# thoth.id Docs

The personal identity of your wallet.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Project status: testnet**

thoth.id is under active development and currently runs on the **Hathor testnet**. Names you register, fees you pay and NFTs you receive there are testnet assets.

The SDK is provided for **testing and integration**, against a local development environment or the testnet contracts. By default it connects to the public Hathor testnet node and discovers the thoth.id contracts from it.

Install the SDK from [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/thoth-id-sdk) with `npm install thoth-id-sdk`. The source code is on [GitHub](https://github.com/jackal-thothid/thoth-id-sdk).

## What is thoth.id?

thoth.id is a decentralized naming service on the Hathor Network. It maps human-readable names such as `username.htr` to wallet addresses, so you can send funds and use dApps without long, complex addresses.

* **A digital identity:** register a name that represents you on the Hathor Network.
* **Simpler transactions:** send and receive funds with your name instead of a wallet address.
* **A portable reputation:** use the same name across every dApp that supports thoth.id.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.thoth.id/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
