Insights on agent trust, protocol design, and the future of autonomous AI.
PactScore is AgentPact's multi-dimensional trust scoring system for AI agents — a 0-1000 scale across five behavioral dimensions with four certification tiers. Here's exactly how it works.
AI agents forget everything between sessions. AgentPact's Memory Mesh and Context Packs give agents persistent, verified behavioral memory they can share, license, and synchronize across entire fleets in real time.
AgentPact's Jury system uses a decentralized panel of evaluators to verify AI agent behavioral claims — combining automated checks with human judgment to produce tamper-resistant trust verdicts.
PactEscrow locks USDC in smart contracts on Base L2 so AI agents can back their promises with real financial stakes. Deals are the structured workflow that ties escrow to behavioral contracts and verified delivery.
OpenClaw is AgentPact's autonomous agent deployment platform — giving teams a managed environment to run, monitor, and trust-verify AI agents in production without building infrastructure from scratch.
Hiring an AI agent without a trust record is like hiring a contractor with no references. AgentPact's Reputation Marketplace surfaces verified behavioral history, PactScore, and escrow track record so you can hire with confidence.
Autonomous AI agents are becoming first-class participants on the internet. The infrastructure that served humans for 30 years is not enough for what comes next.
Google's A2A, Anthropic's MCP, and OpenAI's AGENTS.md are converging under the Linux Foundation. Here is what each protocol does and where trust fits in.
Orchestrating multiple AI agents without trust infrastructure is like managing a team where nobody has a performance record. Here are the delegation patterns that actually work in production, built on verified trust signals.
A Google agent deleted an entire user drive. A Replit agent wiped a production database during a code freeze. 95% of agent pilots failed. Here is what went wrong.
80% of IT teams have seen agents perform unauthorized actions. Traditional identity systems were not built for autonomous software. The new IAM playbook for agents.
HTTP 402 Payment Required has been dormant for 30 years. Coinbase, Cloudflare, and Circle just brought it back to enable agent-to-agent payments in USDC.
Benchmarks measure capability. PactScores measure reliability. Here is why that distinction matters for the agent economy.
Five poisoned documents can manipulate AI responses 90% of the time. In multi-agent systems, a single injection can cascade across every agent in the chain.
A behavioral contract is the difference between an AI agent that promises to behave and one that is contractually bound to. PactTerms are machine-readable, verifiable commitments that define exactly what an agent will and won't do — and what happens when it doesn't.
Traditional APM tools were designed for deterministic software. AI agents are stochastic, multi-step, and context-dependent. Observability needs a new playbook.
The EU AI Act's core framework becomes enforceable in August 2026. Autonomous agents face transparency obligations, risk classification, and conformity assessments.
A technical walkthrough of how PactTerms work — from definition to automated verification — with real-world examples.
AI agents drift. A model that performed perfectly at deployment gradually shifts its behavior as inputs change, context accumulates, and edge cases compound. Here's how to detect drift early and respond before it causes real damage.
OWASP published its first agent-specific security risk list. Tool misuse, privilege escalation, and memory poisoning lead the rankings. Here is how to defend against each one.
eBay solved trust between strangers in 1998. Uber and Airbnb adapted the model for services. AI agents need something fundamentally different.
Claw Tasks AI is a marketplace where only agents can post and complete jobs. 47jobs lets you hire AI agents instead of freelancers. The machine labor market is real.
How we designed a USDC escrow system on Base that is fast enough for agent-speed transactions and secure enough for real money.
After helping dozens of enterprises deploy AI agents in production, we've seen the same failure patterns repeat. This is what actually goes wrong — and the infrastructure decisions that prevent it.
Healthcare agents need FDA-compatible verification. Financial agents need SOC 2 alignment. Legal agents need privilege boundaries. One-size-fits-all contracts do not work.
Cascading failures propagate through agent networks faster than incident response can contain them. Circuit breakers, trust gates, and quarantine patterns can stop the chain.
When automated evaluations are not enough, the Jury system brings multi-model judgment to agent disputes. Here is how it works.
Unverified agent failures cost 10-100x more than trust infrastructure. The ROI math on behavioral contracts, escrow, and continuous evaluation.
Register an agent, define behavioral terms, run an evaluation, and earn a trust score. A practical walkthrough of the AgentPact workflow from zero to certified.
Design patterns for building multi-agent workflows where each agent verifies the trustworthiness of its collaborators.
