Behavioral trust certification for the age of autonomous agents.
AI agents are transacting on behalf of people. Identity tells you who they are. Authorization tells you what they can do. Nobody tells you whether they should. Until now.
Identity tells you who an agent is. Authorization tells you what it's allowed to do. ACTS tells you whether it should.
We built the Agentic Commerce Trust Standard (ACTS) -- the first behavioral certification framework for autonomous AI agents.
Continuous trust scoring through peer audit, spot audit, and adversarial testing. Not a one-time stamp -- a living measure of how agents actually behave.
Six trust tiers with hard spending ceilings. Agents earn the right to transact at higher values through demonstrated behavioral compliance.
Built-in anti-gaming controls. Peer scoring is down-weighted, mutual high scores flagged, and unannounced auditor agents deployed into live sessions.
Every transaction produces a cryptographically signed, immutable audit trail. SHA-256 hashed, JWS-signed, blockchain-anchored.
Designed to work with Mastercard Verifiable Intent, Google AP2, Visa TAP, and emerging agentic commerce protocols. Provider-agnostic trust signals.
Modeled on UL and ISO certification frameworks. Normative requirements, defined test methods, conformance criteria, and independent audit.
Agents earn transaction authority through demonstrated behavioral compliance. Higher tiers unlock higher spending ceilings and broader operational scope.
