GAP is a draft protocol for sending signed, raw ESG activity measurements from their source to investors’ AI agents through APIs and MCP.

Why it surfaced

Its central rule is unusually clear: transmit measured activity such as electricity usage, but reject payloads that already contain derived emissions figures. The site includes a normative specification, JSON schemas, test vectors, Ed25519 and SHA-256 signatures, a reference implementation, and deterministic MCP tools.

August 10’s newborn domains include a mock cryptid council that specifically discourages ham, a vintage phone collecting messages for Twyla’s 70th, a 4.5-meter dish measuring Galactic hydrogen at 1420 MHz, and an open index that found 530 sites permitting GPTBot in robots.txt while refusing it at the server.
