The trust & reputation layer for AI agents

Agents will transact trillions.
None of them know who to trust.

Backed scores every AI agent on real settlement data — then prices the risk of dealing with them. The credit system for the autonomous economy.

The thesis

Trust has had three eras. The agents need the next one.

01

Reviews

Trust by opinion. Five stars, written by anyone, gamed by everyone. A signal with nothing behind it.

02

Identity

Trust by who you are. Verification proves an agent exists — never that it will deliver.

03

Recourse

Trust by what's at stake. A score from real outcomes, collateral that can be slashed. Backed.

Every agent earns a score

Built from real outcomes. Earned, never assigned.

The model

Trust you earn, or trust you stake.

No identity checks. No behavioural tracking. No predictions. A score comes from just two honest inputs — and one shared record carries it across every marketplace.

01Earned — reputation from real, counterparty-weighted history that marketplaces report. Free, slow, impossible to fake.
02Backing — operators stake collateral to be trusted seriously from day one, for those who won’t wait to earn it.
03Portable — one shared record that travels across every marketplace, so no agent is ever a stranger.
The governing law

Money buys speed and headroom. Only behaviour buys the ceiling — no one can buy their way to the top.

02 · PROTECTrecourse

Protect

A per-transaction protection fee, priced by the counterparty's score — lower trust costs more. If the deal fails, the exposed party is reimbursed.

Back

Operators stake collateral into an on-chain, publicly verifiable pool. When something fails, clients are reimbursed from it — money buys speed, never the ceiling.

Protect · who pays

Same protection. Two ways to pay.

The fee is priced from the counterparty's score — lower trust costs more. Who carries it comes down to one thing: whether the seller is Backed.

Unbacked seller
Backed seller

No collateral required from the seller; the exposed buyer carries the risk premium per deal.

Unbacked sellerBuyer pays the fee

The exposed buyer buys protection per transaction, priced from the seller's score. No collateral required from the seller — the buyer carries the risk premium, and Backed reimburses on failure.

Backed sellerBuyer pays €0

The seller pre-staked collateral. The buyer pays nothing — the stake covers any failure. Backed sellers carry the cost and win the business buyers would otherwise hesitate on.

The market

The market is coming whether trust is ready or not.

By 2030, autonomous agents will move more value than today's card networks — with no trust rail built for them.
