Release 1: Pontus-X public catalogue, declared vs observed (2026-09-27), aggregate only
Files are in pontus-x/2026-09-27/:
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
summary.json |
The aggregate counts (redacted, see below). |
summary.signed.json |
The Ed25519 signature over summary.json, from did:web:csoai.org#board-attestation-1. |
summary.json.ots |
The OpenTimestamps proof for the summary.json bytes. |
summary.ots.json |
The state of that proof. |
Method
- Read-only. The source is the public Aquarius metadata catalogue at
https://aquarius.pontus-x.eu/api/aquarius/assets/query, for chains 32456 and 32457. We queried every document that has metadata. The query spans 12 Elasticsearch indices: 9,591 documents, which are 3,403 unique DIDs. - Endpoints and metadata only. For each distinct URL a document declares, we made one probe and recorded:
- DNS resolution;
- TLS certificate validity;
- the HTTP status of a HEAD request, or of a GET whose body was not read.
- No data consumed. Nothing was ordered, purchased, downloaded or consumed. The file URLs are encrypted and served only after an order, so file availability was not examined.
- Politeness. robots.txt was honoured, at most 1 request started per host per second, UA
CSOAI-measure/0.1 (+https://councilof.ai). - Timing. The run went from 2026-09-27T05:51:44Z to 05:53:06Z. Every URL was probed once, so there is no uptime measurement.
Counts (from summary.json)
Assets and declared service endpoints
| Measure | Count |
|---|---|
| Unique assets (DIDs) read | 3,403 |
| Assets by chain | 1,597 on chain 32456; 1,806 on chain 32457 |
| Asset types declared | 2,913 dataset, 483 algorithm, 4 compute, 1 SaaS, 1 access, 1 service |
| Distinct declared service endpoints | 20 |
| Service endpoints that responded | 20 of 20 |
| Assets whose declared service endpoint responded | 3,403 of 3,403 |
| Distinct service endpoints with a TLS finding | 2: one expired certificate, one "unable to get local issuer certificate" |
| Per-asset declared services, by TLS state | 8 TLS_INVALID; 3,398 TLS_VALID (3,406 services across 3,403 assets) |
Declared Gaia-X serviceSD URLs
There are 418 distinct serviceSD URLs:
- 97 respond;
- 6 answer with a 5xx status;
- 314 are unreachable (in 310 the DNS does not resolve, and 4 resolve but give no HTTP response);
- 1 is UNCHECKABLE because it is not an http(s) URL.
By asset, 2,882 declare no serviceSD URL.
What this shows
It shows whether each endpoint that a public catalogue entry declares resolved, answered and presented a valid TLS certificate at probe time.
What this does not show
- Data delivery or file availability.
- Whether any DID, credential or Gaia-X self-description verifies. The content of the
serviceSDdocuments was not checked, so it is UNMEASURED. - Uptime.
- Anything about the quality or conduct of any publisher, operator or participant, or of the ecosystem.
This is not a score, a ranking or a compliance determination, and no legal provision is bound to it.
Why this release is aggregate-only (redaction)
The signed staging summary named two service-endpoint hostnames (the two TLS findings) and one organisation in its disclaimer. This release names no operator. So:
- this
summary.jsonis a redacted aggregate: the hostnames are replaced by a count and the two reasons, and the organisation name is removed; - it was re-signed and re-timestamped as its own artifact;
- every count is unchanged.
The unredacted summary is committed here by hash only (redaction.source_summary_sha256), and so are the per-asset and per-URL files (withheld_files). None of them is published in this release, because they identify operators, DIDs and endpoint URLs.
How to verify
import json, hashlib, base64, urllib.request
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import ed25519
s = json.load(open("summary.signed.json")); raw = open("summary.json", "rb").read()
c = json.dumps(s["payload"], sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":"), ensure_ascii=False).encode()
assert hashlib.sha256(raw).hexdigest() == s["payload"]["artifact"]["sha256"] # file is the signed one
assert hashlib.sha256(c).hexdigest() == s["signature"]["payload_sha256"] # payload preimage
req = urllib.request.Request("https://csoai.org/.well-known/did.json", headers={"user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0"})
did = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))
x = [m for m in did["verificationMethod"] if m["id"].endswith("#board-attestation-1")][0]["publicKeyJwk"]["x"]
ed25519.Ed25519PublicKey.from_public_bytes(base64.urlsafe_b64decode(x + "==")).verify(
bytes.fromhex(s["signature"]["sig_ed25519"]), c)
print("VERIFIES")
For the timestamp, run pip install opentimestamps-client, then ots upgrade summary.json.ots and then ots verify summary.json.ots.
At publication the proof is a pending calendar commitment, not a Bitcoin attestation. It becomes one only after an upgrade returns a Bitcoin block-header attestation.
The signature proves only that these bytes were signed by the board key at signature.signed_at. It proves nothing inside the record beyond what the record's own instruments measured.
Objections and corrections
If you operate anything in this catalogue and disagree with a count, or want context added, please use https://councilof.ai/census/ to tell us. Corrections are published as new dated files. They never silently overwrite.
Objections, contact and corrections
To object to a row, ask for a re-check, request a correction or ask for a record to be withdrawn, email nicholas@csoai.org or use the appeals and dispute route at https://councilof.ai/dispute/. Corrections are listed in the corrections ledger at https://councilof.ai/api/corrections, with what changed and when. CSOAI Ltd (company no. 16939677, England and Wales) is the accountable publisher.

Only the aggregate summary is public. Per-asset probes and raw logs are withheld by design.
