. Note: this was an unscheduled mid-week run of the weekly job.
What changed
-
Proof (proof.com) added to tracking. Live during this sweep: HTTP 200, title “Proof Identity-centric security platform,” meta describing identity verification + transaction security (formerly Notarize). Profiled under digital ID acceptance / identity verification platforms; Medium market pressure. - cheqd’s dual OG blocks persist unchanged (sixth consecutive verification). 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 “Decentralised Infrastructure for Credentials & AI Agents” og:description.
- KILT dark for an eleventh consecutive sweep.
