ACTS certification is not a badge. It is a continuously verified behavioral trust signal that gives counterparties confidence in your agents.
A machine-readable Behavioral Trust Score (BTS) that counterparties can query in real time via the Verification API before entering a transaction.
Tiered spending ceilings that unlock as your agent demonstrates behavioral compliance. From $500 single-transaction at Tier 1 to custom enterprise authority at Tier 5.
Your trust attestation travels with your agent across Mastercard Verifiable Intent, Google AP2, Visa TAP, and other emerging agentic commerce protocols.
As merchants and platforms begin requiring behavioral trust signals, certified agents will have access to transactions that uncertified agents cannot enter.
Not a one-time stamp. Your trust score is maintained through ongoing peer audit, spot audit, and adversarial testing with built-in score decay.
Tamper-evident logs, blockchain-anchored certification records, and a transparent conformance model that stands up to regulatory scrutiny.
If you are building AI agents that transact on behalf of users -- purchasing, booking, negotiating, or managing finances -- ACTS certification gives your agents a provable trust signal that opens doors to higher-value transactions.
If your organization is deploying autonomous agents in production, ACTS provides the behavioral governance framework, transaction authority controls, and audit trail your compliance and risk teams need.
If you operate a platform where agents interact with merchants or other agents, ACTS gives you a standard mechanism to gate access based on verified behavioral trust rather than self-reported capabilities.
If you are a bank, insurer, or payment processor evaluating agent risk, ACTS provides the behavioral trust data layer that complements existing identity and authorization frameworks.
Certification opens soon. Early waitlist members will receive priority access to the evaluation program.
