# Canonical properties

So you can tell a real aDNA property from a copy of one.
**Every public property aDNA operates or vouches for is on this list.** If you
found something calling itself aDNA that is not here and is not linked from a page on this
site, treat it as not us. Every domain, organization, and repository below was opened from
outside, logged out, on the date shown.

## Domains

- ### [adna.network](https://adna.network)

What it isThe canonical site — this one. Everything official starts here. Checked2026-08-18 — HTTP 200, logged out
- ### [community.adna.network](https://community.adna.network)

What it isThe community space: self-hosted, approval-gated, and early. Its honest current state, and its published rules, are on the community page. Checked2026-08-18 — HTTP 200, logged out
- ### [worldgeno.me](https://worldgeno.me) who runs it

What it isThe World Genome Academy's public site. Pre-launch at the last check. Who runs itA subnetwork's own public site. Its vault is one of the vaults counted above, on the same computer — this is not a second, independent operator. Checked2026-08-18 — HTTP 200, logged out

## Organizations

- ### [github.com/aDNA-Network](https://github.com/aDNA-Network)

What it isThe only GitHub organization aDNA publishes under. Code claiming to be aDNA from any other organization is not ours. Checked2026-08-18 — HTTP 200, logged out

## Repositories

- ### [aDNA-Network/aDNA](https://github.com/aDNA-Network/aDNA)

What it isThe clone-and-run workspace, MIT-licensed. This is what the install instructions point at. Checked2026-08-18 — HTTP 200, logged out
- ### [aDNA-Network/aDNA.aDNA](https://github.com/aDNA-Network/aDNA.aDNA)

What it isThe workspace this website is built from — the standard, applied to itself, in public. Checked2026-08-18 — HTTP 200, logged out
- ### [aDNA-Network/adna-legacy](https://github.com/aDNA-Network/adna-legacy)

What it isFrozen history from before the current repository layout. Archived and read-only — kept for the record, not for use. Checked2026-08-18 — HTTP 200, logged out; archived
- ### [Wilhelm-Foundation/rare-archive](https://github.com/Wilhelm-Foundation/rare-archive) who runs it

What it isThe Rare Archive, in the Wilhelm Foundation’s own GitHub organization under Apache-2.0. Legitimately connected to aDNA, and not controlled by it. Who runs itIn the Wilhelm Foundation's own GitHub organization, under their control, not ours. Related-party disclosure: the person who operates this network also holds a role at the Foundation, so read “not ours” as a statement about control, not about distance. Checked2026-08-18 — HTTP 200, logged out

Not every repository under our organization is listed. One vault in the registry records a
repository URL that does not resolve publicly, so it is not something you can check — it
is counted, without a link, on
[the state of the network](/state-of-the-network/). A list of
things you can trust should only contain things you can reach.

## Machine surfaces

The files this site publishes for agents and readers that are not browsers. These are this
site's own paths rather than separate properties, so there is no outside to check them from
— open them yourself.

- ### [/llms.txt](/llms.txt)

What it isThe curated index this site offers to AI agents.
- ### [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt)

What it isThe expanded agent index.
- ### [/rss.xml](/rss.xml)

What it isThe release feed for this site. One entry so far.
- ### [/sitemap-index.xml](/sitemap-index.xml)

What it isEvery page on this site, listed for search engines.

## Social accounts

**aDNA runs no social accounts.** Any account using the name is not us.

If that changes, it will be listed here first, and this sentence will be the thing that
changed.

## Retired, and not us

- ### adna.dev retired

What it wasAn early domain for this project, abandoned before launch. It does not resolve. If it ever resolves again, it is not us then either. Checked2026-08-18 — no DNS response

A lapsed domain is named here rather than quietly dropped. Silence would leave it free to be
re-registered against us, with no way for you to tell.

## How to verify you are on a real property

One check settles it. The others only corroborate, and we would rather say so than pad the
list.

- **Look at your address bar.** If it does not read `adna.network`, you
are not on our site. A copy can reproduce every word on this page — that is what
copying is — but it cannot serve them from our domain. This is the only check that a
clone cannot pass.
- Corroboration: every page in this site's navigation links back to this one from its footer,
and the site name in the page's metadata and copyright line reads **aDNA Network**.
- Corroboration: the structured data on every page names this organization, with its home at
this domain and its other presences listed. Note that a copy can reproduce that too, so read
it as a signal, not as proof.

## What we will never do

We publish no testimonials — attributed or otherwise. We will never contact you asking
for a key, a token, or a payment. Invented quotes and invented attribution are the clone-site
signature; if you see them beside this project's name, you are not on our site.

## Where to go from here

**If you came here to check this site is the real one:** it is, and the address
bar is the proof. [What actually runs, and who operates it →](/state-of-the-network/)

**If you found something claiming to be aDNA that is not on this list:** we want
to know. [How to report it →](/security/)

[Clone the standard →](/get-started/) &middot;
[Browse the registry →](/vaults/) &middot;
[Who&rsquo;s behind aDNA →](/about/)

Every domain, organization, and repository above last checked from outside, logged out, on
2026-08-18. See also
[the state of the network](/state-of-the-network/) for what
actually runs and who operates it.
