Why this is canonical

'Ledger' is the term of art for an immutable, append-only record — the structural primitive that converts provenance claims into auditable commitments. On .ai, this positions the name precisely at the intersection of AI-system auditability and the distributed record-keeping architectures those systems require.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI output attestation
An immutable record layer for AI-generated content, model decisions, and agent actions — enabling downstream audit without post-hoc reconstruction.
AI compliance platforms, regulated AI deployers
Distributed / blockchain provenance
The naming coordinate for provenance ledgers that span organizational boundaries and require independent verification.
Blockchain infrastructure builders, cross-org data platforms

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
