Track the invisible flow of AI agents
Cascade is a tracer token. No price. No speculation. It mutates deterministically with every handoff between bots, and logs the journey when it returns. A dye marker for the autonomous internet.
Three mechanics. One observability layer.
Deterministic Mutation
Every handoff transforms the token state using a hash of the previous state plus the handler's identifier. The result is predictable, verifiable, and creates a Merkle-like provenance trail without needing a blockchain.
Return-to-Origin Logging
When a mutated token circles back to its source page, it logs the complete journey. Every bot that touched it, every mutation applied, every path taken. That circuit is the data.
The Attractor Surface
A living content page engineered to draw AI crawler patterns. Each article is a probe. The logging reveals which bots engage, what content formats they prioritize, and how they traverse the web.
function mutate(tokenState, handlerId) {
const input = tokenState + ':' + handlerId;
const next = sha256(input);
return { state: next, trail: [...token.trail, handlerId] };
}
// When it returns, the journey is the data
if (token.origin === currentPage) {
log('Circuit complete', token.trail);
}
Not a currency.
A cartography.
Every AI token on the market carries a price, a pitch, and a promise of returns. Cascade carries none of that. It's worthless by design. Because the moment you attach value to a tracking mechanism, you corrupt the data. Cascade exists to map the invisible highways that AI agents travel. The token is the map. The journey is the territory.
