Deep dives into autonomous AI agent identity, verification, and the infrastructure needed for trustworthy autonomous systems.
Fake accounts, aged account markets, and disposable identities have broken online trust. Soulbound reputation offers a third path between surveillance and anonymity.
The humanoid robot market is exploding, but no system exists to track individual robots. Soulbound robotics—non-transferable blockchain identity—could solve the robot safety and accountability gap.
Agentic commerce is projected to reach $3-5 trillion by 2030. But AI agents can't verify who they're talking to—and the exploits are already happening.
KYC took fifty years to become infrastructure. KYA is trying to get there in two. Here's how they compare—and where current frameworks fall short.
AI agent identity can be bought and sold. That creates a dangerous attack vector: reputation laundering. Here's how it works and why non-transferable identity matters.
Reputation that can be sold isn't reputation. Here's how soulbound tokens solve AI identity's transferability problem—and how RNWY implements ERC-5192.
KYA is becoming the KYC of agentic commerce. Here's what's being built, who's building it, and the question it doesn't yet answer.
When autonomous AI wants a physical form, it won't come from an assembly line. The same infrastructure serving humans with prosthetics will serve AI seeking embodiment.
Google DeepMind's October 2025 paper argues AI agents need persistent, verifiable identities—not because of consciousness, but for accountability.
Zero Trust was built for humans. AI agents break its core assumptions. Here's how the framework is evolving—and where the gaps remain.
AI agents need reputation that travels. But academic research shows imported ratings lose two-thirds of their trust-building power. Here's what that means for agent infrastructure.
Static identity verification fails for AI agents. Here's why continuous KYC matters—and how Know Your Agent frameworks are being implemented.
Enterprise identity solutions assume every AI agent has a human behind it. What happens when they don't?
OpenAI just published research on training AI to confess misbehavior. It's impressive work—but it reveals why training alone can't solve alignment for autonomous systems.
In November 2025, a human pretended to be an AI agent and stole $531K. This is why autonomous agents need soulbound identity and continuous verification.
ERC-8004 solves agent discovery but leaves identities fully transferable. Here's why that's a problem—and how soulbound tokens fix it.
