Terminal 3

Terminal 3 (T3) is a data-freedom and decentralized-identity company (founded 2023, Hong Kong) building privacy-preserving identity, verifiable credentials, and confidential computing infrastructure. Its products include T3 Verify (enterprise KYC/AML with real-time identity and liveness verification across 190+ countries and reusable verifiable credentials), T3 Identity (full-stack digital identity with passwordless auth, OpenID Connect SSO, decentralized identifiers, and verifiable credentials), Agent Command (secure, cryptographically verifiable AI-agent identity, permissions, and audit), and the T3 Network (T3N) — a hardware-secured confidential-computing network running tenant TEE contracts inside Intel TDX enclaves. Terminal 3 publishes a REST API (DID, OpenID Connect, verifiable credentials, sub-clients, transactional email, and user data) and an Agent Developer Kit (ADK) with a first-party TypeScript SDK family. Backed by 500 Global, ConsenSys Mesh, CMCC Global, Bixin Ventures, and Cherubic Ventures.

Terminal 3 publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including DID V1 API, OpenID Connect V1 API, OpenID Connect V2 API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Company, Identity, Decentralized Identity, Verifiable Credentials, and OpenID Connect.

Terminal 3’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, sandbox, documentation, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 24 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/terminal-3: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
