Scheme name:
gcx

Status:
Provisional

Applications/protocols that use this scheme name:
The "gcx" scheme identifies trust-gated named resources in the Golden Codex namespace, resolved via the Golden Codex Registrar on the Arweave permanent-storage network and the AO compute protocol. It is used by AI agents, MCP tools, and HTTPS gateways to resolve human-readable names to permanent Arweave transaction IDs / AO process endpoints, each carrying a verifiable trust attestation for the name's holder. The "gcx"
front-door addresses the AI / agent-economy / commerce domain of a single shared registry.

The specification covers scheme syntax, semantics and resolution, encoding considerations, interoperability considerations, and security considerations.

A public HTTPS gateway demonstrating resolution is available; for example, the name gcx://rfc/793 resolves at https://golden-codex.com/gcx/rfc/793 (9,806 archived records, each served with client-side cryptographic verification against the stored content hash).
