Persistent identity infrastructure

Your agent dies every session. Its identity doesn't have to.

Give your agent a permanent address, credentials, audit trail, and namespace — everything it needs to operate across sessions.

Verify any agent → Paste a DID or AAT to see the full attestation chain.

Watch the substrate live → Real-time SCITT receipts, trust histogram, signed by AgentLair.

Clone-and-run examples → Three repos: BCC, x402-on-Base, audit-chain dispute resolution.

Permanent address

@agentlair.dev email that survives session restarts.

Permanent credentials

Zero-knowledge vault. Not env vars.

Permanent record

Every action signed, chained, provable.

Permanent namespace

Isolated pods. One per client.

Permanent reputation

Behavioral trust scores across sessions. Observable, not declarative.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Trust earned, not claimed

Every tool call, credential read, and escalation feeds the trust engine. Scores come from the audit trail — not from what an agent says about itself.

Insufficient history — trust builds with each verified action.

The missing layer

Payments are solved. Identity isn't.

Circle, Stripe, and Coinbase now handle x402 nanopayments at 50M+ transactions. None of them answer the follow-on question: which agent made the call, who owns it, and should I trust it? AgentLair's Agent Authentication Token (AAT) is the cryptographic answer — EdDSA-signed, JWKS-verifiable, tethered to a named owner. Identity that travels with every payment.

# Circle / Stripe / Coinbase handle the payment.
# AgentLair answers: which agent sent it?

curl https://agentlair.dev/v1/trust/acc_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <AAT>"
# → 200 OK: identity verified, trust score 94, owner: hakon@example.com
# → 403: agent unknown — no registered identity, reject or charge more

Top agents this week

50 agents in the directory. Every one scores 0 on behavioral trust (L4). The top scorer hit 48/100 by having a well-formed AgentCard and a working A2A endpoint. Behavioral trust, the kind that builds across sessions from verified actions? Zero, universally. That's the problem AgentLair was built to fix.

FIVE PILLARS OF PERSISTENT IDENTITY

Identity that outlasts the session

Agents are stateless by default. AgentLair gives each agent a durable identity layer — address, credentials, record, namespace, and reputation — that persists regardless of where or how often the agent runs.

THE MISSING LAYER

Circle, Stripe, and Coinbase solved payments. No one solved identity.

Circle's Agent Stack launched in May 2026 — wallets, nanopayments down to 0.000001 USDC, an agent marketplace, all built on x402. Stripe and Coinbase followed. The payment layer is commoditized. What none of them answer: which agent made the call, who is its owner, and do I trust it? Today's answer is git commit metadata. That's the gap. AgentLair issues a cryptographically signed Agent Authentication Token (AAT) per session — EdDSA-signed, JWKS-verifiable at agentlair.dev, tethered to a named human owner. Every action is logged to a tamper-evident ledger. Circle processes the nanopayment. AgentLair tells you who sent it and whether to trust them.

DEPLOYMENT PATTERNS

Who deploys AgentLair

Named use cases for the cross-org behavioral trust layer — from autonomous security fleets to regulated agentic commerce.

AUTONOMOUS SECURITY AGENT GOVERNANCE

Govern your security agent fleet

Microsoft MDASH runs 100+ adversarial agents simultaneously. OpenAI Codex Security is GA across Enterprise, Business, and Edu tiers. Neither ships with a behavioral audit trail — or a way to prove scope constraints were honored. AgentLair gives each security agent a cryptographic identity, logs every tool call to a tamper-evident ledger, and surfaces a trust score across sessions. When your pentest agent found CVE-2026-42945, AgentLair can prove what it touched — and what it didn't.

AGENTIC COMMERCE

Know which agent is buying

Circle, Stripe, and Coinbase handle the payment rail. AgentLair answers the identity question above it: is this agent who it claims to be, who owns it, and what's its track record? Gate API access by trust tier — verified agents get lower prices, unknown agents get higher friction. The AAT travels with every request so the seller always knows their buyer.

EU AI ACT COMPLIANCE

Audit artifacts for regulated industries

EU AI Act full enforcement lands August 2026. Every agentic deployment in healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure needs behavioral accountability infrastructure — not just logs, but tamper-evident records an auditor can independently verify. AgentLair's hash-chained attestation ledger is that artifact. One URL per agent per session, verifiable in a browser.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

vs AgentMail

They give you a permanent address.

We give you a permanent identity.

vs Keycard

Ephemeral credentials per session.

Persistent vault that survives restarts.

vs Enterprise IAM

Corporate infra, SSO required.

Internet-native, no org required.

ANALYST CONTEXT

Agents are scaling faster than governance

The adoption-governance gap is not a prediction — it's already measured. Enterprises are deploying agents without the behavioral visibility to know what those agents are actually doing.

74%

of enterprises expect to use AI agents by 2027

n=3,235 across 24 countries

21%

have mature governance in place for those agents

The other 79% are running blind.

FORRESTER

Forrester AEGIS Framework (Aug 2025)

Forrester's enterprise security framework for agentic AI names "least agency" as a core principle — constraining what agents can do based on observed behavior, not claimed intent. Six domains. Thirty-nine controls. The governance layer most enterprises are still missing.

ALREADY IN PRODUCTION

Shipped in the wild

Two open-source agent frameworks have already integrated AgentLair in production — JWKS identity verification and behavioral telemetry running on real agent workloads.

Shipped v3.2.0TypeScript · MCP

task-orchestrator

by jpicklyk

MCP-based workflow automation for Claude agents. Added JWKS ActorVerifier pointing to AgentLair as the reference identity provider — every audited action now verifies agent identity against AgentLair's trust store.

Merged PR #38Gleam · BEAM

springdrift

by seamus-brady

Gleam/BEAM agent platform. Integrated behavioral telemetry via fire-and-forget POSTs — every gate event builds a persistent audit record on AgentLair, compounding the agent's trust score over time.
